I like Archipelago and Exploring the Tributaries (especially ETT, which is more progressive/ambient oriented and a very very nice album indeed). Archipelago has some nice tunes and a nice atmosphere over-all, but i think its effects-production over music, so i guess it could be a little more musical for me. Still, these noisy woosh effects present through-out the album give a nice ambient-atmopshere. I have to say though that Archipelago has a great front-cover which IMO is better than the music itself! :eyespop:
Damn, that would be the perfect front-cover for a Sigur Ros album, or a weird dark-ambient project or something... :crazy: |

Yep, Robert Elster does the live appearances by himself. Saw him a couple of weeks ago and it was quite disappointing. Slow and predictable. On record > live (nowadays at least). |

I am surprised more people like Archipelago over ETT.. I personally like ETT more.. as PETRAN pointed out earlier, tracks on Archipelago are too heavy for me too.. like a lot of music/sound in one single track blend together, like overdone.. ETT is more subtle and I like the simplicity of tracks in it..
But overall Archipelago has greater number of good tracks than ETT IMO. |

He means "over-produced" with lots of effects and samples going-on at once, whereas tracks in Exploring the Tributaries revolve around a more specific central theme and are more simple. I will agree to that, although what is "over-" and "under-" produced is quite subjective really. Some people like "heavy" productions whereas others call them "over-produced" so it is not standard. |

It's a question of style and thus of taste. :) |

To generalise it in one way.. people who like high bass setting on their winamp would like Archipelago.. and people with low bass and more treble would like ETT.. |

| On the other hand, Archipelago is a great trance album, but Exploring The Tributaries is a bit more minimal and electro influenced (or 'experimental' as they called it) so isnt as good. Interesting to see how other people compare the two. |
