Album description (from Monotonik website):

Over the entire 49-minute LP, there are a plethora of high points, but many may be initially fascinated by a rare Monotonik-released dub track up front, in the form of the sparse 'Concentration Dub', before the epic 11-minute long 'On The Nature Of Consciousness' takes us away with almost Orb-like spoken word samples and some beautifully placed ambience. Other highlights include the mild paranoia of the JFK assassination-sampling 'Single Bullet Theory', the straight-ahead groove of 'Origin Of Species', and the marvellously placed groove of 'Momentary Bliss'.

I found out about Monotonik by accident after downloading the great g-town-samples via legaltorrent. I downloaded the 2006-releases from Monotonik, often very interesting stuff, and the 11 pieces by Wavespan are all worth a listening. Great, thanks for this!

And by the way, this legaltorrent website has a lot to offer, some remix-files from David Byrne and Brian Eno, for example, a pleasedosomething-netlabel with warm and soft music just good for me , drum and bass stuff, idm and much more, not belonging into some "category" but great. I'd think many of those songs are just fine for KVR-listeners too.
The "on the nature of consciousness" for example is really a NICE way of combining words with some slow music, nothing you'd never heard anywhere before maybe, but it sounds great, experimental melodic music. Thanks for this, says Mr.late-find-out
