Biosphere's 2nd CD for Touch after Cirque [Touch # TO:46, 2000] is a double CD in digipac designed by Jon Wozencroft.
Due for release to coincide with the Touch 2001+ tour of the UK in May, the release consists of:
CDOne - Substrata
Originally released in 1997 on All Saints Records, this remastered version of Substrata contains 11 tracks with a total length of 55:20.
'...by many (the undersigned included) considered to be the finest ambient album of the 1990s' [Motion/State 51], and 'Three years after its release, BIOSPHERE's 'Substrata' is already being recognised as one of the all time greats of deep electronica.' [Top Magazine]
CDTwo - The Man with a Camera
contains 9 tracks, total length 53:32. The first 7 tracks consist of the soundtrack to 'A Man with a Movie Camera' [sic], originally commissioned for the Tromsø International Film Festival in 1996,
