"I can't really describe what this is. It's electronic music. But that's all i can say.



Some songs start very ambient but then comes some heavy drum sounds and strange noises surrounds you. There are samples from movies here and there.



"Farewell Microscapes" is very hypnotic and relaxing. After that comes "Of My Efforts" with strange drum rhythms, a groovy bassline and jazzy melodies. This is just an example of how many styles there are on In Vitro Tide.



This is very experimental music. If you think the record you just bought sounds like something you already have, then you should try this....

Surface 10 - 'In Vitro Tide' (Din)

"Never knew that Surface 10 (which is more of a project, than a band) had this many releases out. I first discovered Surface 10 from the tune they have on the label Cleopatra's 'Space Box' 3-CD box set(see my review). 'In Vitro Tide' is noted as Dean de Benedictus's second effort, but I know I've seen like maybe at least three other Surface 10 titles. This is really good techno. Tracks I was most impressed with were "This Will Sting", the somewhat funky "Service 10 Rendered", the rhythmic "Of My Efforts" and the 12-minute "Defrag Harvest Nocturn(DHN)". Line-up: Dean de Benedictus-mixing,Phil Williams-guitar,Curtis Davis-bass and John Wells-sampling. Just might appeal to fans of The Orb,808 State,Art Of Noise and possibly Kraftwerk."
