AAAAaaaaHHHHhhhhh now this really is super lovely. Just what my mind needs right now, some super chilled and wonderfully playful electronica. This was originally released in 2009 in an edition of 100 copies but is now back in print, this time in double disc DVD case as opposed to the original jewel case package. You may well be aware that this is indeed the audio to a video game of the same name. I know that Brian is an avid videogame fan so composing these tunes must have been a whole lot of fun. Especially given the visual aspect of the game is total eye candy. Really very pretty and this is echoed beautifully in the audio. I've not actually played the game, I really do need to get on the case with that but from the clips I've seen online the sounds complement and build upon the overall aesthetic of the game. But what is most important right here is that the 2 disc set is a magical listen throughout, even when taken out of the context of the video game it's just really lush electronic music. Really love a lot of the bleepy melodies and wonderfully restrained beats. Grab a copy while this is available once more.

After a year and a half of work, the fruits of my first real soundtracking job have now arrived. Being the project that essentially reinvigorated my interest in making ambient music as Milieu, this commission is very significant for me. Initially named "Dyson" when it was first created, Eufloria is an ambient strategy game that has gone through a number of changes and has been nominated for several awards as well as winning some. I signed on to design sound effects and compose unique music for the game's modern and surreal atmosphere. This album, containing 2 and a half hours of new music spread over two discs, is the result. Lovingly packaged in full-color artwork from the game itself, and limited to 100 copies. This disc is sure to please longtime listeners as well as newcomers to the Milieu sound.
