Hypnotic sequential circuits, trancegrooves, ambientfunk, worlddance - house music for meditation. Electronic music has been looking fo fresh impulses since the early eights to renew the at the time not any more progressive Berlin School. Recently the techno, dance and house music artists have displayed a lot of innovation when using elrctronics, sequencers and synthesizers. Ultrabass has been able to capture that imaginative innovation an has injected this electronic "attitude" into the context of contemporary electronic music, but rooting itself in ambient music, trance/dance grooves and hypnotic sequencing.

Grayfolded is a two-CD album produced by John Oswald featuring the Grateful Dead song "Dark Star". Using over a hundred different performances of the song, recorded live between 1968 and 1993, Oswald, using a process he calls "plunderphonics", built, layered, and "folded" all of them to produce two large, recomposed versions, each about one hour long.

Originally recorded in 1973, Green Desert did not see the light of day until it was remixed and released as part of the In the Beginning box set in 1986, then as its own album later the same year. It is difficult to ascertain how radical this release is from the original recording, but as it stands, it is a logical step between the rawer-produced Atem to the ambient/sequencer-driven style of Phaedra. A key element of this is attributable to Edgar Froese's guitar playing on the title track, an unhurried solo that lasts only about five minutes in the nearly 20-minute piece, yet is easily the most memorable part of the entire song. None of the three shorter songs are as dynamic as the first, each containing a keyboard melody played over synthesized noises and the rhythms of drums, sequencers, or a series of chords.
