About this record:
Octachoron is a new project from ambient techno sort and V.C.V.S member Sandro Kozmanishvili and Bakur Metreveli. Sandro is an artist best known for his work under the Hanker alias. For the most part, Land of Meta - the debut Octachron release - is far more positive, melodious and obviously ear-pleasing than some of Kozmanishvili's previous work, serving up tracks that variously draw inspiration from the deep space ambient of Pete Namlook, the hypnotic "kosmiche" workouts of Tangerine Dream and Harmonia, 1980s new age, early '90s ambient techno explorations and, in the case of "Microwave Background", the twin out-there joys of dub techno and bubbly electronica. In other words, it's a very strong debut album.
