Steady State Music (1993), de
Wieland Samolak (Imbalance Recordings 01), publicado em 1993 na estreia da editora, foi recentemente reeditado por
Robert Henke (
monolake) e disponibilizado para descarga gratuita a partir da página do artista sonoro alemão. Steady State Music resulta essencialmente de drones de ruido tratado e processado como se de arranjos corais em larga escala se tratasse. Um clássico de 1993 que vale bem a pena ouvir.
