Releasing one of his first compilations,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/music.marknine.com\/album\/artificial-horizon\" target=\"_blank\">Artificial Horizon<\/a> right over at BandCamp. He followed it up with a few other singles and an album in 2008 titled, <a href=\"http:\/\/music.marknine.com\/album\/terminal-c\" target=\"_blank\">Terminal C<\/a>.

It&#8217;s a poetic song that has a lovely classical style melody; making it ideal if you want some quiet time. Meanwhile,<em> An Afterthought,<\/em> echoes the same sentiments as the opening cut but this time it comes with heavier drums and quite a few samples lurking at the background.\u00a0Several other cuts worth noting include <em>Solar Flare, Oxygen Supply<\/em> and the near 10-minute single, <em>Token Rings<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>If you ever need some ambient sounds to keep you company through your downtime, then this is a great album to check out.
