...isn't a particularly inspiring name for a band, and the list of genres they label themselves as might cause some people run shrieking from the room. Biomass dropped into my inbox a week or two ago, with a link to free download for their album Energy. From San Francisco, Biomass list the following among others- ambient, psychedelic, industrial, neo-classical, psychonaut, visionary, shamanic, trance and visual music at their bandcamp page. So far, so San Franciscan, but their stuff is worth a listen if you like drones or hypnotic pulsing 'dance' music. The picture above is what I got when I image searched 'biomass' and 'energy'. The visuals the band use are somewhat more sophisticated but I like diagrams like this one.
