I've got Freefloater.
It's very good, in a Photek, Biosphere or µ-Ziq kind of way. They're not as dubby as Sounds From The Ground or as electonica-y as Global Communication.
Hope that helps.
P.S. Spelling in no way indicates intelligence. That is more often denoted by how often one can find one's backside with both hands (without help that is).

excellent, so are we talking downbeat D&B or up beat electronica?
Must check this out, are they new or old?
I am supposed to be paint balling in the morning but I feel a vinyl search coming on, (which incedently will cost about the same!)

I'd say somewhere in-between!
But, if I might say so, you really really really ought to go for a little something by Shpongle (you'll have noticed that all the Mana crew are going potty about them - only a couple of years late, but never mind, eh?). I prefer "Are You Shpongled?", which is livelier than "Tales Of The Inexpressible", though the latter is more varied in style.
Or get "Kin" by Sounds From The Ground - wonderful ambient dub.

Ok I am on it.
I have discovered a way to curb my buying music habit.
Look for it on vinyl!

Neither IMO. I would call it very ambient shading to electronica (which is a very wide church). He has collaborated with Biosphere a few times, who also is world-class ambient electronica from Tromsø in North Norway (Geir Jensen) Maybe you could call both of them ambient with beats. Both of them tend to sample something from their locale. For example HIA used a tug boat diesel chugging on 'Birmingham Frequencies' both of them used cable car cable-creakings in one of their collaborations IIRC and Biosphere has used the sound of ice melting. Absolutely essential listening of their kind.
