His vision has expanded, and his recent work is exotic and atmospheric. The second installment takes a new look at an older genre by an artist who has grown and matured. With the revival of ambient, these disks prove Greinke to be a true visionary. This new, remastered release includes three previously unreleased tracks from 1988, complementing the 12 originals from 1985-86. The mood here is dark, indeed quite menacing at times.
Some use is made of strangled, gutteral voice samples.
The rest of the original tracks present assorted drones, groans and muffled rhythmic patterns. The three bonus tracks from 1988 attached to this re-release seem indicative of this change in course. Remastered by Hypnos founder Mike Griffin with the addition of several previously unreleased tracks, Places of Motility represents some of Greinke's most daring and original work. The vast diversity of this album can be gleaned from just the first few tracks. The remainder of the album works with these ideas and more.
