  A Career spanning collection by Colorado's legendary art-music collective featuring
  
  Object Holder (1995), Invisible Map (2001), [Mnemonists] Gyromancy (1984/2004), Half A True Day (2007), and Funnel To A Thread (2014), along with Counterbalance (a bonus disc compiled specially for the box and not available for download).
  
  No longer available through regular retail channels, this rare collection includes the following albums, and a lavish bonus book with copious artwork by the Biota/Mnemonist collective.
  
  Once we run out of these 25 remaining copies, this collection will once again be unavailable...and perhaps out of print for good (!?!?)

  CD2: Biota ‎– Invisible Map (2001),
  CD3: Mnemonists ‎– Gyromancy (1984/2004),
  CD4: Biota ‎– Half A True Day (2007), and
  CD5: Biota ‎– Funnel To A Thread (2014),
  CD6: Biota - Counterbalance (2019). along with a bonus disc in the box not available for download:
  
  the audio for Half a True Day is not currently included in the band's discography available on bandcamp, but when purchased here, the purchase includes access to all currently available albums AND also includes the audio (download only) for their 9th album release: Fragment for Balance.
  
  BIOTA:
  Since the late 1970s Biota has ploughed its own furrow, producing a body of work that resembles nothing anyone else has done or is yet doing. Their compositions evolve in long, constantly shifting timbral blocks filled with fragments and echoes of quasi-familiar musical languages and sounds – or none - and use instrumental resources that span half a millennium and two thirds of the planet to create unique combinations of timbral colour in constant motion; this is a music in which everything is in flux, constantly dissolving and reforming and mutating while, from a distance, there is calm. It’s a music in which movement and stasis share a single endless moment. And although we arrive nowhere, the path beguiles, both familiar and strange and – on this record – strangely comforting. As always it’s meticulously recorded, with layer on layer of subtle processing and mixing. Like all their earlier releases Funnel has been some five years in the making. You can hear why. Comes in a lavish package with copious artwork by the Biota/Mnemonist collective
