The Haunted Science

Omni Trio’s 1995 debut for Sm:)e Communications balances the breakneck percussion of drum n bass with ambient, cinematic downtempo passages—a rare equilibrium that influenced the “intelligent drum and bass” movement. The Haunted Science proves the trio’s gift for orchestrating intricate breakbeats alongside melancholic strings and spectral atmospherics, creating something simultaneously dancefloor-ready and introspective. Essential listening for anyone tracing the lineage from rave’s harder edges to the genre’s more contemplative dimensions.
