Overview

Organik was composed and arranged during the summer of 1999 at Can Maresa in Ibiza, then recorded and mixed across seventeen months from 2000 to 2001 at Muchmoremusic Studios in London. Self-released on Salt Records, it is also available from Narada, Shakti Records (U.S.), and DBX Records.

The title "TSBOL" stands for "That Small Bubble of Life". It is derived from the sample used in the track intro: " Time to work. Time to relax. Time to reflect... Look down. Look down. That fragile bubble of life float on a sea of nothing: [Spaceship Earth.] ".

The title "Pour Te Parler" is French for "To Talk to You."
