on june 19, 2012, bt released "if the stars are eternal so are you and i", along with "morceau subrosa", his seventh and eighth studio albums. "if the stars are eternal so are you and i" was an about-face from bt's previous album "these hopeful machines", utilizing minimal beats, ambient soundscapes, and glitch music, as opposed to the electronic music style of "these hopeful machines". "morceau subrosa" is very different in style compared to most of bt's previous works, favoring ambient soundscapes and minimal beats.
