* EpicRocking: BT's debut album ''Ima'' has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryrfVK4X0qQ "Sasha's Voyage of Ima"]], a 42-minute medley of the album's songs mixed by well-known British DJ Sasha. Most of the standalone songs are also quite long, for example the two-part "Loving You More" is a total of 13 minutes; "Blue Skies", another two-parter, is 17 minutes; and "Divinity" is 11 minutes. They don't call it "epic house" for nothing.

!! BT's music can be heard in these works:

* ''Need For Speed: Underground'' (Licensed his song "Kimosabe")

His albums have run the gamut from straight progressive trance, to vocal-heavy dance, to phenomenally stirring ambient music. As a producer, he's collaborated with many other artists ([[SoulCoughing Mike Doughty]], Music/ToriAmos, BritneySpears, and [[ThePolice Stewart Copeland]] to name a few) and remixed songs by... pretty much anyone he hasn't collaborated with ({{Madonna}}, TheDoors, DianaRoss). {{Trivia/BT}}

** The credits for the song "Le nocturne du lumière" list "who knows what else" after all of the conventional (and non-conventional) instruments, and all of the software BT wrote himself.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: His first two albums, ''Ima'' and ''ESCM'', their respective singles, as well as his greatest hits compilation ''10 Years in the Life'', have yet to be rereleased digitally (or at all), due to legal conflicts between record companies or because his former label (Kinetic Records) went under.
** The Coolaid mix of "Quark" was originally only released on the DJ-only vinyl promo, and wasn't publically released until ''10 Years in the Life'' in 2002, and even then only as part of the nonstop-mixed second CD.

* OneOfUs: Whenever BT hasn't been able to make a certain sound or sequence, he's written a program to do it. One such program allowed him to create stutter edits (the signature, hyperactive split-second edits in his songs) ''in surround-sound.''
** His XBOX Live tag is [=BTLovesYourMom=]. Enough said.

* ''These Re-Imagined Machines'' (2011); A 2-disc set containing many assorted remixes of tracks from ''These Hopeful Machines''. [[LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition A 3-disc set containing an obscene amount of goodies]][[hottip:*:the 3 CD's containing 24 remixes, 1 DVD of all 59 remixes and 3 music videos, a 2.32-page, 12” hard bound book, a 3.12” x 72” poster and a BT logo sticker, as well as being personally autographed and serial-numbered by BT... whew!]] was released some time later.

* ''If the Stars Are Eternal, So Are You and I'' (TBA 2012)
* ''Morceau Subrosa'' (TBA 2012)

** His XBOX Live tag is BTLovesYourMom. Enough said.

* ''These Re-Imagined Machines'' (2011); A 2-disc set containing many assorted remixes of tracks from ''These Hopeful Machines''. [[LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition A 3-disc set containing an obscene amount of goodies]] was released some time later.

* ''These Humble Machines'' (2011); radio-edits of ''These Hopeful Machines'' on a single disc.

* ''These Re-Imagined Machines'' (2011)

* WordSaladLyrics: "Never Gonna Come Back Down", his collaboration with Mike Doughty, is naturally full of this. Adding to the weirdness, Doughty also recites from the [[TheBible Book Of Revelations]], gives shout outs to an imaginary audience, and asks for DJ Rap's phone number in gratuitous Spanish. BT actually had him do a few takes of improvised rambling and pasted together the best bits of them between verses.

* ''These Re-Imagined Machines (2011)

His albums have run the gamut from straight progressive trance (''Ima'' and ''ESCM'') to vocal-heavy dance (''Movement In Still Life'' and ''Emotional Technology'') to phenomenally stirring ambient music (''This Binary Universe''). As a producer he's collaborated with many other artists ([[SoulCoughing Mike Doughty]], Music/ToriAmos, BritneySpears, and [[ThePolice Stewart Copeland]] to name a few) and remixed songs by... pretty much anyone he hasn't collaborated with ({{Madonna}}, TheDoors, ''DianaRoss'').

* SingleStanzaSong and LoopedLyrics - "Smartbomb" features a line taken from the next track ("Love on Haight Street": "Back on the set and covering all bets") looping over and over with a short chorus carrying the title.

* EpicRocking: BT's unsung debut album ''Ima'' has "Sasha's Voyage of Ima", a 42-minute medley of the album's songs mixed by well-known British DJ Sasha. Most of the standalone songs are also quite long, for example the two-part "Loving You More" is a total of 13 minutes; "Blue Skies", another two-parter, is 17 minutes; and "Divinity" is 11 minutes. They don't call it "epic house" for nothing.

* BrokenBase: ''Emotional Technology'' was panned by some fans on release for going way too far into pop and rock music. ''These Hopeful Machines'' got similar treatment for seeming to be "more of the same". Adding to the fire is ''This Binary Universe'', a downtempo glitchtronica opus that was released between these two albums, that had won over its own sizeable fanbase. Once ''THM'' came out, these new fans became disappointed at what was also perceived to be a step backward.
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: From ''These Hopeful Machines'' we have "Forget Me" - an epic song, which gives way to BT's daughter Kaia singing the chorus alongside a music box and a field recording of a park at the end. One reviewer [[http://www.trancedaily.com/2010/02/03/10-reason-to-buy-bts-these-hopeful-machines/ literally dropped everything]] when Kaia's voice rang out.
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome - At least one track per album. Highlights include "Dreaming", "Flaming June", "Paris", and "Simply Being Loved (Somnambulist)".
** I'd like to add N*Sync's "Pop" to this list, which was produced by him.

** The majority of songs on ''ESCM'' were also over 8 minutes in length, culminating with the awesome 11-minute "Content"

* FridgeBrilliance : This Binary Universe was inspired by his daughter and was also dedicated to his deceased dog. The fifth track "See you on the other side" was mostly dedicated to his dog and the music video was a picture of his dog split up into fractals among other visual noise. Fast forward to "These Hopeful Machines", the music video for "Rose of Jericho" has a similar color motif and overall is very reminiscent of "See you on the other side", but it doesn't kick in why until you see what a [[http://www.fisheaters.com/roseofjericho.html ''Rose of Jericho'']] is.

* OneOfUs: Whenever BT hasn't been able to make a certain sound or sequence, he's written a program to do it. One suck program allowed him to create stutter edits (the signature, hyperactive split-second edits in his songs) ''in surround-sound.''

* RecordOfLoudnessWar: ''These Hopeful Machines'' has gotten a bit of flack for this.

His albums have run the gamut from straight progressive trance (''Ima'' and ''ESCM'') to vocal-heavy dance (''Movement In Still Life'' and ''Emotional Technology'') to phenomenally stirring ambient music (''This Binary Universe''). As a producer he's collaborated with many other artists ([[SoulCoughing Mike Doughty]], ToriAmos, BritneySpears, and [[ThePolice Stewart Copeland]] to name a few) and remixed songs by... pretty much anyone he hasn't collaborated with ({{Madonna}}, TheDoors, ''DianaRoss'').

* ''Game/{{Frequency}}'' and ''Amplitude'' (Contributed tracks to each)

* NewSoundAlbum: BT has changed sounds several times. His first album ''Ima'' was deep/progressive house, then he changed to drum&bass/trance/ambient/trip-hop for ''ESCM'' and ''Movement in Still Life'', then to dark techno on the ''DieHard Trilogy 2: Viva Las Vegas'' soundtrack, then ''Emotional Technology'' was pop-trance, electro, and rock ballads. ''This Binary Universe'' was a complete GenreShift to experimental ambient and new age material (influenced by CreatorBreakdown due to his equipment being stolen and his daughter's kidnapping), then ''These Hopeful Machines'' ventured back down the ''Emotional Technology'' route, as well as incorporating elements of [=IDM=] and glitch-hop.
