This album delves deep into the emotions of love lost and the search for the true heart, composed between 1995 and 1999 this album contains the original downtempo mixes of several of Ives' singles released on Musicnow, Yoshitoshi and Shaken Not Stirred. Ives' debut downtempo construction began in 1995, the night he let go a nine year relationship. The song "Eyes of Paradise" was born that night, The inspiration and the journey of finding and losing love would carry him through until the completion of Satyriasis in 1999. This melancholic melodic journey is layered in intricate musical patterns stemming stylistically from trip-hop, down-tempo, intelligent drum'n'bass. The album bore fruit to the dance music scene with the track, "Sublimation". It was signed to Shaken Not Stirred Records in 1998 and was followed by the signing of "Ovation" in '99, both songs feature the vocals of Devika. "Eros", which was originally composed in 1996 has been remixed as an ambient piece by Ives for the Tetrasomia circus show in 2001 and is featured on the album "Tetrasomia". Eros was to be remixed yet again by Ives and this time as a Progressive House tune which was signed to Yoshitoshi/Shinichi records in 2001. Though 'Satyriasis' was never officially released due to licensing issues it has been the seed study of all that Ives composes today.
