Title: Top-quality ambient compilation
Product review: With ambient techno going out of fashion faster than Adolf Hitler moustaches at the Nuremberg Trials, record store fetishists are likely to strike gold in the various bargain bins. I picked out this ... thinking it was just the usual compilation which might have one or two tracks to MD. I was wrong. Both discs feature strong compositions from the top dogs of techno including Speedy J, Paul van Dyk and a great Robert Fripp/Orb collaboration called 'Lucky Saddle'. Most tracks are downtempo and ambient flotation though there are some - but not many - trancey moments. But we're talking all-killer-no-filler, and a 190-page booklet with articles and interviews with the artists involved. Warp/Rephlex fans will find enough here to keep them happy for a while. ...
