Review by barticle Aug 15, 2003

referencing The Definitive Ambient Collection, CD, Comp, RSN CD 11

The title of this release sounds kinda boastful until you realise that this is a compilation of tracks from probably the most respected (and certainly the most prolific!) Ambient producer, Pete Namlook. The music here is alternately beautiful, haunting and otherwordly; the top track for me is the eastern-influenced Santur taken from the excellent album Silence which was also licensed to Rising High in its entirety.

By the way, for the benefit of those who didn't spend their high school science lessons looking up the "interesting" stuff in chemistry textbooks, the cover image is a representation of a molecule of LSD... but with the benzene ring replaced by the Rising High logo. :)
