Review by BomberOne May 17, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)

referencing Apollo, CD, Comp, AMB 926 CD

Here was displayed for the first time the many variants of IDM, showing that there was much more to Ambient than just atmospheric instrumental tracks : from the deep moody electronica of david Morley or Biosphere, to the dub-influenced collages of the Orb's remix of Electrotete, and the detroit techno of Model 500 at its most subtle, every track here is a gem, making it an unrivalled release. Opens your ears, refreshes your mind.

Officially the release was titled Apollo 1 (check the old R&S/Apollo site as reference), but because of the sticker and lack of a true visible name on the cd/record, it was later known as the "File Under Ambient" comp.

I don't know if this was meant to be the title (although I leaning towards "yes") but on my copy, it had a sticker that said "File Under Ambient". Most sites I've seen which mention this release seem to think that this is the title.
