Reviews & Discussion
Also worth mentioning is that this is the only (?) place you can find Aphex Twin's "#19" on CD. It is the 19th track from his "Selected Ambient Works II" LP, which was omitted on the CD version. It's the picture of wall-to-wall carpet, sometimes called "Stone in Focus", and one of the best on the album.
In spite of the lackluster, early-to-mid 90s graphic design, this compilation packs a solid ambient wallop, with a broad range of pieces from a stong line-up of artists. From the lush, full sounds of Spacetime Continuum's "Floatilla" and Grain's (apparently of edgy FatCat techno fame) "Birth.Son" to the introspective soundscapes of "Charlotte's Mouth," and Aphex Twin's hauntingly simple "#19," this assembly is high quality. And for the record, Air in this scenario is Pete Namlook, taken from his Fax label.
Steve Fisk's Express God is spooky as sin. Great stoner album for 7 tracks; a pleasant adventure into sound... until this evil thing comes out of the speakers. Then the last 2 tracks (Mike Kandel & Aphex Twin) save the day.
This is an excellent compilation there are no awful tracks (one creepy one). But I specifically got this for the Future Sound of London track; it's exclusive to the compilation (on all 3 versions: tape, cd, vinyl).
