Review by Aim023 Sep 29, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)

This 2 CD set, yet another weak compilation from the label Cleopatra, is marketed as "a 2 hour mind journey of electronic ambient space rock", which isn't exactly the most fitting title they could have come up with. I almost suspect this is merely a veil for a compilation of the best-selling acts on the label coupled with artists that make the former look more influential - this makes for a rather limp listening experience.

While the CDs do have a few artists that are considerably ambient, primarily electronic-based or of the space rock genre, the compilation is pervaded by the usual artists whose material is showcased ad-nauseum by this label. A first glance at the tracklist provokes little more than a scratched head. For instance, seeing Brian Eno, Ozric Tentacles, Nik Turner and Tangerine Dream on the playlist makes sense in this context... but why The Legendary Pink Dots, Delerium (blegh!) and Alien Sex Fiend?

Besides that, a lot, if not most, of the artists featured here are great but like many of Cleopatra's compilations the songs selected were not exactly the artist's better material.

I would recommend purchasing an album or many from about every one of the artists on this release, but with them blended together this way, everything just seems too nonsensical for me personally.
