The man who told us, "it's time to lie down and be counted", Mixmaster Morris has been of the leading exponents of ambient in the UK since it's beginnings as club music. Classics like Hymn (as Dreamfish) take me straight back to the early nineties and the more recent Irresistible Force album is equally innovative. The Irresistible Force remix of Autumn Leaves was on one of my decks when they were nicked and is much more sorely missed than the deck it was on. As for some of his mixes on early Solid Steel... absolutely essential. Morris avoids the pitfalls of ambient music - his stuff is NOT the cliched, boring stuff that sometimes passes for ambient
This man, Morris Gould, is very controversial person. Some of his work is amongst the very top of ambient techno movement (like collaboration with Namlook - "Dreamfish", and his last LP "It's Tomorrow Already" and also some other tracks). I highly recommend these releases to everyone who likes innovations and unusual aspects of ambient music. Also try to find remix of Higher Intelligence Agency's "Speedlearn", it's one of my favourites of all times.
