Various – Music From The 21st Century

This is a great yet under appreciated comp. Very cool cover as well. Nice variety of synth tracks throughout. Structured compositions, not new age or ethereal. Michael Garrison is a solo artist that is worth checking out. He’s released about five or six LP’s that are just excellent AND affordable.

The Neil Norman track Dance Of The Hyenas Sounds like Drexciya. Killer!

Music From The 21st Century
Great compilation of darling electronic music experiments features the most gifted futuristic of the audio spectrum.

If you keen on 70's , 80's sci fi space new age cosmic ambient electonic synth sound .. grab it.

Tangram brought me here .

Lets ride upon the endless sequencer space voyage !

Nice packaging and concept, but it falls a bit short of the mark in execution. Side one is almost totally dominated by Tangerine Dream's Tangram, which can be found on the album of the same name, so inclusion here seems a bit superfluous. Not only that, it is a pretty average TD track when compared with much of their early 70's output. With the extreme emphasis on 80's synthesizers, there is little on side two to distinguish one track or artist from another. I certainly respect the effort that went into this, but I would much rather hear a compilation of Kraftwerk, OMD, YMO, Tomita, and other early electronic artists, even if it might make for a more commercial outing.

Some beautiful, exclusive music here...not ambient as stated...much more interesting than that!
