Howie B. – Music For Babies

Just revisiting this album. Like the commenters below, it's an album I’ve listened to plenty. I could say it’s stood the test of time, but better to say it’s timeless.

I'd even argue this has a similar place in the UK music cannon to that which Endtroducing occupies in the US.

Perhaps an unnecessary comparison. But they make great listening alongside each other, and have the same flirtations with the epic and the intimate, quiet listening and the dancefloor.

What are they waiting for to re release this masterpiece in audiphile quality?

I've listened to this album probably well over 300 times....granted i was sleeping, but this is the single greatest thing to sleep to.

Obviously an alltime ambient classic album! howie dedicates the album to the birth of his first child. on most of the tunes he creates an atmosphere that makes me meditate and surely makes not only me think of how an unborn or nu born child may hear the world. still the album is changing a lot in styles and moods, dynamics and tonality. an acustic trip through an electronic organic sound universe and a nice example for how fresh british producer have been in the early 90s.

not to forget the blazing artwork of the booklet. i won´t get to that here, but be sure: you can spend some hours with the LP and just go over and over the differently designed and sometimes transparent pages. DIG IT !
