This disc has all of the essential Ambient - Various Artists classics. This -song debut EP shows the promise that Ambient - Various Artists has. It’s natural for Ambient - Various Artists to take a stab at ‘Baaba Maal / Call To Prayer’ considering her long-professed love for Godless Cruelty. Enjoy the show.
Brian Eno / Tal Coat is simply marvelous. Amorphorous Androgynous / In Mind still maintains something of a specific flourish. It took me a little time but I ended up loving Tangerine Dream / Rubycon Part 2 (Edit). This track is just a stunning masterpiece. So much energy, so exciting a sound.Ryuichi Sakamoto / Nuages is a good listen every once in a while. Fripp-Eno / Wind On Water is probably one of Ambient - Various Artists’s biggest successes for the album - it’s lovely to listen to. Opening track Penguin Cafe Orchestra / Wildlife shows the best of Ambient - Various Artists. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. Gong / Magick Mother Invocation - To me, this is the best song on the Ambient 2 - A Brief History of Ambient Volume 2 (Disc 1). Sylvian-Fripp / Bringing Down The Light has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. Jah Wobble / Not Another - I used to hate this song, but now it’s one of my favorites. No Ambient - Various Artists song has come close to capturing my attention as The Guo Brothers / One Flower did. Ambient - Various Artists has created something that grabs you by the heart and gets you moving. Ambient 2 - A Brief History of Ambient Volume 2 (Disc 1) couldn’t start better than with the up up-beat title track Eno-Byrne / Mountain Of Needles.
