As far as availability/affordability goes, you really can't go wrong with the "A Brief History of Ambient" 2CD comps on Virgin. They're up to at least Volume Three, maybe Four now (with 2CDs in each volume) but IMHO Vol. One is the best by far. I stumbled upon this when I was in high school and it opened whole new worlds for me. A lot of the folks people have been namechecking are on Vol. One - both Enos, Tangerine Dream, Froese, Hassell, Czukay, and others. So it's a good starting point for discovering your roots. More inna ambient stylee than idm, but amazing all the same. This never came out on vinyl to my knowledge. Enjoy...Brock PS - Thanx to all for the Carl Craig help, I just got the Elements comp today and am digging it. Different than what I'd expected, but good all the same. Now to find those elusive 69 12"s. ____________________________________ Brock Phillips - xxxxx@xxxxx.xxx.xxx WXYC 89.3 FM The New Science Experience Tune in every Saturday night 9-12 AM EST http://www.wxyc.com for live RA broadcast Promos, demos, etc. welcome for submission Email for postal address and details...
