Released in 1997 by All Saints Records, this compilation serves as a premier showcase of the label's influential ambient, electronic, and leftfield roster. The production features a curated selection of tracks from visionary artists, including alternative versions of Jah Wobble's William Blake-inspired works and atmospheric contributions from Brian Eno and Roger Eno. The collection highlights the diverse sonic textures of the mid-nineties, ranging from the ethereal piano melodies of Harold Budd and the classical-folk crossovers of Kate St John to the pioneering deep-ambient soundscapes of Biosphere. Many tracks on this release were either previously unreleased or taken from landmark albums like Substrata and The Drop, making it a comprehensive document of the era's avant-garde electronic scene. This edition captures the high-fidelity digital mastering synonymous with the All Saints label, offering a cohesive listening experience that traverses tranquil minimalism and experimental dub.
