Ah, 1994. Those were the days, weren't they? Tired of being slapped around by clubland techno, you just wanted electronic music to stay in the background and serenade as you and yours padded around the kitchen or made love on a pallet set up in front of the stereo speakers. Most of the artists in "the ambient music division" of this particular label apparently mastered the art of staying alongside the action - and the first third of this compilation carries a nice, mild, erotic charge. Synthesized woodwinds dominate the beats, so that Jaydee's "Think for a While" with its breezy flutes and Melt's "Sunsailor" with its bubbling synths are respectively the setup and throwdown for Man-Delo's "Shomyo"…
