Description
Lush extended ambient trip from 1992, a classic of its time. Very much of the same ilk as the best of the Orb and the KLF. On lovely double vinyl. Sleeve and disc very good; one hairline mark barely discernible on listening. Buy it quick, before I decide I can't bear to part with it.
I love vinyl and treat it right. Your record has been carefully checked, and will be cleaned and packaged in a rigid mailer, for safe delivery and extended tune pleasure. Rapid dispatch.

Product review
What do you do after touring as The Shamen's DJ for two years? This is the band that took drug taking to a professional level, after all. Mixmaster Morris holed up in the studio and made one of the world's finest ambient albums - well, you'd need it, right? "I'd never seen a band that took drugs as seriously as them," says Morris. "I actually got disciplined for not taking enough, and that's never happened before."
It's mid-summer 1992, and the studio is in a first floor basement. Morris is primed with a wealth of knowledge about records old and new, and wants to fuse the cosmic jazz of Sun Ra with the Chicago house of Lil' Louis. Unusually, the studio is rammed with people - the live, freewheeling, freestyle nature of how the tracks came together created a club atmosphere. Among the party people in attendance is early House bod and Frankie Bones collaborator, Lenny Dee. He sat in for three days, "with his mouth shut," says Morris, "and he's normally a real chatterbox". Like Dee, many listeners were stunned by the results.
Symphony in E is the trippiest, with its nods to 70s psychedelia, while Spiritual High pushes the bpm throttle, veering into trance territory. At the LP's heart, and Morris', is ambience. This is a man who states "I think therefore I ambient" - a mantra that he etched onto the run-out grooves of this LP. As a whole, it's a headphone odyssey, and people, quite rightly, file it next to The Orb's debut and the career best work of The KLF.
