Me thinks it's an important documentary on the "formative years" of IDM
/ ambient trance. It's got some real classics (Xtal) and a copule of
throwaways. As all will no doubt tell you, it's 180 degrees different
than SAWII. Is it groundbreaking now, no -- was it groundbreaking then,
probably. Is it still very listenable and enjoyable now -- definitely.
