I agree with these recommendations, though with the caveat that Electronic Meditation is more freakout than ambient. Other contemporaneous synth chill out classics include Klaus Schulze (early-mid '70s), Manuel Gottsching/Ash Ra (although the first six Ash Ra Tempel records are awesome, the most relevant start with Inventions for Electric Guitar) & Popol Vuh's first album, Affenstunde (a pure electronic album- the synth was eventually donated to Schulze). Actually, there's also a great bootleg Popol Vuh 7" in a similar style (live @ Beat Club, I think), but I would feel bad mentioning it (oops). -rob --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
