Rainbow Dome Musick on Virgin... one of the best ambient records ever.
The Orb nicked a lot of their good ideas from this.

Search out the newer System 7 items. Particularly the album "777"
(not the one you have - this is a British CD with a green-tinted
cover. First track is "7:7 Expansion".) - an excellent trance record
with many echoes of Rainbow Dome to be found within. Also, the single
for "Sinbad/Quest" is quite excellent.
