VOLUME 1 delivers a fantastic mix of ambient music from
some of San Francisco's greatest masters of sedation: Psychic TV,
Michael Mantra, The Heavenly Music Corporation, Space Time Continuum, H20, The Dark Beautiful, Spice Barons, Hyperdelicious, Artificial Paradise and XKP.
This volume now serves as a "snapshot in time" of the San Francisco ambient scene as it started to blossom in 1993. The sounds range from the environmental serenity of Michael Mantra's hemi-sync piece to the dark and disturbing radio static voyage of Psychic TV. (SR9336)
"When the majority of 'ambient' material is lazily indulgent and
ill-conceived, there is a clear need for music that is pursuitist, instead
of escapist. To find it, you should start looking here." --Generator
