Compiled as part of Music From Memory’s acclaimed “Virtual Dreams” project, this expansive set charts the golden age of early-to-mid ‘90s ambient techno and chill-out culture — an era when club music stepped away from the dancefloor and into deeply immersive, contemplative territories. With standout cuts like LFO’s shimmering MDMA-charged synth work on “Helen”, Global Communication’s weightless remix of “Arcadian”, Move D’s early gem “Sergio Leone’s Wet Dream”, and Spacetime Continuum’s lush, drifting pads, the compilation captures the full spectrum of that blissed-out sound.

Elsewhere, Sideral’s “Mare Nostrum” delivers a potent dose of slow acid hypnosis, while Sun Electric’s “Love 2 Love” radiates euphoric warmth. Together, these tracks form a vivid time capsule of the chill-out room’s heyday — a sound world designed for moments of post-rave introspection as much as for deep listening at home. One for the lovers and the ravers alike.
