"I consider myself a major ambient music buff, and I consider this CD, along with Feed Your Head 2 and 3, rank among the best in my large collection of music of this type.Another great Planet Dog/Mammoth record. 90% of their stuff is outstanding!This music goes way beyond Enigma. It transports you to a world of hypnotic rythymns, sounds of the east (Tibet -- maybe India?) and of spacy dream worlds. An excellect mix of some of the best ambient music I have heard -- very trancendental! I highly recommend all three in the "Feed Your Head" series. This one I would rank equally with the 2nd. The 3rd is also very good, but with a more electronic sound. "Feed Your Head 3" is similar to "Planet Dub," (also from Mammoth/Planet Dog Records).If you have heard these, and enjoyed them, I would also recommend the following ambient compilations:Dimensions in Ambience 1 (Island Records) *****Sounds From the Ground - Kin (Waveform Records) **** 1/2All three Baramundi Samplers (Logic Records) ****One A.D., Two A.D., and Three A.D. (Waveform Records) ****Amberdelic Space compilation (4 CDs) (Dressed to Kill Records) **** Air I + II (FAX Records) ****Celestial Journey (Rising Star) **** Ambient 2 - Imaginary Landscapes; A Brief History of Ambient, Volume 2 (Virgin) **** Tranced Out and Dreaming (Mammoth/Planet Dog Records) ***1/2 Banco de Gaia -- Last Train to Llasha (Planet Dog) ****"
