Various – Virtual Dreams (Ambient Explorations In The House & Techno Age, 1993​–1997)

Eine Zeitreise in die frühe Entstehungszeit einer sehr zeitloser und experimentierfreudigen hoch qualifizierten Elektrischen Musik…

Und das Kind war geboren!!! 🥰🚀

A landmark release. Every track is a gem.

Must have been repressed again if the for sale listings are any indication. Records are flat with great sound.

What are you waiting for? Go get it.

Just been repressed !. Get on it kids. Rah rah.

One of the best 90s ambient comps I've ever seen, and the pressing is excellent, too. As someone who was there throughout the 90s actually buying and listening to these very tracks with other DJs and listeners of this type of music, I deeply appreciate the way this comp is compiled and sequenced -- brings back some wonderful memories. These were the cuts that we were actively listening to, so whoever put this together was paying attention. The pressing is flawless as well. Music From Memory does reissues right, and other companies (most reissue companies if we're being honest) should sit up and take note with what this label has been doing.

Listening to this on a Nagaoka MP-500H and this pressing is phenomenal, track it down while you can.

Hard not to need a back-up copy, each track eminently a standalone collectible. For me there’s a stirring appeal to ‘ambient’ beats from this period, an innocuously flirtatious pysche-shift to the heavens. Fit for purpose.

Looking for this copy with sticker included - - -

Amazing music! A+ selection. The pressing is great! Packaging super! Highly recommend!

Flawless, once again, from the MFM guys. Although a small, proud and childish part of me is nervous that a whole maddening crowd of hipsters will seek up "my little secret" of Ambient House/Techno from the early 90's, and possibly exploit it, I still have to it that this compilation is simply amazing. MFM have truly honored the artists and the scene as whole in the best possible way. The track selection is very good and coherent, made by a true collector and DJ, although I feel the Sun Electric track felt a bit malplaced. And being one of my favorite acts from those days it's certainly not their most presentable track. I think the Thomas Fehlmann remix of O'Locco would've suited this comp much better. Oops, that's my proud, childish, elitist part of me talking again.

Either way, I love it. I love the selection, the mastering, the presentation, the on-point artwork. If you're new to this rabbit hole, Welcome! You couldn't find a better entrance. If you're an old lover and collector, there's still a lot of value for you here. Buy on sight!

Remarkable album, took me right back to the 1990s when I listened to ambient ‘intelligent techno’ as I called it. Great sleeve notes from Piers Harrison, too. Worth every penny.
