Artist: VA Title: A Brief History Of Ambient Vol.

On this improperly mastered edition, the track index points for disc 2 are the same as on disc 1. That is, disc 2 reads as having 14 tracks instead of 15, and none of the track start points are correct after track 1. Disc 1 is mastered correctly. All tracks are segued.

As reviewed by me in August 1993: Guh. Music here from 1974 to 1993. Take Pete Ashdown's reaction to Orbital 2, multiply it by Jon Drukman's reaction to Tales Of Ephidrina, and you have a tiny fraction of what I am feeling about this compilation. And this is only volume 1! There's more to come! Disc 1 plays 76:43; the times listed add up to 76:34. Disc 2 is entirely mis-mastered, such that if you skip to the beginning of a track you will find yourself in the middle of the song you wanted, or the one before it, or the one after.

Luckily the music is all there in the right order. It also clocks in at 76:43, but the music ends at 75:52, and the times listed add up to 75:33.
