This is the guy that got me properly into electronic music. I was instantly won over by the lovely enchanting sounds of the opening classic 'Little Fluffy Clouds' - spacey, dreamy beautiful, shiny and really in a word pleasant. The rest of the tracks are an electric jam through space with warm pads, interesting and intelligent samples and intelligent production. It's amazing chill out music that just seems very deep and purposeful to me and indeed is rated as one of the all time electronic classics and supposedly helped spawn the ambient house genre.
I was always waiting for something like this to shatter my stereotypes and misconceptions about electronic music and I'm very glad it came along and blooded me into this vast genre, I think you'll be glad too. Lie down, grab your depressant of choice, drift off somewhere distant and enjoy it.
