Beautiful album, couldn't agree more.

This thread has opened up a whole bunch of stuff for me in the last six months or so. I think it'll be my abiding lockdown music (from memory).
That Hinata album is lovely. My latest find has been Masahiro Sugaya's Horizon compilation from last year. It's mainly piano-based but has that lovely 'woody' thing going on. I can't get enough.

Music From Memory is turning 50! Beyond happy to finally announce no less than our 50th release since we kicked things off back in 2013! This time with a special release we’ve been working on for some time now: VA - Virtual Dreams: Ambient Explorations In The House & Techno Age, 1993-1997 (3xLP/2xCD) is the first in a series of compilations, as well as more in depth artist-focused releases, which will delve into music produced during the 1990’s that redefined the boundaries of ‘Ambient’. This was music that explored the concept of Ambient within a new setting, created often by House & Techno music producers for a world beyond dance floors but made very much with the pre and post-clubbing listener in mind. Returning to our own first discoveries of Ambient music in the 90s we’ve been revisiting some personal favourites as well as rediscovering amazing music from a youth spent watching Chill-out videos on VHS, staying up all night to watch MTV’s Chill Out Zone as well as some of our earliest dabbles in local record stores. From Ambient and Chill-out classics, to lesser known one-off projects, as well as Ambient deviations by some of the House and Techno’s leading producers, volume one of Virtual Dreams features tracks by Bedouin Ascent, LA Synthesis, LFO, Marc Hollander, Mark Pritchard & Kirsty Hawkshaw, Richard H. Kirk and more.Check the video for David Moufang’s stunning track ‘Sergio Leone’s Wet Dream’ from his CD-only album ‘Solitaire’ (1995), released on Peter Namlook’s cult Fax +49-69/450464 label. As always head over to our YouTube channel for the full track and stay tuned for more info!Volume One of ‘Virtual Dreams’ is released Dec 8th

yeah, love that album. i originally caught wind of it through young marco's first mix for beats in space, which is great but behind a paywall now, unfortunately (but understandably.)
intrigued by MFM's upcoming 90's chill out explorations
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Tuesday, 15 September 2020 17:12 (three years ago) link
i want that now! lol
the suzanne kraft / suso saiz album is also sounding spectacular and better than i imagined.

Oh good I was mildly worried I was the only one who got excited about that one. Suso is great!

Between No Things is wonderful. I could listen to the Weak Wheel of the World for a, uh, week.
― Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Wednesday, 16 September 2020 09:09 (three years ago) link
Happy to see David Moufang on here. Looks as though my long-dreamed about Fax revival is right around the corner
No pre-order link as of yet, I guess?
― Paul Ponzi, Wednesday, 16 September 2020 10:28 (three years ago) link
If you like Between No Things and slept on Suso's Nothing Is Objective, check it out because it is also fantastic.

Psyched for this. Tracklisting looks great except for the Primitive Painter track. I just can't get past that Voodoo Ray sample they used lol. Anyway, props to Jamie Tiller for putting this together.
― millmeister, Wednesday, 21 October 2020 20:40 (three years ago) link
Hazy memory but I think I have APL - The Calling on one of the Ambient Dub comps though I think it might be a different mix? That guy's two tracks on that are an absolute highlight for me though iirc. Stoked for this comp if everything is of that standard.

BTW if anyone is buying anything from Juno in the near future, do yourself a favour and stick a copy of the Javier Bergia comp CD in your basket cos they're selling it for 99p at the moment. Very MFM adjacent - he was a member of Finas Africae, so if you know them, you'll know to expect top stuff

The Virtual Dreams: Ambient Explorations in the House & Techno Age 1993-1997 is out (and on Spotify if that's your thing). It's good! Tuomas mentioned on another thread that it's kind of what you'd expect really but that's more than fine.
― Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Saturday, 19 December 2020 11:07 (three years ago) link
Looks like the physical version got pushed back to February, but I've been looking forward to this one. The Pulusha and Space Time Continuum tracks alone are worth the price.

Coming out on her own label this month. Music From Memory releasing the vinyl I believe. Last year's 'Roll with the punches' was ace.

I'd love to get my paws on a copy of this one but unless it gets repressed that's probably not going to happen :(

Awesome! Yeah that 12” ended up being one of my favorite releases of last year.
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 5 January 2021 16:58 (three years ago) link
clips sounds great, intriguing. Her track on this is great as well: https://wearerhythmsection.bandcamp.com/track/233-2

Thanks for the tip. Just purchased.'Roll with the punches' was released in 2019 my mistake.
― millmeister, Tuesday, 5 January 2021 17:44 (three years ago) link
Definitely excited for this one.

Maybe I need to spend more time with it, but didn't have the same immediate impact as Roll With The Punches for me.
― MikoMcha, Sunday, 24 January 2021 14:20 (three years ago) link
May be of interest to people who enjoy MFM stuff - our man Suso Saiz is on it for instance. Looks pretty good imo:
