ambient CD reviews (13224 words)
This is a remarkable album for the ambient enthusiast and one I would recommend wholeheartedly, in fact it would be ideal for falling asleep to after the album has finished.
This album isn't a sampler of what’s on All Saints, rather an album of artists who are on All Saints (though, not all), and follows on from Eno's Music For Films series he did on Virgin.
His new album Play is apparently a stunner and the quality of songs on this single certainly indicate the man has reinvigorated his performance and song writing skills.
