Patchwork ‎– Odeon (1998)

Label: Spirit Zone Recordings
Country: Germany
Style: Drum n Bass, Dub, Downtempo, Ambient
Year:1998

While growing up under the background training of classical and folk guitar, Jens Paulsen took a slightly different musical direction when he took the alias of "Patchwork." Consisting of the trio "me, myself and I, " Paulsen combined an ambient flow of electronic/psychedelic overtones that could fit into the category of "new age, " even though that term is considered taboo by Paulsen. This sound is characterized on Patchwork's self-titled debut in 1997, followed by Odeon a year later and 1999's Marsmellow. Diorama appeared in mid-2000.   (Mike DaRonco)

Les Dupont ‎– Miracle (1995)

Label: Omnisonus
Format: CD, Album 
Country: France
Released: 1995
Style: Trance, Breaks, Techno, Ambient

   There is only one bad (sad) thing about this album : it never was released on vinyl. For the rest, this piece of resin contains some gems, totally unheard (because of released in France ?), overlooked, underrated and the most important : rather unusual.With the standout tracks you can find quality techno (Outremer, exotic feeling, "outremer" means the french departements located in the pacific, indian and atlantic ocean), quality house (Sur l'Eau, nice voice samples and delayed synths, but not sounding as all the self-called IDM things, released on vinyl fortunately) and quality downtempo (Jean-Michel).It becomes unusual with the structure of the tracks, they keep changing all the way ! Without becoming draft, that's what's interresting and the highlight of the album.    Review by ilt17

Various ‎– After Trance Vol. 3 - The Ultimate Techno Morning Mix (1995)

Label: Javelin Ltd
Format: 3 × CD, Mixed, Compilation
Country: France
Released: 1995
Style: House, Techno, Trance, Ambient

This is the best trance mix compilation I have ever heard so far. Though the mixing isn't all that spectacular, the track selection is amazing. Little if any vocals on here. Many of my oldskool trance favourites are on here, from Sarasate's Loopism to Clino's Voyager, this massive release is end-to-end trip into bliss. 
The 1st CD itself is the greatest trance mix ever, a journey into melodic, progressive trance. Second CD introduces darker side of trance in addition to melodic. The 3rd CD has some breakbeat-style trance and downtempo-like tracks for a smooth finish. DJ Jean-Marie K has amazing taste in trance music. Good luck finding this release for a decent price!

Various ‎– East-Westercism (1997)

Various ‎– East-Westercism
Label: Law & Auder
Country: UK
Released: 1997
Style: Drum n Bass, Downtempo, Ambient

   As the title might suggest, this album takes the sound of Eastern music & mates it with all that is modern (and sometimes not so modern) in Western musical culture. The resultant hybrid is a surprisingly fluid, entertaining & fascinating journey through a musical chimera which has been a long time coming to fruition but well worth the wait. None of the overloaded voices which always seem to be pushing the VUs far, far into the red, or the sitar scrambles which remind one more of some somnambulist walking through an unfamiliar shop-full of metal wires. This is quality - no one track stands out as weaker than any other. This is a bona-fide victory of album arrangement by PHIL EARLE & KINGSUK BISWAS. Makes you want to hear more by each artist.              Review by bonnicon.

Art Of Silence ‎– artofsilence.co.uk (1996)

Style: Techno, Ambient, House
Year:1996


JJ Jeczalik was a member of Art Of Noise during the 1980s. When the band had split, it still was disputed who is to retain the legal rights to use the name for musical releases. 
As a result, and approriately enough for a group comprised of extreme intellectuals, Jeczalik began recording under the pun name of "Art Of Silence" while his former bandmates rechristened themselves as "The Image Of A Group".

If you needed to give someone a compilation to be a good representation of all the different styles and moods of all that is good in 90's electronic music no one could argue giving them this little 3 disc cd gem. This is what the 90's were all about for me. A random comp with a cool cover with trusted artists and new found lesser known but quality producers all in a tour de force of expressions. Very fine compilation. Find a copy if u can. I bought 3 of the two disc version on Distance because it's more available. Plenty of tunes for the serious heads that's deep enough and also fulfilling new to electronic music dreams as well. Now if only I could find my lounge chair  (review by TIM)

Впрочем, на рутрекере доступны два релиза, из которых составлен box set:

Delysid ‎– Holo Movement (1995)

Label: J.U.IC.E

Country: Germany

Released: 1995

Style: Ambient

    Следует обратить внимание на название альбома. Holo Movement - это не очередное бессмысленное словосочетание, как можно было бы подумать, но обозначение философской концепции Дэвида Бома.

V.A. - Surrender To The Vibe (1995)

Cтарый добрый английский эмбиент с неизбежной для того времени примесью гоа-саунда.


This is an old-school-Goa-oriented ambient music. It's very deep, airy and melodic at the same time. Such music is the best way to distract your attention from everyday routine and contamplate the greatness of the universe.


Вторая часть вышла лишь спустя четыре года.  
я особо выделяю здесь проект mammal.

Various ‎– Electronic Planet Vol. 3 - East Edge Sampler (1994)

    Продукция лейбла  TDK Core Co. Ltd., о котором известно только то, что он японский. Будет непросто точно классифицировать стиль. Скорее это нечто на пересечении Dub, Downtempo, Ambient.

Из аннотаций: 


Extremely rare Japanese Ambient & Downtempo sampler, stunning artwork and fabulous music here.


Exquisite Ambient, Japanese and rare!

V.A. Mahasiddhi - Paradise Ambient & Tribal Journey (1996)

    Эта компиляция привлекательна прежде всего своей немалой ценой на discogs.сom. После долгих поисков мне всё-таки удалось найти и скачать её, но, пожалуй,  не следует выкладывать ссылку на обменник, чтобы не поломать бизнес коллекционерам :)

    Честно говоря, я до сих пор не смог найти подходящего повода, чтобы прослушать этот раритет. Но, разумеется, он был отмечен не только из-за фактора цены. На том же cамом немецком лейбле (Paradise Productions) в том же самом 1996 году выходил известный ценителям транса сборник V.A. - Rabtu Gawa - Paradise Trance, что позволяет надеяться, что и эмбиент компиляция будет недурна.

    Наконец, здесь есть и трогательное посвящение всем тибетцам, пострадавшим от произвола китайской оккупационной администрации:

    The front cover also says "Benefit Tibet", and on the back of the front cover the story says: "In 1950 China invaded Tibet. The Tibetans have calculated that 1,2 million have died as a result of the Chinese take-over. In 1959 the Dalai Lama was forced to flee his home and now travels the world gathering support for his people. The Tibetans believe in a non-violent struggle for freedom. The deserve all the help they can get. 50% of the profit of this CD will go to the Tibetan people, who lost everything, even basic things like homes, clothes, food and medication. You will help to prevent one of the oldest cultures of the world from disappearing.

Ton Koppenaal ‎– Electronic Ambient Grooves (Volume One)

    Этот альбом так и остался единственным в серии, хотя слова Volume One будто бы намекали на продолжение. Впервые он вышел под названием Matter-Energy-Space-Time ‎– M.E.S.T. в 1995 году, хотя был записан  летом и осенью 1994 г. в Амстердаме.


    Выраженное гипнотическое звучание с лёгкими вкраплениями техно и трансовых мотивов  всё же однозначно позволяет отнести эту работу к эмбиенту. В первом треке звучат отрывки из фильма The Andromeda Strain (Штамм Андромеда. 1971г. )
