Innervisions’ first album launches a series aimed at creating something beyond the dancefloor, stretching a home listening experience accompanied by lavish visual presentation with a 60-page soft-bound booklet coming in the embossed linen package. The first set harks back to the early strain of ambient music which would galvanise the mighty Orb and spawn chillout rooms everywhere. The overall mood of the specially-created excursions is spaced, floating and ethereally melodic in the true spirit of mellow relaxation music, roping together names including Mark Pritchard & David Brinkworth, Ame, Henrik Schwarz, I:Cube and the Kammerflimmer Kollektiv, highlights including the Tokyo Black star’s gorgeous ‘Kagura’ and the eerie tugboat drift of Stefan Goldmann’s ‘Life After Death’. They save the absolute coup for last with electronic pioneer and Tangerine Dream founder Klaus Schulze’s epic ‘Invisible Muzik’, a classic piece recalling his old bands’ glory years in its haunting melodies and endless vistas of disembodied voices and sublime orchestration.
