This was music that explored the possibilities of Ambient within a new setting, created often by House and Techno producers for a world beyond dance floors but made very much with the pre-clubbing and post-clubbing listener in mind. When House and Techno exploded out of America in the mid 1980s a whole generation was transformed not only musically but also culturally and chemically speaking. Peaking, quite literally, with a second ‘Summer of Love’ in 1988, millions of young people would experience the life-changing ups of a new world but with it of course came the downs; enter the concept of a ‘Chill-out’ room. Whilst early Chill-out rooms lacked a specific sound and were often sound-tracked by music such as reggae and soul, slowly young Techno and House producers themselves became increasingly interested in developing a futuristic ‘Ambient’ soundtrack to a world beyond the thud of the main room. ‘Ambient’ in this new age now though had sharper teeth than in Brian Eno's key text for Music for Airports, instead here the sounds were the mode of transport rather than the backdrop. While the melodies were pretty, the soundscapes steered away from the pastoral, often dreaming of outer-space and technology as opening up transformative new dimensions. The tracks would be accompanied by music videos, often utilising early CGI techniques, and they would look almost entirely to the future: envisioning technology, nature and humanity intertwined in a new Utopia. These were the Virtual Dreams of a new world. \" - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Music+From+Memory\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMusic From Memory\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecollection of forward-thinking ambient \u0026amp; chillout side-tracks from house + techno artists of the 90s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2025 black triple vinyl pressing \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincludes tracks by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Global+Communication\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGlobal Communication\u003c\/a\u003e, LFO, Move D, Roman Flügel, Richard H.

While Part One focused heavily on music from European techno and house producers, exploring new soundtracks for chill-out rooms and reimagining the future of club culture, Part Two narrows the lens to a unique time and place: Japan between 1993-1999. Despite missing out on the 'Acid House Fever,' Japan's club culture began to take shape in the early '90s. Unlike the rest of the world, where ambient techno\/IDM emerged as a byproduct or response to the scene, 'listening techno' was a central pillar of Japan's club culture from the start. Virtual Dreams II is compiled by Eiji Taniguchi and Jamie Tiller, who previously collaborated on Music From Memory releases such as Heisei No Oto and Dream Dolphin - Gaia. This project is especially poignant as it is the final one Jamie Tiller worked on before his tragic passing in 2023. Jamie had been researching, planning, and compiling this edition of Virtual Dreams even before the first chapter was released, believing that many great tracks in Japan fit the series' concept. Knowing how much love and energy he put into this compilation gives it a special place in our hearts.\" - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Music+From+Memory\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Music+From+Memory\"\u003eMusic From Memory\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecollection of forward-thinking ambient \u0026amp; chillout side-tracks from the 90s house + techno scene in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eblack double vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eprinted inner sleeves w\/ extensive liner notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Music From Memory 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Music From Memory","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl 2LP","offer_id":41405199188058,"sku":"lp-15352","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/files\/musicfrommemory-virtualdreams-blackvinyl-1.jpg?v=1762285948"},{"product_id":"the-rah-band-going-up-vinyl-lp","title":"RAH Band: Going Up Vinyl LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e“When i’m far out in the night and searching for a light, there’s darkness all around and you’re nowhere to be found…”\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRichard A.

Shaped by mid-century American music, Hosono's work now reverberates back through a new generation of Western artists remarkable circular exchange. Yours Sincerely, his 23rd studio album and first collection of new music in over seven years, finds Hosono ever-pushing his exploratory songcraft: 'I am now 78 years old, but from here on, I feel a growing curiosity toward the unknown music that my new self will create, while also embracing the music of my former self—as if I now carry two musical worlds within me.' Across arrangements that span tender psych-folk and bubbling avant-pop, Hosono contemplates the concept of a maternal force that envelops the Earth, 'humanity’s understanding of the unconditional love possessed by those who give us life,' he says. Songs tap into a collective current, engaging the 'deeply buried instincts—maternal compassion and mercy, things we rarely engage with in our daily lives.'\" - Ghostly International\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e'mothership' colored vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eindie exclusive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincludes printed foldout insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elimited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Ghostly International 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!---PREORDER START---\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"preorder-module\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"preorder\"\u003e\u003ca name=\"preorderpolicy\"\u003ePre-Order Policy\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you want to order additional items (\u003cb\u003eincluding other pre-orders\u003c\/b\u003e), please make separate orders.

The project machinates an intersection between soul, punk, salsa, doowop, jazz, funk, the avant-garde, and rap traditions, filtered through a distinctly New York City sensibility. The ensemble’s practice is characterized by a mischievous alliance with ephemerality, lived experience, and site-specific signification with works often distributed unexpectedly and within limited physical windows. This emphasis on transience and communal memory remains central to the project’s ethos. On SOTC II the New York outfit channels said philosophy into a 15-track album. The result is a tense, genre-defacing record that exists between fried psychedelia, rock-n-roll, no-wave rap, r\u0026amp;b, and post-hardcore energy; a mirror to a national moment of searching for meaning\/nothing\/sounds\/silence\/creation\/or destruction, through an overarching instability, alienation, decline, and refusal.

He composed pop songs for other artists which sold millions of copies, but his own solo success came after he encountered synthesizers in the early 70s. Viewed as a precursor of New Age sound art, Arduini was one of the first producers in Italy to use the Moog synthesizer and a meeting with Bob Moog in New York only added to this obsession. He was also an early adopter of the tradition among electronic producers to use a moniker to disguise his identity. Il Guardiano Del Faro (translated as 'the guardian of lighthouse') is a nod to the small Italian fishing town Porto Santo Stefano, where Arduini created his studio in the mid-70s. He produced a number of albums from this seaside idyl of electronic instruments and tape recorders, but Oasis stands out from the pack. Released in 1978, it became a cult classic for its experimental sounds and emotional expressions. Spiritual synth sounds cover the album in a dreamy haze, oscilla\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eting between ambient and psychedelic.
