Description

The best attempts at producing high quality ambient music--Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works 85-92, or the KLF's Chill Out--are the results of an eclectic, adventurous mind. But while it's true that Chilled Euphoria boasts a laudably diverse selection--everything from ambient grandaddy Brian Eno's "Music For Airports (Ambient 1)" to an alternative cut of trance dullard Chicane's "Saltwater"--there's a presiding feeling that this is less because of brave choices, more because of uncomfortable compromises. Mixed by Red Jerry, the house-spinning head-honcho of London-based Hooj records, this surelymore… should be a compilation that knows its oats, but all too often, the big names--Moby, Primal Screa, and, uh, Moby again--are hammered in like square pegs into round holes. Still, when it works, it undoubtedly work --see the beatless mix of "Smokebelch II" by Sabres Of Paradise, or the ever-reliable Underworld, contributing the mood-defining "Second Hand". --Louis Pattison
