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.sbs\/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.sbs\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Global+Communication\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGlobal Communication\u003c\/a\u003e, LFO, Move D, Roman Flügel, Richard H.
