'Space Daze'(Cleopatra) Varioua Artists
As long as this 2-CD release has been out, I couldn't believe that no one had ever reviewed it before. 'Space Daze' is a decent 2-CD retrospect that is mainly for 'new patrons' who might need a proper introduction to the field of electronic, ambient, space rock and underground progressive music. Also might serve the purpose of giving a nifty piece of classic and some more recent recordings of the featured artists to an old school fan of such genres. A couple of the tracks on here, for example drew me to the original disc to where the tune was culled from, like Delerium's "Dark Matter", I went out and purchased the CD. Same with Pressurehed's "Silver Bird" and The Orb's "Blue Room". Other works I found enlightening include Hawkwind's B-side "Adjust Me", Ozric's "Sploosh", Spiral Realm's "Elements" and Coil's "Nasa Arab". Very nice to pull out and listen to now and then. Great cover, don't you think?
