    Is it wanky to say this album gives "spiritual experience"? I've sat in a field in Oxfordshire looking at the stars to this.

      I was in the army in 1994. We were having "gines" for whole weekend. It was lazy Sunday afternoon after lunch. I was little tired of yesterday exercises we had, so I was laying on my bed. I was somewhere in the state between of awake and asleep having somekind of nice dreams. Ambient music was playing and I felt like I was in a trance. Finally I woke up totally when I heard "wake up, wake up, wake up" and I saw my roommate playing nice ambient music. It was this album. It was perfect music for the moment. The sample of "wake up" was in the beginning of track 6. My imagination added music into my dreams.

      Later I had to buy this one. This must be one of the best ambient albums ever created. It has it all.
