Air Liquide: Sonic Weather Machine
Lots of dubbed out acid and also some four to the floor belters... I particularly like Breaking The Surface Barrier. Enjoy.

Air Liquide: Neue Frankfurter Elektronik Schule 1991
An album in a class of its own; typically in the Air Liquide style, they layer 303's with futuristic soundscapes which are interspersed with radio static. A lot of it seems like a dream... An ambient techno album that possibly didn't receive the recognition it deserved.
Sleeparchive: Infrared Glow EP
I've put this EP up because it's the only one that hasn't been given a digital release. Apparently it isn't produced by Roger Semsroth, but by a friend who remains anonymous. There are rumors that it is Torsten Pröfrock, not sure if that's true or not.

Deep Space Network: Big Rooms
Venture into deep sapace. This and the album they did with the Higher Intelligence Agency are sublime excursions into ambient techno.

Neutron 9000: Lady Burning Sky
Another classic ambient release on Rising High Records. One of my favourite band names of all time is 473 Small Green People With Pointy Heads! Which was Dominic Woosey of Neutron 9000 fame.

Universal Indicator: Universal Indicator Green
It's all about the red one, but this still has some belting tracks. Grab it here, converted from WAV to 320Kbps MP3.
Universal Indicator: Universal Indicator Red
Some killer raw acid here, I think this and the others in the series often appear on the internet, but this rip has been converted from WAV to 320Kbps MP3.
Radiowaves: Radiowaves
Radiowaves is a vastly underrated ambient acid techno album, written by Dr Walker of Air Liquide fame, and Can Oral the brother of Cem Oral (the other half of Air Liquide).
The Orb: Assassin
Two disc EP that came with a 'Don't Leave Earth Without One' window sticker. The Chocolate Hills Of Bohol Mix samples the intro to KlingKlang by Kraftwerk.

Dan Shoebridge: No Life On Mars
Whilst ripping this CD I surfed around to see if I could grab some more mixes from Dan Shoebridge but his web site is no longer. A great shame. Here is a mix he did called No Life On Mars a fantastic mix where he manages to convey the icy sparse quietness that is Mars.
The only other mix I have by him is A Connected Reality which is a real journey (art work is below), if you want to stream it online then it is still available here.

MLO: Io
Beautiful ambient album from MLO... I really rate this record, up there with the ambient greats; vastly underrated work IMO. Grab it here.
New London School Of Electronics: The Deepest Cut
Now here's a cracking little ambient gem that I've just blown the dust off. It's a shame Caspar and Laurence didn't do much else under this moniker. The album has a nice flow to it with some mystery and spattering of abstractness about it.
Electronic Dub: Electronic Dub
What an album! Air Liquide join up with Caspar Pound to bring us some high quality ambient acid dub, released in 1994 but still sounding fresh to my ears 18 years down the line.

Mixmaster Morris & Jonah Sharp: Quiet Logic
I can't believe this isn't available commercially anywhere! & I can't find a 320Kbps rip of it for love or money! What an album! Get a 192Kbps rip of it here.
Mosaik: Leandi
I heard of this EP via Mixmaster Morris when he posted on Facebook about being kicked off his DJ set for playing the title track! It's a beautiful EP and available as a free download in MP3 or FLAC from Soft Phase net label.
Labels:
ambient,
electronica,
idm,
leandi,
mosaik,
soft phase
Phillip Wilkerson: Sun Tracer
It's all about space! Some lush melodies here and available as a free download from Earth Mantra net label (direct link to download album is here).
LJ Kruzer: Tam Variations
Really nice little EP available as a free download, it has lots of variations of the Tam track from Manhood & Electronics on the Uncharted Audio label. Here is a video of the original track:

Regolith: Sap Rising
Pretty dark stuff here but what an awesome effort from the lads that are Regolith! Open spaciousness with some beautifully sparse melodies... This was originally released on the late but great Myuzyk label, and came with a lovely print by Nebo Peklo.
The Irresistible Force: Underground EP
This EP is a bit of a mixture, for me the tracks Flow Motion, Underground (Ambient Mix) & Space Is The Place (Instrumental Mix) are the best ones; the latter two are superb IMO.
Barbarella: Barbarella
The Fires Of Ork: The Fires Of Ork
Space: Space
Another ambient classic that is probably all over the internet in varying bit rates, here it is chilled at 320Kbps
Daniel Pemberton: Bedroom
Very impressive ambience from Daniel Pemberton, all made with minimal equipment. This album still gets a lot of air time :)
The KLF: Chill Out
I'm sure this is widely available all over the internet, but here it is anyway, someone did some remixing of the album, here is a 128Kbps rip!
The Orb: The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld - Patterns & Textures Version
FM3: Mort Aux Vaches
Air Liquide: Nephology - The New Religion
A very trippy ambient techno album from Air Liquide, my second Rising High Records purchase... there is another version on Blue with a different track list, art work below.

Chill Out Or Die IV
Chill Out Or Die III
Love the cover on this, like one of those masks some folk have on their sitting room wall! Quite spooky. Here's a nice rip at 320Kbps.
Chill Out Or Die II
Chill Out Or Die!
A nice introduction to the ambient side of Rising High Records... This compilation is mixed by non other than Mixmaster Morris, AKA The Irresistible Force. One of my all time favourite ambient albums. Get it whilst it's chilled at 320Kbps!
