Swiss housers Drumpoet Community gather their crew together for a deep dancing affair on the label's second compilation. With high production values and a reverent respect for the generation of producers like Larry Heard, Ron Trent and Chez Damier before them, Drumpoet Community has played a crucial role in the rise of nu-Deep House in recent years, providing a base for figures like Manuel Tur, John Daly and Quarion to roll out their ultra-smooth house tributes. For 'Verse 2' expect deeply burnished and heavyweight house from Hunee's 'Took My Love' to The Lost Men (aka label head Alex Dallas with Bernd Kunz) on 'More Of That', Soultourist's well-toned dancer 'Fo-Eva', John Daly's excellent highlight 'Lonely Beat', and more from Quarion, Cavalier, Langenberg, Azuni and Crowdpleaser.

Label: Apollo
Year: 1993
Styles: Ambient Techno, Experimental Techno, IDM


Review: (Allmusic.com)

Selected Ambient Works 85-92 is a desperately sparse album: thin percussion and several haunted-synth lines are the only components on most songs, and Richard D. James added only one vocal sample on the entire album ("We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams"). Also, the sound quality is relatively poor; it was recorded direct to cassette tape and reportedly suffered a mangling job by a cat. All this belies the status of Selected Ambient Works 85-92 as a watershed of ambient music. It reveals no influences and sounds unlike anything that preceded it, due in large part to the effects James managed to wrangle from his supply of home-manufactured contraptions.
