Ahead of Our Time, the other label Coldcut run alongside the ever-fantastic (in fact, never been better than it is right now) Ninja Tune, takes a dash of its sister imprint's artist roster, drafts a fine selection of external talent from the drone and ambient world, and unleashes an epic 29 track journey into the spiritual end of electronic music. Then caps it all off by hiring none other than chill legend Mixmaster Morris to put the lot together into one seamless set (available on the DL you get for nothing with the physical compilation).

A project of huge proportions, there are some very familiar names here to anyone with a penchant for contemplative ambience-creating tunes - Julianna Barwick, Sigur Los, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Suzanne Ciani, to list but a few. Perhaps the most exciting part of this delightful aural sedative, though, is the inclusion of heads more associated with pounding club adventures, for example Helena Hauff. Oh, and did we mention every tune has been made for this collection?
