AMG Review of Megasoft Office '97

Tom Schulte
All Music Guide

A compilation of European relaxed beat dance music. Ready Made stand out with their sequences pieces of acoustic guitar and #Dr. Who-like ambient space beats on "Saulbass Theme." Getting away from techno of any kind Elisa Carraha emotes a ballad entitled "Bewildered" to the sounds of a piano and some synth. More ambient sounds, much with good use of light piano and acoustic guitar sequences, are on this disc courtesy of Feedback, Chaotik Ramses, Aqua Bassino, A Reminescent Drive, and Juantrip'. Chipie is an imprint on the Tinder Records label to explore ambient groove-makers. U.S. based Chipie plans on developing talent on this side of the Atlantic in the future.
