"As long as this 2-CD release has been out,I couldn't believe that no one had ever reviewed it before.'Space Daze' is a decent 2-CD retrospect that is mainly for 'new patrons' who might need a proper introduction to the field of electronic,ambient,space rock and underground progressive music.Also might serve the purpose of giving a nifty piece of classic and some more recent recordings of the featured artists to an old school fan of such genres.A couple of the tracks on here,for example drew me to the original disc to where the tune was culled from,like Delerium's "Dark Matter",I went out and purchased the CD.Same with Pressurehed's "Silver Bird" and The Orb's "Blue Room".Other works I found enlightening include Hawkwind's B-side "Adjust Me",Ozric's "Sploosh",Spiral Realm's "Elements" and Coil's "Nasa Arab".Very nice to pull out and listen to now and then.Great cover,don't you think?"
