I'm fairly new to Ambient music, I'll admit. I only have a modest sized collection. This CD is an excellent collection of great Ambient music. This is a cool series of CDs. I'd recommend buying this CD before the first one, since tracks 1,2, and 5 on the first CD do not really fit well with the other tracks. However, all of the tracks on this second volume fit together perfectly. Based off of the first two CDs, I'm likely to buy the third.
