Ultimae Records, the unavoidable France-based chill label, is treating us with the reeditions of their famous Fahrenheit Project compilations. Considering the fact that these are still one of the best various-artist editions out there, it's no wonder that they're extremely hard to get a hand on.
I have to admit that some of my favorite and most-memorable tracks originate from these compilations. The whole Ultimae movement is quite admirable, covering everything from production to general web communication. Their releases include artists such as Aes Dana, Asura, Carbon Based Lifeforms, H.U.V.A. Network and Solar Fields. Quite an interesting bunch indeed.
"Since the beginning, we've been developping ambient and trance music (electronica, downtempo, morning trance chill out...). We use the web, ever expanding territory, because we feel it's perfectly in line with our production ie wide and timeless.Ultimae wishes to be a doorway for us all, a space without boundaries for a limitless music..."

So, in case you're still in search of these gems, be sure to get them this time - the complete ambient downtempo and atmospheric collection Fahrenheit Project serie (6 Digipack CDs).
