Review: 'Tranquilizer' first came about in 1994 as a one-off EP released via Instinct Ambient, a sublabel of Instinct Records active until 1997. But Terre Thaemlitz isn't one to settle on just one iteration of her craft; so now the record comes reissued and repackaged as 'Tranquilizer 2', making up for what the artist - in a signature spell of charming cantankery - reveals was a "cliche" unfair record deal. Add to this that the grid of pillows on the original front cover misled its Japanese audience into thinking they were bags of heroin, resulting in no end of sordid misunderstandings, as was characteristic of the 90s. With no distributor in tow, Thaemlitz regales the romantic tale of toting copies of the CD at record shops, where in which only a fraction were sold under "sale-or-return" consignment policies, the reality being that few record shops actually ever realised their promises. Unfair indeed, for the music on this serene classic is like no other, with Thaemlitz's trademark ambient house stasises spanning everything from monologuing dream analyses ('Hovering Glows') to mockingly farcical, but no less captivating, pastiches of "ethno-ambient" ('Fat Chair').
