Released in 1996, The Instrumental Collection (31 Works, Evolution 1986–1996) is a stunning 2-CD anthology that encapsulates a decade of evolution in New Age, ambient, and instrumental music. Featuring 31 carefully selected tracks, this collection serves as both an introduction for newcomers and a nostalgic journey for longtime fans of the genre.

Spanning a diverse palette of sounds and moods, the compilation features world-renowned artists such as Ottmar Liebert, Cusco, Craig Chaquico, Shahin & Sepehr, and Himekami. CD1 opens with Liebert’s flamenco-inspired “Santa Fe,” instantly setting a warm, soulful tone. The seamless transition to Yulara’s “Namah Shivaya” introduces a mystical, spiritual ambiance, blending Eastern rhythms with atmospheric textures. Cusco’s contributions—“Flying Condor” and “Montezuma”—add cinematic flair with Andean influences, while Craig Chaquico’s “Native Tongue” and “Sweet Talk” bring smooth, guitar-driven serenity.

CD2 continues the sonic voyage with standout pieces like Chaquico’s contemplative “Sacred Ground” and Shahin & Sepehr’s sensuous “Yasmine.” Eko, Deuter, and Karunesh contribute dreamlike compositions rich in synthesizer layers and nature-inspired melodies. “Coral Blue” by William Aura and “Flowers of the Amazon” by Deuter offer meditative depth, ideal for relaxation or reflection.

The variety within this collection is one of its greatest strengths. Whether you're drawn to Latin guitar, electronic ambient soundscapes, or nature-themed tranquility, there’s something here for every mood. With exceptional production and flow between tracks, The Instrumental Collection is a timeless compilation that reflects the rich diversity and emotional resonance of instrumental music from the late 20th century. A must-have for collectors and ambient music lovers alike.
