Accident in Paradise is the debut album of DJ and producer Sven V th. It was originally released in 1992 by Eye-Q, a German record label that Vath co-founded. A re-release in 1993 featured two bonus tracks. A remix CD was also released in 1993, featuring remixes by Spicelab, DJ Spooky and William Orbit. In 1995 Mixmag rated An Accident in Paradise one of the top-50 dance albums of all time. The most popular songs on the album are the title track and "L'Esperanza," which were both played in clubs during the 1990s and were remixed several times. Although "L'Esperanza" and the title track are both fast techno pieces, several other songs are far more sedate, as V th experimented with a variety of ambient and ethnic sounds. For instance, "Merry-Go-Round Somewhere" is an entirely ambient piece of merry-go-round sounds. The track "Sleeping Invention" features sounds of the deep forest accompanied with bass drums and harpsichord. The track "Coda" is especially minimalist, using only a flute and a harpsichord.
