Don't really listen to much ambient, but there's some stuff I really, really like on the list.

 

[theoootini]

good list. my personal fav ambient album is biosphere's substrata. magic.

 

[aoboa]

That's one of the better lists I've seen.

That would be my view also, though I am pretty clueless on ambient.

Didn't realize Carl Craig's Psyche stuff was compiled onto an album.

Music for Airports is not the best ambient album. In fact it is not the best of Eno's Ambient series - That would be "On Land". Music for Airports wouldn't feature in my top 20.

Still good list - although Young Marble Giants has no place in that list.

Yeah - was really hard to find for years. Not sure if it's been reissued. Amazing album.

 

[Wobbler]

The few pieces I know (Crackdown, Galaxy, Chicken Noodle Soup) are up there with his best, in my opinion.

 

[ernesto]

Helios - Eingya. mostly ambient. amazing

Not great albums but these two songs would be on my top 20 ambient tracks maybe


Vangelis Voices- track one ask the mountain featuring Stina Nordestrom

I used to get up put that track on reapeat and listen to it for hours while half awake...

Not an album Ozric Tentacles song Plunrstyle

 

[magicbastarder]

i'm fond of music for babies too.

That Asha Ra Tempel / Manuel Gottsching LP is fucking amazing. Nice to see the Global Communication record get props. Good list.

two amazing albums.

global communication's 14.31 is a stunning track. I remember hearing it for the first time.

Cheers Wobbler, can go and find some of that stuff I didn't know of. Would have stuck Tim Hecker in there somewhere myself but maybe that's not considered 'ambient'?

 

[TTC]

yeah...

 

[jimmybreeze]

Interesting list,I prefer some of the "see also"s to the albums listed though (endless summer,ambient 2,Alina)
Pop is amazing.

94 Diskont should have got at least a "see also"

i don't know what to say as i've never (knowingly) heard any of those albums, but generally not an electronica person anyway
but may have a gander regardless
