Best ambient albums

[res0nat0r]

Listening to the FSOL post reminded me how much I like ambient music. I started listening to this stuff before I ever got into any type of DJ related music.

Here are some of my favs, anyone else have anything new that is good? I havent been keeping up for a while on new releases, here are some classics:


All time fav is: woob - 1194:




Global Communication - 76:14



Lull - Moments:





This cd is great. It consists of 99 tracks, it sounds like if you were in one of those sleep chambers from Alien floating thru space.

The KLF - Chill Out:




Vidna Obmana - Crossing The Trail:




Biosphere - Substrata:




Pretty much all of Pete Namlooks stuff and the FAX +49-69/450464 label.

I'm a big Tangerine Dream fan, most of their stuff isn't ambient, but their true ambient stuff is great.

"Falling Dark 3" from Hearts of Space is one of my favorite ambient radio programs. Along with a few others from 96-97.

Vidna Obmana is great. Robert Rich is another king.

Above all the complete Orb discography, but the compils of Supperclub are very good too. More loungy than really ambient, but still. Check it out at http://www.supperclub.com/ninesins/
