    Lustmord - Heresy
    Lustmord - The Place Where The Black Stars Hang
    Global Communication – 76:14
    Anton Hughes - Whales of the Pacific
    Aphex Twin – Selected Ambient Works II

  • TERRE THAEMLITZ & BILL LASWELL Web (Subharmonic) 1995
    THOMAS KÖNER Nunatak Gongamur (Barooni) 1990
    ZOVIET FRANCE Just An Illusion (Staalplaat) 1990
    RANCHO RELAXO ALLSTARS Volume 1 - Higiene Mental (Disko B) 1996
    BRIAN ENO Discreet Music (Editions EG) 1975

    PS. CHRISTOPHE CHARLES Undirected 1986-1996 (Mille Plateaux) 1997
    I wasn't able not to violate the border of 5 and include someone who's a sub-influence on everybody who's making ambient music nowadays. Kindred artists also are Tetsu Inoue, Bill Laswell, Thomas Köner, Mick Harris, Brian Lustmord Williams, Robin Storey, Nigel Ayers, Taylor Deupree, certainly, Brian Eno, Christian Fennesz, and some others. Actually the list would be short as real talents are rare, only single human would use his chance to explore and reveal his inner artistical talents. Spend more time in studio and maybe the light of mind/soul would be shed on you...

    Although I think Substrata is overrated it's an excellent list.

    If there's one album that deserves to be in a list such as this one it is Michael Stearns - Planetary Unfolding. If it wasn't relatively unknown, I think it would be in much more top ambient lists.

    So to all ambient fans here, I strongly recommend a headphones-session in bed, playing Michael Stearns - Planetary Unfolding :)

  • Steve Roach-The Magnificent Void
    Lustmord & Robert Rich-Stalker
    Michael Stearns-Encounter
    Cabaret Voltaire-The Conversation(2nd disc)
    Global Communication-76:14



    I was just fixing to post my top 5 and I noticed the same exact thing. Where is Michael Stearns?! Planetary Unfolding is really nice but hard to find. An easier one to track down is Encounter. The Lost World could easily be in my top 5 as well.

  • 2 that are absolutely blowing my mind right now, both by Slow Dancing Society. Its like Brian Eno meets Eluvium. Great, great stuff.

    The Slow and Steady Winter
    The Sound of Lights When Dim

    All really great albums, synthfreek! It's hard to limit it to just 5, isn't it?
