Dr. Strange - Animorph "Musique pour reptiles"

Many ambient works I like from Eno, Aphex Twin to Pete Namlook, Stars of the Lid, Biosphere, Global Communication, etc.

I recently found this music. Totally unknown, but really wonderful ambient (dub) music:

1. Steve Roach - Mystic Chords & Sacred Spaces
More specifically, disc 2 & 3. The holy grail of ambient music. Nothing else comes close. The only artist who could possibly top it is, of course, Roach himself. But he rarely reaches this level (even though most of his stuff is quite good).

2. Michael Stearns - Planetary Unfolding
3. Brian Eno - On Land
4. Steve Roach - The Magnificent Void
5. Tetsu Inoue - Organic Cloud

1. Ambient One - The American Dollar (this has to be one of my favourite albums ever)

You know, that's all that's required. Listen to it, it's incredible :)

In no particular order, and not definitively my top 5, since it would be impossible to do that:

1. Brian Eno/Harold Budd - Ambient 2: The Plateaux of Mirror
2. Boards of Canada - Trans Canada Highway
3. Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Volume II
4. Steve Roach - Midnight Moon
5. Biosphere - Substrata

I also second Memory Shell and World of Sleepers, if we're talking psybient.

My current Top 5:

1. Aphex Twin - ...I Care Because You Do
This album doesn't seem to be getting a lot of love here. SAW II is a terrific album, but "I Care..." has some nice atmospheric tracks, such as Wax the Nip and Alberto Balsalm. And Ventolin can be easily skipped over.

2. Kettel - Volleyed Iron
A quirky, organic headphone trip. It's fun to listen to, as well as to just leave it on as background music.

3. LJ Kruzer - Manhood & Electronics
The track "Ter4" is the closest thing I've had to a religious experience, since I stopped going to church. The rest of the album is nice ambient, chill music.

4. Stars of the Lid - and Their Refinement of the Decline
Just..........sublime.......

5. Marsen Jules - Herbstlaub
If I could summarize this album in just 5 words, they'd be: "Staring-out-the-window music." I love anything this guy puts out, but this album in particular is just amazing.
