Journal

This is going to be an alphabetical list of ambient albums, that I consider really notable and evocative. Special, if you want. There will be well-known musicians on the list, and obscure as well. Subgenres and near genres, such as post-rock, drone, modern classical etc. are also included. Constant update.

Jelikož byl dvatisícejedenáctej rokem islandským (!!!) přichází (konečně) i solo sumář TOP islandských počinů. Je to vlastně i sumář všeho islandskýho nebo aspoň Islandem načuchlýho co jsem za loni (resp. víceméně po návratu z tohohle fantastickýho ostrova) slyšel. Tak jedem, odzvrchu dolů....
