Looking for recommendations in the ambient genre.

My favorites are (in no particular order):

  • Brian Eno - Mixing Colours
  • C418 - Minecraft Volume Alpha
  • Jon Hopkins - Music for Psychedelic Therapy
  • The KLF - Chill Out
  • Experialist - Excessive Refinement
  • Biosphere - Substrata

What are your favorite ambient albums?

Anything Boards of Canada is good, but I find their A Few Old Tunes have a particularly good ambient feel.
A Few Old Tunes Vol. 1

A Few Old Tunes Vol. 2

Iirc these might not actually be authentic. The real cassettes were only given to friends and family and there is a long history of fakes being spread online. I hope we will someday get the real deal like with the obscure first GYBE tape.

I didn't realize that! I'll keep listening because they're nice mixes, but darn.
