Here's a chart and a couple others I'll post in a min that I found a while back. I don't remember that Ulver album being remotely ambient though, but maybe I'm misremembering.

Also I only started getting into ambient recently too and what got me into it was Brian Eno's (and others') Apollo.

Pitchfork posted a top 50 ambient albums recently. It'd be a good starting point, has a lot of the "essentials" on it
>pitchfork

>>73249557
Jesus this is garbage, half of the essentials aren't even ambient

whoever made this has a very broad interpretation of genres

Do you actually know what ambient music is? The majority of your recommendations are ambient techno, ambient pop and IDM albums.

>>73249881
Hardy. Like I said, I've only just gotten into the genre and haven't heard almost any of the albums, so I just posted what I had. Please forgive me if I've accidentally sent you into an autistic rage.

Try reason 333 by the meme friends.

So, don't give out recommendations then?

>>73250238
They're not recommendations dumbfuck, they're charts.
"If there's a chart, I'd be thankful."
I got them right from the wiki.
Sorry I haven't listened to every album to double check that it's perfect. And again, sorry I've upset you so badly.

someone calling you out for posting bad, misleading charts isn't autistic for calling you out

>>73250450
Why are you so mad? I'm only trying to help people realize that ambient techno, ambient pop and IDM isn't the best "ambient" music has to offer. This is a good list:

what the fuck am i looking at

>>73248680
Read the fucking sticky stupid redditor

Lightwave - Mundus Subterraneus

I am easily confused (save the snark) by all the labels...what exactly is "ambient" ? Is the Orb ambient? Is Steve Roach ambient?

Seems some ambient is just aimless space music while other has a very low key beat and/or repeating measures...

I used to listen to this show a lot- is it ambient?
