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.

Aaaand last one, just 2000s ambient.

see ambient, drone and progressive electronic in pic related

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

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

>b.o.c.
>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.

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?

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

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

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?
