On 24 Sep 1994, Sean Smith asked the Ambient Music Mailing List:
Would any of you care to give me a Top 10 of the all-time greatest ambient CDs for any collection? I thought, with such a conglomeration of people who love what i love, I'm bound to get some great recommendations for stuff I don't have.
In the interest of introducing newcomers to ambient, and providing suggestions for further investigations, I've collected all of the top-10 ambient album lists presented in response to Sean's request, and organized them by the number of votes each album has received thus far (up to Sep 1996). This is the last update I will provide, but stay tuned in the future for a "Most overrated/underated ambient" poll.
The most recent list is generally available at the excellent ambient archives at http://music.hyperreal.org/epsilon/. The dedicated volunteers at this site also run the Ambient Music mailing list, where you can meet the many knowledgeable fans who've contributed these recommendations. To join, mail a blank message to [email protected], or [email protected] if you prefer to receive the list mail in periodic digest format. Drumroll please...
