Was wondering when someone was going to nominate "And Their Refinement of the Decline," groovypanda. Glad someone nominated it— it's my favorite of theirs.
Also, you nominated Plume, so I had to go with Endless Falls, which is my second favorite of his records.

I think I'll actually retract Rainbow Mirror. it has too many dissonant moments even though a decent chunk of its runtime is ambient. anyways...

Pavilion of Dreams is probably my favorite album ever and I kinda want to nominate it, but it could never be background music in my household. You gotta crank Harold Budd imo

I have no idea how I’m going to sort out the top 10 or so. A lot of these albums, already mentioned, are among my all-time faves. Also very excited to wade through some of the lesser known stuff. Tuomas’ nomnoms for the <2 min poll were really great, and I’m pumped to check out his ambient selections

On the one hand, I think brimstead is right to raise questions about what 'ambient' means with regards to a lot of these albums. On the other hand, a lot of music I really love is being included so it's going to be a great list, whatever we call it.

Maybe not:
David Lynch & Alan Splet - Eraserhead soundtrack- If you could cut out the scary bits and keep the industrial hiss and distant Fats Waller
Laurie Anderson - United States Live- Too many non-ambient pieces across the four discs to qualify as a whole, but 23 out of the 78 tracks are on my sleepytime/ambient playlist. That voice talking is probably the closest I get to an ASMR trigger.
