On second thought, I agree that it might not be a good idea to be too spooked on this space dock, because I can't afford to go psychotic if I'm there for a long time. I'll need to be comfortable. So instead I pick
Global Communication -- 76:14
Gas -- Konigsforst
Eno -- Music For Airports

Yes, vahid, Vainqueur "Elevations" is one of the greatest albums ever, but I just wouldn't want it with me on the spacedock, for the reasons explained above.

Hang on, why is the spacedock abandoned? I need to know this to make my selection.

too obvious :

Sleep Research Facility : Nostromo
Eduard Artemiev : Solaris
SETI : Knowledge

actual top three :

Klaus Schulze : Body Love
Thomas Köner : Kaamos
Troum / Yen Pox : Mnemonic Induction

three not-so-ambient records to cheer me up :

Polmo Polpo : The Science of Breath
Christian Bruhn : Captain Future OST
Lee Perry : Arkology

seven years pass...

1. Jonn Serrie - The Sentinel (deployed to clear out a heretofore inhabited space dock. any reasonable person would rather boil to death in the vacuum of space than endure 60 minutes of texturally unengaging "music of the spheres" nonsense)

2. Tholen - Sternklang

3. SETI
(Taylor Deupree's project, not the British S.E.T.I. mentioned upthread)
