As we know, there are lots of loops in ambient music, so here a few Top 10 listings of ambient music. If one of these names is new to you, maybe seeing if on three different top ten lists is a good recommendation? I'll be checking out Erik Satie, as I've always discribed my music as a theater set. Kinda like a stage with furniture on it in which the listener is invited to create their own story by choosing to notice whichever musical elements they care to use. I found these at http://www.fog.com/~erich/HA/index.html David Kirkdorffer I suppose we all have top ten lists in the end. These are the ten pieces/ albums which I consider to be fundamental works in ambient soundscapes. (I tried to list them chronologically) 1.Erik Satie, Musique de ameublement (Furniture Music) 2.John Cage, Imaginary Landscapes #1 3.John Cage, 4:33 4.Tangerine Dream, Electronic Meditation 5.Steve Hillage, Rainbow Dome Muzik 6.Brian Eno, Music for Airports & Music for Films 7.The Orb, Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld 8.Mixmaster Morris, Flying High 9.Aphex Twin, Selected Ambient Works I&II 10.Pete Namlook, Air I&II ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *#1 Here's a list from ambient@umich.edu 1.Music to Films/ FAX 2.Briano Eno/ Thursday Afternoon/ EG 3.Mission into Drums/ Planet Earth 4.Soul Whirling Somewhere/ Eating The Sea/ Projekt 5.Aphex Twin/ Sel.
