I like this idea. And theres no cap for how many albums we can put forward..?
Either way this would likely be the one i would choose if that's all i got

22. In den Garten Pharoas by Popol Vuh (1971)

I really cant put how this album makes me feel into words, or atleast to do it any kind of justice. It's pure spirituality. The first track is breathing, or living. Splashing water, tribal drums, the serene and almost spacey synth. Towards the end of it, it sounds like drugged elevator music, but it really does give the feel of laying in a lush garden. Just being.

The second track is almost the complete opposite. Dying. A bellowing church organ plays through. A crash of cymbals here, a distant chant there, Vuh is probably the most intense piece of music that I have ever heard. And it just keeps building and building as the drums come back. God, I actually feel like I'm spoiling the album by describing it.

It's life and death in one record. Music for finding inner peace. Just listen to it dum dums.
