I'm new to the forum, and I'm happy to find an active ambient thread.

I'm building a collection of the milestones of the genre - vinyl when I can get it, and FLAC for my archive. And I'm particularly a fan of the Berlin School of ambient electronic music.

All-time favorites include:

• Peter Namlook's FAX +49-69/450464 label and the recent tribute box set
• Gas (Wolfgang Voigt)'s Nah Und Fern LP set
• Klaus Schulze's discography, including the 50-disc Ultimate Edition
(favorites include the debut, Irrlicht and the "X" double LP)
• William Basinski's incredible 9LP + 5CD + DVD Disintegration Loops box set
• Popol Vuh's Hosianna Mantra LP (beautiful neo-classical choral music)
• The Orb's Adventures Beyond, Blue Room EP, and Metallic Spheres with David Gilmour
• Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works Vol II 3LP set
• Pantha Du Prince's glitchy ambient This Bliss LP
• BoC's Music Has the Right to Children 2LP
• Original pressings of KLF's Chill Out and Cauty's Space LP
• and the lesser-known but equally-important Black Swan vinyl-only issued drone LPs

It's honestly refreshing to see users who appreciate and enjoy ambient music. Cheers!
