This might be the wrong thread to post this, but I was leafing through the replies and noticed somebody mentioned 'Talk Talk'.
Their album 'Spirit of Eden' is outstanding. To quote allmusic
"...exchanging electronics for live, organic sounds and rejecting structure in favor of mood and atmosphere, the album is an unprecedented breakthrough, a musical and emotional catharsis of immense power. Mark Hollis' songs exist far outside of the pop idiom, drawing instead on ambient textures, jazz-like arrangements, and avant-garde accents..."
I also noticed Mark Hollis' name mentioned previously, so this may be old news, but I thought it important to bring this album to light for people who dig the emotional and ethereal qualities of music.
