I always loved ATMOSPHERIC albums; my all-time favorite one, because I believe almost nobody can make a more modern atmospheric album like that, is definitely david helpling - sleeping on the edge of the world. it is easy for me to produce a list of albums i consider EXTREMELY atmospheric: prog: 1-pink floyd - a momentary lapse of reason 2-vangelis - mask 3-eddie jobson - theme of secrets 4-pink floyd - the division bell 5-IQ - subterranea 6-collage - moonshine
non prog: 1-Jon Jenkins - flow 2-David helpling - sleeping on the edge of the world 3-michael stearns - planetary unfolding 4-mark isham - castalia 5-yanni - keys to imagination 6- patrick o'hearn - rivers gonna rise
I'm sure I forget many ones!! ------------- [HEADPINS - LINE OF FIRE: THE RECORD HAVING THE MOST POWERFUL GUITAR SOUND IN THE WHOLE HISTORY OF MUSIC!> |

Genesis is one of my favorite bands, but when it comes to "atmospheric", I'm more inclined to think of Pink Floyd and Vangelis. The main question is: what is "atmospheric"? I get associations with spacey music, not hard rocking but more quiet, open music. I guess it's a confusing word. Having said that, my top 3: 1. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here 2. Vangelis - Antarctica 3. TD - Rubycon |

After Crying - Megalázottak és Megszomorítottak Such drama! Mike Oldfield - Ommadawn Could've picked any one of his first few albums, but for me this is the cream of the crop. Magma - MDK Moodier than a chained-up bull that's had its teddy bear stolen. Henry Cow - Unrest Unsettling, more like! I love it. Hatfield & The North - Self-titled Beautiful melodies and muddled jazz wrapped up in a warm, mildly eccentric package that's ideal for late night headphone sessions. Marvellous. 5 very different albums that creat 5 very different atmospheres in expert fashion. |

Meddle, Dark Side, Wywh and Animals are all tremedously good as ''Atmospheric'' works ( and not only ). Oddly enough, Lark's Tongues in Aspic is pretty atmospheric to me, as well... Tubular Bells, of course. ...Opeth, Damnation? It's atmospheric as hell, if what you want is a moody, dark atmosphere instead of the usual dreamy psychedelic one. I can't really remember any more, but I'm willing to bet my left thumb that there's a load more I could mention. |
