Albums in Ambient
Description
Although Brian Eno's 1975 album Discreet Music is often acknowledged as the seminal ambient electronic album, ambient music evolved from experimental classical works created long before Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk issued their first albums. Artists like Aphex Twin and the Orb who emerged from England's late '80s acid house scene embraced the beatless rhythms and complex textures of ambient music, offering an alternative to electronic music fans who sought refuge from the dance-floor. Current artists who dabble with ambient music like Future Sound of London and Air are as likely to indulge in progressive rock excesses as they to experiment with ambient sounds and textures.
