Best 100 ambient releases

Ambient music is a genre of music that is characterized by its atmospheric and abstract soundscapes, often without a distinct beat or rhythm. It is designed to create a specific mood or atmosphere, and is often used as background music for relaxation, meditation, or other activities.

Ambient music can be created using a variety of instruments and sound sources, including synthesizers, field recordings, and found sounds. It often incorporates elements of other genres such as electronic, classical, and world music, and may be accompanied by visual elements such as projections or light shows during live performances. Some notable ambient musicians include Brian Eno, Steve Roach, and Tangerine Dream.
