the best pitchfork list to date. lot of disagreeable stuff but there's a lot of great obscure stuff. if you disagree with this you've never heard the obscure stuff. if you get butthurt about the ranking you don't understand how listmaking works. like of course ambient 1 would be #1.

pretty good desu. p4k can be cunts but their lists are usually on point

Top five is solid, I'd just move Ambient 1 down to third and slide 97diskont up to fourth

This is pretty good actually

Nope. I won't

what's going on

and what have you done with my Cred Forums

I'm listening to my Evening Star vinyl while lmaoing at the list

fundamentally we can only meme so hard but at a certain point you simply have to admit p4k has their shit together and have good taste

bait

that keith fullerton whitman intro is really good too

Ok, I'll start.
It's genuinely insulting and shows a flagrant disregard to their art and brilliance to call music by composers like La Monte Young, Eliane Radigue and Pauline Oliveros ambient

well what would you classify them as?

>not ONE Robert Rich album here

you're kidding me, he's the greatest ambient artist of all time

yeah I don't really have a problem with this list at all

Predictable rankings inflated for mundane artists (SAWII at number 2???) and questionable use of the term ambient for some albums (if Alice Coltrane is technically ambient, Miles Davis' "In a Silent Way" should be too.)

Overall a nice survey. Just not a nice list by rank.

I wouldn't regard much of what Young has done as ambient. It's minimalist, but not ambient.

Yeah this is the main bullshit bit, Rich deserves to have at least one or two records up there.

what's a good rec? I'm about to download everything from the list that I don't have

Rainbow in Curved Air is ambient?

Some reason I don't imagine any of those critics being into Robert Rich.

Somnium and that album with Lustmord.

huh, guess I already have that somehow. Gotta scope

I don't want to give them clickbucks, someone post the whole list on pastebin.

>Ambient 3 above Ambient 2 which isn't even on the list
Nope

get out
