This is a good list, I agree with the great part of it. But it's also made by just one person, so of course it's quite subjective and not everybody will agree with the choices. In the end I think we cannot universally agree on top 25, but we can all agree that Kraftwerk was the most important electronic music band ever. |
I agree.
Without a system to make this list we will never agree. I think we even wouldn't agree on the system used to make the list. |

do you really think namlook should be on that list? his works define mediocrity. i never knew how dull and uninspiring ambient can sound until i discovered namlook's label. granted, his older stuff from the early 90s showed some gleams of ingenuity on his part, but now he churns out generic crap at a breakneck speed. it's like he's not even trying anymore. |

Yeah, even though he's awfully mediocre sometimes (especially lately), he's undeniably the first name of ambient in my book. The guy made so many classics it's not even funny (not all of them are pure ambient though):
Air (I & II)
Namlook (I & II)
Syn
and especially his collabs with:
Mixmaster Morris (Dreamfish)
Klaus Schulze (Dark Side Of The Moog)
Move D (even the newer ones are great)
Biosphere (The Fires Of Ork)
M. Maurice (4Voice)
....
In terms of quality neither one of his god knows how many albums touches SAWII, Substrata or Three Organic Experiences IMO, but he made a lot of awesome music and I respect him very much. |

| nothing at all comes close to SAWII. it's pretty much in a league of its own. |

Air. 10,000 Hz Legend cannot be denied, I fell in love with it again the other day.
Or whoever came up with the intro to Everything In It's Right Place. Simply beautiful, and I hate Kid A. |
