Brian Eno – Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks (1983)
Perhaps the most heralded pioneer of ambient music, Brian Eno reshaped the listening experience, crafting compositions as immersive as they are meditative. Originally composed for a documentary about the moon landings, Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks combines shimmering synths and pedal steel guitar to evoke the strangely parallel experiences of exploring the vast universe, and gazing at our inward thoughts. It’s the perfect record for late-night stargazing, meditation, or simply unwinding after a long day.

Labradford – Labradford (1996)
This self-titled release from Labradford is a masterclass in restrained minimalism. With dark and hazy drones, quiet guitar work, and deep, resonant synths, the album is also an influence in the post-rock genre. It all plays out like a slow-moving dream, dissolving all sense of time. An ideal LP for moments when you need to slow down and decompress.
Moby – Ambient (1993)
This record stands as a testament to Moby’s versatility and forward-thinking approach in the electronic music scene of the early ‘90s. More rhythmic and danceable than traditional ambient albums, this album incorporates techno style beats, allowing listeners to get lost in its hypnotic flow.
Suzanne Ciani & Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith – FRKWYS Vol. 13 - Sunergy (Expanded) (2016)
A mesmerizing collaboration between two electronic music innovators, this record is a fluid exploration of modular synthesis. The three expansive tracks that comprise this album are filled with bubbling, cascading synths that ebb and flow like ocean waves, enhanced by spatial panning effects. Calm, yet full of motion, this record is an ideal listen for early mornings, setting an intention for the day, or simply tuning into the beauty of the present moment.
