Christaal - Mystic Traveler (1987) [Folk / Ambient / New Age]
Some of the most gorgeous music ever...even if the guy behind it, Apollo, is a freaky half-Cherokee self proclaimed psychic. Crazy or not, he's got an ear for this stuff. The atmosphere conjured is not too far removed from the best soundtrack work in games like the Elder Scrolls series or something out of a dark fantasy. Basically, top-tier New Age with lots of flute and orchestral beauty to spare.
