Shpongle - Are You Shpongled?, 1998

I'd claim this is my top electronic album ever. A lot going for it making it even more unique though Shpongle would get admittedly whackier afterward. It's definitely their chillest, which I appreciate. Heavy ambient vibes that morph seamlessly around a lot of eclectic influences. Absolutely enthralling piece of trance music with an atmosphere to match the cover.

Weakling - Dead as Dreams, 2000

My favorite black metal album hands down. Every single black metalism is executed to perfection. It's grandiose, hypnotic, progressive, atmospheric, melancholic, triumphant, blistering and huge. Ought to be the black metal archetype.

Two Lone Swordsmen - From the Double Gone Chapel, 2004

So obviously I was gonna listen to this when I saw that name, and I did and something special happened. This isn't very representative of their body of work, mostly ambient IDM up until this album, and it's also not my favorite but I still cherish it. This goes into damp post punk territory combined with the atmospherics of their earlier work and a dubby dance punk sensibility. The bassline in this particular track is one of my best friends.

Vault Dweller - Messenger of Doom, 2009

Didn't even know about Dystopia before I fell in love with Vault Dweller's apocalyptically grooving sludge metal.

Stars of the Lid - The Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid, 2001

no word short of heavenly can describe this album. Everything about this is aural magic, and perplexingly intense as if constructed by angels. It won't take you to a new world, but rather paint itself over the canvas of the real world, where two elements synergize together and remind you that this is what's real, and that it is beautiful.

I can't listen to it very often. This album is like an event.

Amorphis - The Karelian Isthmus, 1992

I don't care what anyone says cuz this album is SO sick. It's not hated, not at all, but really underappreciated especially within the Amorphis discography, written off as plain old death metal. But people are retarded and it's one most kick ass albums out there.

Masonna - Spectrum Ripper, 1997

The first noise album I listened to in full and a good idea of this particular chaotic brand. Contrary to popular belief my life does not revolve around noise and I really don't listen to it all that often, but I like generic stuff like this when it's spastic and relentless with the timbres somehow making it sound all over the place when it's also still monotonous.

Gas - Pop, 2000

And now this one is the first ambient album I listened to in full. It's shimmering and lush and sounds like the album cover.

Melvins - Stoner Witch, 1994

My favorite metal album from one of my favorite metal bands. This album cover has occupied a small plot of my brainspace for as long as I can remember, and the metal music held therein has had residence alongside it. Genres fluctuate in this metal album which is always a cool thing that happens in metal. Metal tracks like Revolve raised me like parents. Great metal album for fans of metal.
