Why it's here
Untitled, imageless, allegedly from lucid dreams; the strangest famous record here
Selected Ambient Works Volume II is the strangest famous record here: untitled, imageless, supposedly transcribed from lucid dreams, a masterpiece that grants ambient permission to be genuinely alien rather than merely pretty. Its shadow falls across drone, hauntology and a whole wing of experimental ambient. It sits at fifteen rather than higher because it asks a patience the top ten don't.
