Ambient 1: Music for Airports — 1978

The album that named and defined ambient music, designed to be as ignorable as it is interesting. Calm and revolutionary. A genre's foundation. Not their most famous record, but one of their most consistent.

On vinyl: A heavily reissued catalogue — read the remaster reviews before committing to a pressing.
