An Ending (Ascent)
1983 · Editions EG
Ranked No. 1 in Ambient
Four chords, an enormous amount of room around them, and more emotional weight than most symphonies manage. It has soundtracked moon landings and funerals alike, and earns both.

An Ending (Ascent)
1983 · Editions EG
Picked by The Waxonia Desk — A Way In
Four chords and an enormous amount of room around them. The best argument that ambient music is composition rather than absence, and the easiest one to hear on first listen.

An Ending (Ascent)
1983 · Editions EG
Picked by The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred
Four minutes that have been used to sell everything and still cannot be cheapened. The purest demonstration that music can be a place rather than an event.
