| | Great Ambient Albums 2013 | | 1 |  | Dirty Beaches
Drifters/Love Is the Devil
The second half of Dirty Beaches' brilliant double album ("Love Is the Devil") contains
almost all the ambient music - it's mesmerizing and much stronger than the first half.
Dirty Beaches also released the Water Park OST this year, which is very different but
also a strong work. | | 2 | | Slow Walkers
Slow Walkers
The ghostly, fascinating result of a collaboration between Grouper's Liz Harris and
Australian composer Lawrence Harris. | | 3 |  | The Haxan Cloak
Excavation
Moody, dark music, all elaborately structured and composed. | | 4 |  | Grouper
The Man Who Died In His Boat
Probably Grouper's most accessible album and a good introduction to her style. It's
interesting how uncomfortable the music sounds the one time cuts the drones and just
plays an acoustic piece ("Living Room"). | | 5 |  | Jon Hopkins
Immunity
Only occasionally ambient, but maybe my #1 album overall so far. The title track is
absolutely gorgeous. | | 6 |  | Atrium Carceri
Void
Technically from last year and not Carceri's best, but still gloomy and very unsettling.
"Passage" and "Reap" are highlights. | |

08.22.13 | Check Steve Roach's new album Future Flows. It's definitely making my end of the year list. Also, it's Steve Roach. He's one of the true ambient masters | mindleviticus

08.22.13 | I second ASC's album (Time Heals All), especially disc 2. I don't even like ambient that much, but I like that one. |
