Episode Favorite Ambient Albums of 2025 Part 1
When end-of-the-year list season began I wasn't sure if I was going to do a favorite ambient albums list. I wasn't as locked into ambient as much this year as in the past. I spent most of my listening time in indie, jazz, and berlin-school. I had several ambient albums that would for sure make my list so I started with those and the next thing I knew - I had a list of 26 albums that are my 2025 favorites.
Here are my favorite ambient albums of 2025, in alphabetical order:
• Alexander Knaifel - Chapter Eight • Almost An Island - Almost An Island • Andrew Heath - Signals and Codes • Anthéne & Simon McCorry - Wellspring • Bill Brennan and Andy McNeill - Dreaming In Gamelan • Byron Metcalf - Spiral Exchange • Clarice Jensen - In holiday clothing, out of the great darkness • Dictaphone - Unstable • Emily A. Sprague - Cloud Time • Erik M - Soft Wish • Florian T M Zeisig - A New Life • Lab's Cloud and Flavio Salvaje - Kalima • Loneward - Musings of a Painted Sky • M. Sage - Tender Wading • Martin Stürtzer - Nexus-6 • offthesky - form.radio • offthesky - Nocturnas • Peter Gregson - Peter Gregson • Rod Modell - Northern Michigan Snowstorms • Seabuckthorn - A Path Within A Path • Six Missing - Without Mind • Steve Roach - The Reverent Sky • Taylor Deupree & Zimoun - Wind Dynamic Organ, Deviations • Xu - Murmurs of the Machine • Yorkshire Modular Society + Peter Digby Lee - Beneath the Hanging Sky • zakè - Silentium
I made two mixes so it will be a little easier to digest. This post is for part one. I hope you enjoy this look back at 2025.
Cheers!
