A magic and sublime album from 2011

Anonymous · 2012-08-21T17:48:15-04:00

Today I discovered a fantastic album, one which can only be described as magical and a truly great listening experience. It felt like a journey, a dream into a world where there was nothing to do but listen. Breathing like trees in a sublime wind as days pass them by. Ethereal in nature and a COMPLETE BREATH OF FRESH AIR FROM EVERYTHING ELSE THAT YEAR! My greatest for 2011 before today was Kasabian, Destroyer, Deaf Havana etc. The first two get boring after repeated listens and Deaf Havana's greatness comes from the songwriting which is formulaic but great so it levels off... sort of. Rarely goes places I haven't been before. Pains of Being Pure At Heart and Yuck albums were great too. I suppose both could be rated higher on the chart. None of them come close on first listen to the album I heard today though. None of them took me to the places that album took me today. I'm not going to say another word about it though. Listen for yourself. The album is called 'The Magic Place' by a person named 'Julianna Barwick'.

Glad to see we're disagreeing again 🤣

But ya this a great album. I think it's around 10-15 for the year for me.

It's a nice album, but I'd rather listen to this:

I can see the appeal of the music but I don't really see why it stands out amongst the hoards of other ambient albums out there.

Also Gussteivi has a very good point.

Do you have any good ambient albums recommendations then?
