Rating metrics: Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)

This album is rated in the top 19% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 74.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.2.

I've been delving into a lot of the music on here for the past couple of years, so a lot is familiar, but it's still well worth it for the artists I've missed and the tracks from albums that are hard to find.

Japanese ambient is awesome... "環境音楽 Kankyō Ongaku: Japanese Ambient, Environmental & New Age Music 1980–1990" is a glimpse into the minimalist, the new age, the avant-garde, the ambient and nature music of Japan. The collection brings together nationally renowned artists such as Haruomi Hosono, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Joe Hisaishi, as well as other pioneers like Hiroshi Yoshimura, Yoshio Ojima and Satoshi Ashikawa who are not well known internationally but who deserve a place among great ambient music. "Kankyō Ongaku" feeds the atmosphere of the time with a sublime overview of hard-to-find works by Ryuichi Sakamoto, Haruomi Hosono, Joe Hisaishi and others, all compiled by Visible Cloaks' Spire Doran. A very nice compilation for a japanophile like me.

8/10

Best track: "Akira Ito - Praying For Mother / Earth, Pt. 1"
