Favorite Ambient Albums of 2025 Part 1

Listen Later

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:

  1. Alexander Knaifel - Chapter Eight
  2. Almost An Island - Almost An Island
  3. Andrew Heath - Signals and Codes
  4. Anthéne & Simon McCorry - Wellspring
  5. Bill Brennan and Andy McNeill - Dreaming In Gamelan
  6. Byron Metcalf - Spiral Exchange
  7. Clarice Jensen - In holiday clothing, out of the great darkness
  8. Dictaphone - Unstable
  9. Emily A. Sprague - Cloud Time
  10. Erik M - Soft Wish
  11. Florian T M Zeisig - A New Life
  12. Lab's Cloud and Flavio Salvaje - Kalima
  13. Loneward - Musings of a Painted Sky
  14. M. Sage - Tender Wading
  15. Martin Stürtzer - Nexus-6
  16. offthesky - form.radio
  17. offthesky - Nocturnas
  18. Peter Gregson - Peter Gregson
  19. Rod Modell - Northern Michigan Snowstorms
  20. Seabuckthorn - A Path Within A Path
  21. Six Missing - Without Mind
  22. Steve Roach - The Reverent Sky
  23. Taylor Deupree & Zimoun - Wind Dynamic Organ, Deviations
  24. Xu - Murmurs of the Machine
  25. Yorkshire Modular Society + Peter Digby Lee - Beneath the Hanging Sky
  26. zakè - Silentium

    27. 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!
