A while ago we had a couple of polls focusing on ambient albums of 1994. Those were very cool, but I've been listening to a lot of 90s ambient, and I kinda feel 1994 was the best year ever for the genre... So I've tried to compile a larger poll that would include more essential albums from that year. Obviously some things are still left out (I didn't want to put every 1994 Fax release on the list), but hopefully this'll be a properly inclusive list.
Beyond naming your favourites, all sort of discussion on ambient in 1994, and on the development of the genre before and after that year is obviously welcome. If you feel (like me) that this was the peak year for (post-house) ambient, why do you think it is?
