3. GasPop

I went through a stage of buying modern ambient drone LPs and none of them really grabbed me. Initially when I bought this in the now sadly defunct Imperial Records in Bristol it passed over me with only a little effect. The front cover of a detail of some lush forest and a big recommendation from Imperial kept me coming back for more. After a few listens I realised the depth of the music and that there were layers of drones on each track and it was complex but deceptively simple at the same time. I listen to this still all the time when I am snoozing or extremely relaxed. Even after all this years I still come back to this album 14 years after buying the CD.
