Five amazing space ambient compilations to enjoy at sunset

Its almost impossible — at least for me — not to love deeply relaxing and abstract space ambient compilations. They are generally so smooth, so expansive, so serene, so cohesive, so creative, that its very easy to enjoy and to appreciate them. The graceful intonations, the discreetly, but imponderable colorful vitality, the proverbial acquiescence of the harmonies, all these elegant features are easily captivating. Of course, you really have to love deeply this genre of music; otherwise, you will be astoundingly bored. 

I really can expend a lot of time on the web searching for marvelous compilations to listen. And fortunately, there are an extraordinary abundance of them. If you are not familiar with this kind of music, I ask you to listen at least one of the compilations selected below; after all, it's not that bad to experience something new.

Evidently, there is not too much rhythmic variations on this type of music — as you may notice —, but the general purpose of the genre is to create an environment of relaxing and serene sonorous cosmogony, where you can just forget entirely everything concerning existential matters; just be yourself, and rest with profound vigor. Something that we do not practice frequently, on this turbulent times we're living in, since we are always, always very busy with great amounts of work, appointments and general daily obligations. So, this is where this formidable, amazing and fantastic genre of music fits into our lives. Its the perfect gateway for moments of salutary grace, to ensure sanity stays exactly where it should be.

But, setting aside this brief introduction, we should go directly to the first compilation. After all, this is really not the type of music that needs rationalization, an analysis, or a serious "explanation". On the contrary. You just need to relax, to be yourself, and to let the music penetrate deeply into your whole immaculate sensitivity. If you do this at night, listening to the sound in a quiet, serene environment, preferably in a dark room — not in a loud volume —, you will definitely understand what space ambient music is all about. This is the magic that I'm trying to truthfully convey here. 
Of all the compilations I've selected here, probably this one is my favorite. Already on the first song, you are contemplated by fantastic and marvelous harmonies, that will definitely transport you to another world; one a lot more serene, calm. peaceful and generous than the one we're living in. It's easy to wish this magnificent song never ends. With a solitary, but comfortable vividness, its fascinating musical graciousness will certainly leave you astounded. The sensible and gentle atmosphere of the sound is almost a firm invitation to enjoy happily a satisfactory moment of contentment, like very few musical genres are able to properly propitiate to its listeners. I'm sure you will love this formidable compilation, as much as I do!
This marvelous compilation depart from the general serenity that revolves around the most elementary axis of this type of music, whose core element consists of exceedingly smooth and overtly diluted melodies, since "space ambient" is not effectivelly a musical genre, but rather an umbrella term, that includes generally calm and easygoing synthesizer driven music.  
While this is probably the most concise of the compilations selected, its beauty and uneasiness are also overtly peculiar, since its melodies are a little more vibrant and vivacious than the previous selections, while cohesively preserving all the sonorous features relevant to the genre; nevertheless, the songs present on this setlist are amazingly graceful, and all the increasingly tender and delightful harmonies —while delivering a delicate degree of sensibility that can be vastly appreciated with remarkable joy —, conceives a sagacious parallel universe full of dense and splendorous intensity, that departs from the most impenetrable understanding of the human nature. 
This graceful — and somewhat hyperbolic — compilation displays a calmer, but consistent sonorous expansion, that seems to discreetly come from within the serenity of its own dispersive calmness. Its salutary, though expressively dark tenderness dilates the overwhelmingly diffusive tranquility that gradually departs from its dense and horizontal musical eagerness. Like a galaxy whose overall contingencies overflow beyond the mordacious restlessness of an infinite and deleterious agony, this marvelous and imponderable symphony of existential vitality overexposes the placid grace of the human despair, with a terribly realistic and grievous detrimental insolence. Only if you're not human you can definitely survive to fully appreciate this level of existential magnificence. 
Despite the fact, that space ambient is an exceedingly abstract musical genre, its dense, horizontal and profound anatomy propitiates to audiences a formidable level of introspection, that almost works as a therapy session. Though you may find the sound to be simple — and to a certain extent, it is — the graceful tenderness that comes from the melodies definitely redirects a peaceful and relaxing part of the universe to our sensibilities, with the aim to heal the anxieties of the heart. 

While the consistent musicality that comes from all this formidable compilations has the potential to reverberate within ourselves, its easy to assimilate the graceful and imponderable virtues of serenity. While you can rest for a moment — a moment that can last centuries within the proverbially transient dimension of time and space, as your senses become more volatile and susceptible to a lethargic degree of dispersive rapture — its ephemeral vitality remains within you, in your consciousness, in the restless abscesses of divinity, delivering discreetly into the renitent peripheries of your thoughts the exponential eagerness that longs for an everlasting existential placidity, that may not exist in the daily turbulent and disdainful palace of human exasperation. 

I hope you have appreciated this marvelous sonorous journey, and my suggestions. If you didn't knew this genre of music, I hope you have liked as much as I do. Feel free to write your personal opinion about it. Until our next appointment, keep on listening this wonderful compilations, and feel free to discover new ones for yourself on the web!
