Here's my 10 (or so . . .), not necessarily in any order.
All of these are well recorded, but as Cdelplato did above, I used an * to indicate those that are especially well recorded.
Mike Oldfield: Songs of a Distant Earth*; Ommadawn (HDCD)
Bill Laswell: (he lead, plays in many, many bands)
- Material - Halucination Engine*
- Sacred System Chapter One
Tangerine Dream: Riccochet
Haslinger: Score
Jan Hammer: First Seven Days * (recently remastered onto cd)
Klaus Schulze: Time Wind
Brian Eno: Another Green World
Brian Eno & J.Peter Schwalm: Drawn from Life *
Also, I will second the following nominees from above:
- Peter Gabriel: Passion
- Massive Attack: Mezzanine
- Radiohead: all listed, but especially The Bends, and OK Computer
And finally, though I'm really not sure I understand what "alternative" is, I think given many of the bands listed above, I would list the following as alternative:
Tool: Lateralus
