2. Steve Roach - Dreamtime Return (1988)

This 1988 double-disk masterpiece, inspired by Roach's visits to the Australian outback and his experience with its wilderness and Aboriginal culture (and his work with didgeridoo master David Hudson), is likely Roach's most popular work to date. This journey into Aboriginal mythology (the Dreamtime was an Eden-like period of natural harmony presaged by the arrival of extraterrestrial ancestors) remains an ambient trademark and truly original work. Dreamtime combines tribal percussion, synths, and location recordings of Aboriginal sounds throughout the 14 tracks, brilliantly bringing into focus what the ancient dreamtime period in Australian prehistory may have been like, based on both legend and geological data. This poll brought to our attention an interesting and passionate division that separates Roach fans as to which of his albums is his finest: Dreamtime Return or Structures from Silence (see No. 4).
