10. Steve Hillage - Rainbow Dome Musick (1979)

An electric guitarist who first came to prominence with the cosmic hippie psychedelic rock band Gong, Steve Hillage has gone on to be an enduring influence in ambient music. Hillage is a master of the "glissando guitar," a technique that incorporates rubbing the strings along the neck of the guitar with a piece of steel, creating a sustained, fluid, voice-like tone. His 1979 release Rainbow Dome Musick features this plaintive sound, floating amidst shimmering electronic atmospheres. The two long pieces, "Garden of Paradise" and "Four Ever Rainbow" are idyllic tone poems, almost static, with subtle variations moving the music forward atan imperceptible pace. Hillage has always considered this music an expression of surrealism, and one can hear that imagistic dream logic on this recording.
