This tag is for Ambient Concept Albums. Concept albums that are purely ambient or classical.

A concept album: In popular music, a concept album is an album which is “unified by a theme, which can be instrumental, compositional, narrative, or lyrical”. Most often they are pre-planned (conceived) and with all songs contributing to a single overall theme or unified story, this plan or story being the concept. This is in contrast to the standard practice of an artist or group releasing an album consisting of a number of unconnected (lyrically or otherwise) songs performed by the artist. Given that the suggestion of something as vague as an overall mood often tags a work as being a concept album, a precise definition of the term proves problematic.

In the world of musical theatre, there is a separate and distinct form of concept album known as the album musical, in which the performers are playing characters in a story, a type of recording which encompasses such “rock operas” as The Who’s Tommy and The Wall by Pink Floyd.

Ambient music is music that is designed to be part of the environment. It focuses on sonic texture rather than composition or rhythm. Ambient music typically lacks variety but has developed a set of distinct sub-genres. As a genre it originated in the United Kingdom at a time when new sound-making devices such as the synthesizer, were being introduced to a wider market. Brian Eno was an early pioneer of ambient music. Its popularity peaked in the early 1990s. The Orb and Aphex Twin gained commercial success with ambient tracks. Ambient compositions are often quite lengthy, much longer than more popular, commercial forms of music. Some pieces can reach a half an hour or more in length.
