Atmospheric Assistance Needed

[GenePeer]

I recently heard the song "Sunshine" by Atmosphere, and liked it. Did a little research on them (wiki) and checked out like two other songs on youtube. Since I need new songs, I thought I should give them a full listen. Which album would you recommend to start with?

[ThomasJ]

Listen to them in chronological order, that way you can witness Slug's amazing growth as an artist.

As expensive as it will be for me (terrible ISP, last one got shutdown ), it looks like the right way to do it. Thanks

"When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold" is my favorite Atmosphere album but like Thomas J said it's probably best to listen from earliest to most recent.

Download When Life Gives You Lemons, I didn't really like his early stuff that much but that album is incredible.

All of them are vastly different from each-other in terms of sound/production & theme so it's hard to really label which one is the "best" with them being as consistent as they are. Even their own fans have split favorites landing all over their discography. I'm really unable to get into Overcast so I'd never be able to say I've listened to them in chronological order to witness Slug's "growth". Here's 3 examples from each of them to give a feel for each album:

Lemons.

God Loves Ugly is easily my favorite.

Can't get myself to listen to a '97 album! I have this feeling it'd be like Em's Infinite. Started with God Loves Ugly instead and it was amazing! There's like only 4 songs I can't put on replay. Favorites so far: "Godlovesugly", "A Song About A Friend", "Saves The Day", "Lovelife", "Vampires"
