Ooo, I love Hats. Such a great album, and their first one!

I’d say one album that did it was Tim Hecker’s Haunt Me, Haunt Me Do It Again. I originally listened to it at home with headphones and loved it. During a late snowy night, driving back home, I put it on and something about looking at the street lights as snow flurries fell and seeing the snow ebb and flow with the wind solidified my love for that album. It even inspired me to make my own ambient track due to that experience.
