Requiem for a Dying Planet was the sound scape for Werner Herzog’s Wild Blue Yonder. A brilliant film backed by this album, I feel that the album stands on its own.
This recording brings together three very disparate elements into a synergistic whole. They are Ernst Reijseger’s cello, the choral singing of the Sardinian group Tenore e Cuncordu de Orosei and the soaring vocals of Senegalese singer Mola Sylla. Each is a singular expression of music from widely differing traditions; together, they’re indescribable.
Requiem For a Dying Planet is not the anticipated death song for the earth, this music is dedicated to this wonderful planet and the beauty of living which could be heavenly if religions would not exist.”
Bulgarian choir singing. It’s beautiful, powerful, and a little alien IMO.
Gravelike by Phillip E Morris
My tastes are very very different from 99.9% of you so I’m not gonna post the one piece that gives me chills and makes me imagine that Heaven is a real place.
Adagio for strings usage in the original home world game was one of the most impactful moments in entertainment for me across all mediums.

The made in abyss OST.
Anything bagpipes
Stairway to Heaven
Sanguisugabogg - Dead As Shit

…I think it’s actually about AI, but this is about as theistic as it gets on my personal playlist.
Shockingly prophetic for something from 2016 - as far as our usage goes, it nailed it.
