Still one of my alltime favorite artists whose music is a constant companion through my life's highs and lows. His ambient music is truly unique just as his paintings. Great human as well.

The first song I heard from him was Grey Life and it's still one of my favorites.

So far I only have 4 albums. Favourite songs from them? I mention some of my 2 favourite albums of him: From "Ice": Whir, Ice, Star Cathedral, The Dark Blue Hours, She's Spinning. From "The Shipyard": Grey Rain Ships, The Shipyard In Winter, Tugboats In Fog, Under Snow Conditions.

Concerning Lundvall I always have a split feeling. Sometimes it seems that he has completely written himself out and should have stopped at least three or four albums ago.)) Other times I think: "Did this guy manage to create his own little subgenre of electronic/dreampop??". Take e.g. "Beautiful Illusions" (2021). We've heard all of this from him _many_ times before, let's be honest.) But at the same time you are drown into the atmosphere of the album very effectively, you have a melancholicly catchy "Forever Rain", a beautiful airy "Love Song", unexpected jazzy keyboards in the second half of "Lonely Boy", and, well.. just a pleasant album overall. Again.)

I see your point, but personally I'd welcome ten more albums of this electronic/dreampop thing he's doing

His style is unique to me, I never get tired of listening to his music so he can release as many albums as he wants for all I care.

Lots of his albums have their own identity and atmosphere. For example, Sleeping And Hiding sounds very different to The Shipyard. Some of his albums are very similar to each other though, but I have no problem with it.

There are 10000+ ambient artists that have 100+ albums that sounds absolutely the same and many people have no problems with that. I do feel Tor has more distinctive sounding albums too.

On one hand I agree, o nthe other... Illussions is disappointing and just boring. I find Dark Place more interesting. Still "Drowning" is one of his best tracks in years. And I like bonus tracks on new boxset.

Beautiful Illusions isn't one of my favourites either, but I didn't find it disappointing. I would love another album like Night Studies.

These three are good examples btw: by Lundvall spectrum I'd put "A Dark Place" and "Night Studies" exactly as the opposites. "Night Studies" leans too much to the ambient side as for me -- it's too blurry (and with too many too short tracks also:). And "Dark Place" is more rythmic and with clearer melodies; quite a guilty pleasure actually. "Beautiful Illusions" I'd put somewhat in the middle.

Unfortunately, he's a very late discovery for me. I will undo my mistake for sure.

His pop records such as 'Passing Through Alone' don't do much for me, but his ambient work is incredible. 'Under The Shadows Of Trees' is beautiful.

Это, пожалуй, единственный музыкант, песни которого мне нравятся абсолютно все и каждая из них по-своему восхищает. Слушаю его более десяти лет и вдохновляюсь его творчеством.

I am very thankful of discovering most ambient albums I found, same with the album "Ice" by Tor Lundvall. I love icy cold ambient.

The Mist is good but in no way better than The Shipyard. Ice is great though, so it'd be a good place to start as well.

I started with the album "Ice" and for me it was perfect decision as I love icy cold ambient.
