Yagya.
Buy it, borrow it or download this.

One of the most important ambient albums (IMO). He has taken
a season and made it audible to the ear. I would love to be
driving in a snow storm listening to this. Actually i have
done that already.

I heavily encourage you to give this a chance if you havent
yet.

A bit of information

Icelandic producer Yagya (Aalsteinn Gumundsson) has been
creating atmospheres through melody and sounds for more then
a decade. A definitive member of the Thule Musik collective,
Yagya also is known for his work as half of Sanasol and also
the famed Plastik. A student of computer science at the
University of Iceland Yagya spends his free time creating
music on his computer. He concentrates on atmospheres and
moods and tries to reflect the beauty of the world around
him in the sounds of his music. He seeks influence in the
works of Gas, Philip Glass, Basic Channel, Brian Eno and
anything that is true to itself and it's ideas. Yagya
concentrates on the softer side of music and avoids heavy
rhythms. He finds harmony and beauty in the simple sounds of
nature and wants his music to flow naturally through the
listener. Rhythm of Snow creates techno infused softness
influenced by the harmony of nature. Every natural sound is
in harmony with everything else, Yagya creates a gentle
experience through minimalistic beats with the listener.
Yagya strips his music of every unnecessary sound and only
leaves the essential elements to flow through the listener
in order to create calmness. Layered with rain and water the
music becomes organic and lifelike, manipulated by the
randomness of wind and surf."

for me 4 does capture the season, as i am from guelph and
the beautiful melodies in combination with the harsh and
pressuring backings and rhythm remind me of the winter i
know and love, the on i fear but miss, and the one that i
wish was almost over.

Acid Le Soken by Ceephax is good winter tuneage.

Its like this:
Rotating gnomes sliding on slick ice while a flying car
drifts over them and the white dotted landscape as we soar
into your heart!
