| Paysage Ranked
It's winter. Paysage is winter. Paysage is love. | | 1 |  | Paysage d'Hiver
Das Tor
A career-encompassing statement that finally gets it absolutely right. Das Tor goes down smoothly to induce that perfect wintry meditative state. Don't let the 3.9 average fool you. | | 2 |  | Paysage d'Hiver
Winterkaelte
The behemoth anchor to Wintherr's discog, even if it's a little bloated at times. The instrumentation is beautiful and Finsternis is particularly haunting. It's the "Inle" of atmospheric black metal. | | 3 |  | Paysage d'Hiver
Paysage d'Hiver
Gorgeously orchestrated and excellently written despite being a little thin on production. Nonetheless, one of Paysage's three defining albums. | | 4 |  | Paysage d'Hiver
Kristall und Isa
Like on the s/t, Wintherr has the songwriting down but the atmosphere is too much ice and not enough snow. It's a short, sweet statement worth frequent listens. | | 5 |  | Paysage d'Hiver
Steineiche
The breakthrough album for Paysage, featuring massive walls of sound but very stark transitions and a little too much croaking. | | 6 |  | Paysage d'Hiver
Nacht
A dark, brooding exercise featuring lots of creeping synthesizer and static soundscapes, but it absolutely lives up to its title and is an enjoyable listen. | | 7 |  | Paysage d'Hiver
Kerker
The grimiest, most indistinct sounds imaginable rise from Wintherr's foray indoors. It sounds exactly like a dungeon, and is a welcome change of pace. | | 8 |  | Paysage d'Hiver
Schattengang
Each of the three songs is enjoyable and distinct, though it doesn't really reach the supernatural heights of Paysage's best albums. | | 9 |  | Paysage d'Hiver
Einsamkeit
Being #9 on this list is hardly a knock. Einsamkeit stretches out the calmer bits of Winterkalte for a more relaxing state, and perhaps a calm before the storm of Das Tor. | | 10 |  | Paysage d'Hiver
Die Festung
"Eishall" is a beautiful, entrancing epic. The rest is sort of awkward and under-developed. Pick it up for the opener. | |

12.26.15 | Even if winter still hasn't arrived on the eastern seaboard, we'll always have these. | oltnabrick
12.26.15 | I would put 10 and 5 higher | PappyMason
12.26.15 | I need to listen to more of these. | guitarded_chuck
12.26.15 | everyone should give at least 1 a listen | Valkyrion
12.26.15 | die festung is the best out of paysage's ambient works tbh and it's still pretty mediocre, honestly his work outside top 4 + 6 is all pretty skippable | Totengott
12.26.15 | Great ranking, I would put Nacht a bit higher myself, though. 10 rules anyways, it's just ambient, so quite different. | MoosechriS
12.26.15 | paysage d'hiver rules, die festung is his best ambient work. Any of 1-5 could be interchangeable on any given day for me depending on my mood. | Alastor
12.26.15 | Die Festung is pure dungeon synth. | Hawks
12.27.15 | 7 would be much higher for me and 1 a little lower, but still sweet ranking. m/ | Sevengill
12.27.15 | Sounds like I need to jam Festung asap. | climactic
12.27.15 | 1 is the best but its basically paysage+darkspace. 2 and 3 are prob his defining releases |
