Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 86.2/100, a mean average of 84.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 15.8.

I’m really surprised I overlooked this chart.
Although I do disagree with some choices — for instance I feel that O.Rang captured much more of the power of Talk Talk’s last few albums than Hollis’ solo work — such inclusions as David Thomas Broughton, The Unthanks, Tindersticks, Emmanuelle Parrenin, June Tabor and Current 93 are rare here but mostly very worthwhile. I also like how it is not obscure for the sake of it.
Good stuff to the max. Lots of my favorite underrated artists included. This is the work of a music expert.

The work you've put into all the lists you've made is insane! Especially your all time lists for lots of specific genres are such a gold mine as a source of music. While this isn't directly related to this overall chart, it's so cool to see the very best picks from someone so knowledgeable! Truly an immense joy to behold
Jameth 08/28/2019 19:18
Brigitte Fontaine, Ed Askew, Emmanuelle Parrenin, June Tabor, Matt Elliott, Kronos Quartet...cool, cool, cool. I'm gonna check out Diamond Mine. You might be my favorite chart-maker on the site...your custom charts are incredible.

Great chart!!
ExTeaSea 02/01/2019 01:22
Such a unique chart! Cool seeing Amon Dull IIs Wolf City album and that Harmonium album is beautiful. I approve!
sssvnnn 12/08/2018 01:43
Phantastic chart, full of beautiful intimate music.
Some interesting picks to discover.
phantom1305 12/07/2018 15:02
Neat picks. I am surprised/happy to see Nico as your number one album. :)
Liedzeit 12/07/2018 10:27
How can a chart with Nico at no. 1 get less than 90? And I am happy to see, that I am not alone in liking Bowie’s Space Oddity best. And it is good to see Kevin Ayers. You should think twice about Genesis, though :-)

I became familiar with your profile through your incredibly impressive ambient chart, and your overall chart is no less impressive.
Really love how diverse the picks are in terms of both nationality and genre, Spirit Of Eden, Chelsea Girl and Illinois are just a couple of shared favourites whilst Trance Frenz and Diamond Mine are two beautiful records I've been turned to because of you, will definitely trawl through for future recommendations!
Some notes to some of the albums is all that is needed for a perfect score from me :)
