Ambient - The Megathread

[chim]

Curtains Blowing off the John Foxx & H Budd Translucence lp came on in a mix out in mate's motor earlier. No audio link sorry.

 

It never fails & @ around 3mins is instant re-e-wind-worthy & something beyond serene/wtf is that

That album is such a lovely highlight of both Foxx's and Budd's careers. Budd has been far more reliable as an ambient resource than Foxx, as for the latter you're never quite sure what madness he's gotten into with a particular record or collaboration. However, his mid 90's album Cathedral Oceans stands out as a tremendously gorgeous and transcendental ambient hallmark. It had a couple sequels and a remastered boxset reissue in 2010, all of which is worth investigating.

I saw Peter Wright mentioned already but not sure if anyone posted tracks.  He's a guitarist from New Zealand.

If you know the NZ scene you probably know who he is.

It's ambient, but it seethes.

ooh great playlist, feeling a bit delicate this Monday morning so this should do nicely

 

Regarding the first artist on the list, Rrose, do check out their performance of Having Never Written a Note for Percussion, very lush

The latest Leighton Craig release on ROOM40's tape label is amazing.

Hitoshi Kojo & Masayoshi Fujita have both created incredible sound worlds, well worth a dig

 

Gianluigi Gasparetti has an incredible catalog & rummaging thru other crap "Beyond the World of Sleep" popped up today, not heard for a while & forgot how sublime it is

(if its been listed on earlier pages it deserves another airing)

... anyone a fan of chilli hatakayama? just listened to a few clips, then googled to find he's one of those people that records a shed load of stuff, releases it all over the place in limited numbers, troublesome minefield of an artist.

 

for example > 

 

 

Yes, Chihei is great! I've only heard a fraction of his output but what I have heard is amazing stuff... A Long Jouney, Ghostly Garden and Mist are some of my absolute fav ambient albums :

nice, i love ambient / drone like this.

 

for those who like that, try this out.  hakobune is one of my favorite ambient / drone artists:

[purlieu]

Hakobune is capable of some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard, but there are so many and I find some of them less exciting, so I sort of stopped following him after a while. Amazing that it's all guitar-based, though.

 

Absolutely gorgeous album by Lammergeyer called Birds of Prey: https://dataobscura.bandcamp.com/album/birds-of-prey
