Ambient - The Megathread

[chenGOD]

Yeah I just found out about that album last week - so beautiful. "Hello Dawn Horizon" is my fav on it.

 

Another sublime album I've been on lately is Blossom ends from Abstract April.

This is one of the best ambient/electro-acoustic/electronic/whatever albums I've heard in ages.

Yeah I've been listening to this one loads since it came out. Serein has released a lot of good stuff - it's a very solid label.

Good for all you William Basinski fans

 

[awepittance]

everything this guy did after he stopped doing beats is pretty much my favorite ambient music ever. Tetsu we miss you, pls come back

[Zorro]

 

I loved tetsou inoue. I must go back and revisit!

 

Could someone suggest a primer on his stuff or point of ideal entry?

Yeah, this album (Discourses Of The Withered) was on repeat whole last year.

[kausto]

Gonna recommend this album by Tatamax (aka Quinoline Yellow)

Ambiant Otaku

World Receiver

Inland

 

DATacide (collaborative effort with Uwe Schmidt) - basically all these releases are amazing

2350 Broadway (collaboration with Pete Namlook) - again, everything here is great.

Shades of Orion (different collaboration with Pete Namlook) - again, everything here is great.

 

 

Lots to start with there. Those are all mostly beatless ambient, which, as JE mentioned, is probably the best part of his output, and some truly amazing ambient it is.

Another great tip, sir! Getting this album right away, sounds great!

[cwmbrancity]

Andrew Liles rrrrrrrocks, so many variations & styles, from fluffy ambient to deeeeeeepest headfuck. Check out the bits he's done w/Stephen Stapleton too,,,,,,

 

1 of those very rare artists to buy-on-sight

[cwmbrancity]

find the time to give his "remix" of Bass Communion's lp "Ghosts On Magnetic Tape" a listen..... incredible sounds .....

(u-tub quality)

Richard H Kirk's output has flirted with all kinds of shapes, tones & patterns, especially with the more ambient side of house (real trance music, but thats another thread).

 

Loads of Sandoz, Electronic Eye & Sweet Exorcist tracks exist in this realm that gives you the best of "ambient", but with serious drum programming chops, music that can zen out dance floors & drift around your ears at home too.

Lol. That bar is awesome btw

 

[logboy]

... 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 >

Stumbled upon this total drone guitar god.. All for pay what you want.

da fuq wattum, why am i only hearing this now?

[wagwag]

guys, are there any artists like Biosphere copycats or something who mix ambient with jazz drums? never heard anything similar :(

[chenGOD]

how about biosphere and pete namlook?

 

[Salvatorin]

one of my favorites, because listening to it always conjures up real landscapes and it almost creates the physical sensation of being somewhere else:
