mcbpete Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 i love ambient but i usually just stick on drone-zone.. its not always to taste. who makes some fluffy lush?Yeah, it's strange that there's just so much down-beat stuff out there - I love the genre but it's sometimes quite a grind to get though. Celer makes some more happier ambient, I recommend this one that sounds like the sun setting real slowly on a summer's evening - https://celer.bandcamp.com/album/evaporate-wonder Also Stars Of The Lid - ...and Their Refinement of the Decline is generally quite an upbeat ambient album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=et_lDyRymrw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lala Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 if i want warm i usually meditation/yogic-type stuff, but thats its own genre in itself, dont always want some geezer chanting mantra and ringing bells :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWW Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I know what you mean about wanting light, not sure about these, but they are staving off the dark for me at the moment... https://donnachacostello.bandcamp.com/album/love-from-dust-2 https://tomfurse.bandcamp.com/album/the-planets-as-viewed-by-satellite http://amalgamatedwondersoftheworld.bandcamp.com/track/soiree-at-the-simplitz-saloon-live-2014 ...plus Harold Budd has a million gorgeously beautiful afternoon yawns.

mcbpete Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Stephan Mathieu circa 2008 (RADIOLAND LP) Bought the CD copy of that a few years back and haven't heard it for ages. In my memory all the tracks start off nice an light (almost reminding me of Cliff Martinez's OST for the Solaris remake) and then some layers come in near the end making it all supaspooky and discordant. Gonna have to revisit it again, been too long EDIT: From checking those previews I think my memory is tricking me, the first one really reminds me of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NI64 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I have a deep love for anything by Matt Hillier - Ishq, Ishvara, Elve, Colourform, Indigo Egg. Just puts me in another world listening to it. [youtubehd]KIVpvTOB7J0[/youtubehd] [youtubehd]GdcJ-7TqguY[/youtubehd] I think his "warmest" releases are probably under the Elve moniker. That's the more natural, earth-inspired stuff. Lots of samples of rain, leaves, wind, etc. But you really can't go wrong with anything by him, it's all gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuatxuk Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 all fans of ambient music should check out stars of the lid. if you think "drone" means something exclusively dark, or chanting etc. you are in for a treat as they are none of that. SoTL are like a lovely warm bath, and the music is always moving along, never boring imo. yeah more often than not the drone ambient I listen to is upbeat, reflective, warm, etc. maybe melancholy in a nostalgic sense but not dark and foreboding https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WomL_KfIApY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8Xv-5i6G5Y this label is a nice starting point for warm ambient more synth-y stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZr9wVJev4A lala, I would hit up deion sanders as well, he's one of the ambient gurus here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

th555 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I was gonna post Ishq in the cheesy new age thread lol. It's legit good tho. Motion Sickness of Time Travel is great as well, I really like this track with the amazing bass tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenGOD Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Abstract Aprils - Blossom Ends is a fantastic piece of light, warm ambient. https://abstractaprils.bandcamp.com/album/blossom-ends And of course Global Communication: If soundcloud wasn't borked at the moment I'd link you to Tom Middleton's "Ambitracks" - which are unreal in their gorgeousness. Mountains makes some great warm bright ambient - not always droney (but their best stuff is) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_uHG1SJfvc&list=PL2BD98CFBA1AB5818 And definitely second the Donnacha Costello recommendations. Also if you're going the SOTL route - you'll end up at A Winged Victory for the Sullen eventually. And you'll be happy when you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
