Rhoda 7,108 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I absolutely love ambient. If you can get hold of it, have a listen to some of Steve Roach and William Basinski. Roach has an extensive catalogue, but if you can find Early Man (and the bonus tracks), give it a listen. Life-changing ambient, he's a true pioneer. Basinski released something called The Disintegration Loops, which is almost as interesting to read about as it is to listen to. If you want something a little darker, do try Death Cube K, which is as atmospheric as anything you could ever find. All good. Link to post Share on other sites
radltzx 0 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I love Aphex Twin. Not all of his work, though, I like the more chilling, melodic side of his music. So yeah, ambient, I think. Like this: It's really amazing how one track can so affect your mood and everything.. Link to post Share on other sites
Rhoda 7,108 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I love Aphex Twin, both styles of his music do it for me. Recently I've been hammering Girl/Boy Song and #4 from the RDJ album, but I can appreciate his Selected Ambient volumes too. Wonderful. Link to post Share on other sites

E.A.B. 63 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I love trance! Oh, ambiance? Sorry. Well, does this count? Link to post Share on other sites
OmegaEvolution 365 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 The entire tracklist for the The Journey radiostation is just brilliant. Maiden Voyage became of my all time favorite songs after i heard it on GTA I hope there is a similar station in GTA5 Link to post Share on other sites

-7- 4,772 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 This is one of my favorite ambient albums.with some avantgarde/modern classic elements. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Arrows to Athens 22,209 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) One of the best and most haunting dark ambient albums ever made. The Word As Power (2013) by Lustmord. My favorite off the record. The chants and haunting vocals send shivers down my spine. Perfect to listen to on a dark, cold autumn/winter night. Another great album by Lustmord: Edited August 31, 2020 by Arrows to Athens 3 Link to post Share on other sites
-7- 4,772 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) I've been listening this album in the morning, I may play it again in the night, good album. Edited September 3, 2020 by spectre07 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Rhoda 7,108 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I don't even remember posting in here, but then again it was nearly ten years ago to the day. Christ. Anyway, thought I'd share this duo called Stars Of The Lid who produce some really soft, swelling and often melancholy ambient music. I would usually take this time to recommend an album but honestly, they're all consistent. You could pick up any one of them. From this, one of the duo split off and formed another partnership by the name of The Dead Texan, reserved for ambient music that was deemed "too aggressive" for the Stars Of The Lid moniker. It really isn't aggressive per se, but it's definitely more active. It wouldn't fit on a Stars Of The Lid album, but it's still some really pleasing ambient music, and it's a touch more optimistic too just in case morose isn't your bag. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Rhoda 7,108 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 For those interested, ambient artist William Basinski released his latest album Lamentations this month. It's obviously free of the lore that surrounds his Disintegration Loops series, but some fans would probably argue that's not necessarily a bad thing given that the background often overshadows the music. There's a lot of comparisons to that of what The Caretaker did for his Everywhere At The End Of Time which is a mammoth undertaking in and of itself. It's sombre by its very nature but sadness and ambient music seem to have a kinship. On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, Jon Hassell seemingly dropped this out of nowhere, which incorperates elements of world music and unconventional tuning to provide a woozy but relaxing listen. It's seen as a follow up to his 2018 album Listening To Pictures which is subtitled as a part one to this Pentimento series. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I actually thought it was original score for the Italian Netflix show Suburra which it features as it's main theme throughout. It's so beautiful. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Galloway 521 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Favorite track from the album. Can't have an ambient thread without Eno. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Arrows to Athens 22,209 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) Perfect to listen to whilst reading scary stories. Cryo Chamber on YouTube does a great job at mixing different dark ambient tracks into a playlist for those who want to discover different dark ambient artists or just want to relax to a collection of different tracks. Kammarheit is another great dark ambient project, right behind Lustmord. Edited November 29, 2020 by Arrows to Athens 3 Link to post Share on other sites
