Can we get an ambient/drone thread going? Feel free to also post any sort of offshoots or related types of music. Old and new ambient music welcome.
If you post something, feel free to share some kind of link to it too!
No shitposting please. Go to the Avengers threads on /tv/ for that.

I love that album. Budd released pic related around the same time, and it has a similar sound to it.
Just started getting into this kind of stuff, really like it. This is one of my favourite discoveries so far.

Strië – Struktura
> Inspired by modernist painters of the twentieth century, each track on Struktura shares its name with an abstract work of art. […]
> […] Strange mechanical whirring, tearing and scratching, haunted bells, low and ominous rumbling and ethereal drones - whatever the source of these sounds they are a mystery now, abstracted, pulled and stretched like paint over canvas. Snatches of voice are caught but words are indistinguishable. […]
anyone else listen to this before?
an underrated 4AD gem
Can you guys rec me some entry-level ambient/drone? I am coming from postrock background so preferably something halfway, not too electronic. Can't get into purely ambient stuff easily yet. Biosphere-Substrata was alright and Stars of the Lid are listenable too. As for drone, I liked Earth and some Sunn o))) stuff.
>>55420122
Thank you so much. I was looking for these.
>>55420332
for everyone here is the one of the paintings wich the first track refers to.

This is it.
This is finaly the reason why I'm going to leave this tasteless, brainless shithole, this pathetic excuse of a deutsh painting contect.
/mu/ is braindead and hasbeen for a long time. Imbecile opinions poping up left and right along with the emergence of mediocre "conscious" rap and boring indie-rock, leading kids to believe that music without lyrics is pointless.
Pointless.
You are pointless, motherfucker. I can't believe how mad I are at thise three fucking words. Fucking YEARS of discussion, fucking 1k5+ albums listened to, just to lead to one conclusion made by random anonyfag, one random imbecile proud of his pleb opinion, probably jerking it off to his mother and sisters, crying sometimes when remembering that time when uncle Rob tried to kiss you on the mouth when you were a child :
"Ambient is pointless"
This is over /mu/, I can't deal with plens anymore. This place is nothing but negativity bred to the point where Bob and Tyrone and agreeing on the sale form of popular music, aka the LOWEST, the fucking LOWEST POINT.
"Ambient is pointless"
You are the biggest motherfucker of 2015. I'm so fucking mad you dared to clic on "submit" without a double-thinking. If I had thje ressources to do so, I'd actively try to find you, buy a record of Eno's ambient works, and slip it in your ass, little piece by little piece. After the two of three hours of insertion, when you'll try to shit it out, we'll see who the pointless, assface.
>>55420753
Jefre is so based.
Conversations with Myself is my favorite release of his.
He also has great taste in movies:
Love Streams (Cassavetes)
13 Moons (Fassbinder)
>>55420541
From what you said, I'd recommend Bersarin Quartett first. Also try Shenzhou by Biosphere, Susumu Yokota, Gigi Masin, Rain Drinkers, maybe Jääportit.
>>55420369
Yup.
>>55420837
Ridiculous responses like this are why they do it. If you didn't freak out then it wouldn't be "fun" anymore.
>>55420885
it's a copypasta
>>55420837
is this a new pasta?
>>55420837
But you're mindlessly encompassing entire genres as bad, including calling "indie rock" mediocre, which is a pretty fucking bold statement considering how much of it there is.
Basically you're as ignorant as the other guy
>>55420870 I've been making a drone chart too.
You can probably find links in the archive, but if you're looking for a release in particular I can upload it.

HAS A POINT.
You, on the other hand, are pointless, motherfucker. I can't believe how mad I are at thise three fucking words.

Anyone on the thread made any ambient or drone pieces?
pic related is drone-like with aspects of progressive electronic and beautiful guitars by mark mcguire. i highly suggest delving into mark mcguire more obscure releases - he's got so many - they're really quite wonderful
