ive been listening to reflections in suspension practically on repeat for weeks. this album is great. any more steve roach i should check out?
also have been listening to eluvium and william basinski (pic related). I found melancholia pretty good so now i have high expectations for the disintergration loops, quite excited to listen to them
>>61734098
Great album but this is Roach's best.The Aboriginal influence and the concept of dream states is amazing.
>>61734098
Really cool Steve Roach track.

Iceage is band dis shit good
>>61734360
Yes! I found this 2xCD at a thrift store in Philly. Came with a full booklet and everything, $1. A fantastic late-night listen.
>>61734732
This is an ambient thread, friend. Iceage are not an ambient group.
Celer all day erryday

why does ambient even exist?
>>61734098
Hello, just getting into ambient. I recently have been listening to Klaus Schulze's stuff: Irrilicht, Cyborg, and soon Timewind. Absolutely LOVE Irrilicht and Cyborg good god, any more like these?
Also, does anyone have any ambient with percussion? Amon Duul II's Marylin-Monroe-Memorial Church is one of my favorite tracks ever, but I wouldn't know where to find stuff like it.

The sublte guitar plucks, the bass notes, the drum climax at the end. It's fucking magnificent. Recs would be greatly appreciated.
>>61734327
melancholia is the only album he's made with traditional song lengths. Not amazing, still quite enjoyable, but the disintegration loops is GOAT. Especially Part 2, but all are good. If you enjoy TDL check out 92982, Nocturnes, and Shortwavemusic.
>>61734327
>>61736165
That is, if you haven't listened to them already.
Kevin Drumm - Imperial Distortion.
It sounds just like the artwork
Requesting song oriented/Warmer section

A rare treat. You guys are alright.
And oh wow, I see Roach just released an album in 2015. Brb.

Perils - Perils

>>61736492
Perhaps some Grouper as well?
>>61736492
Maybe
Andrew Chalk - Shadows From The Album Skies
Black Tape for a Blue Girl - Remnants Of A Deeper Purity
this album and all of this guys work is underappreciated but sick a f
David Bowie's album Low has some nice ambient pieces.
>>61736492
Who is this list for? People who have already heard some ambient?
>>61736492
>no Discreet Music in the top row
>no Eno at all
This is the most patrician of ambient pieces.
>>61736492
That's an old version, here's the newest one.
>>61738191
Ambient 4 is on it. I find Discreet Music corny, though the Pachelbel tracks after it are good.
>>61738191
It's his best.
>>61736534
the two vortex albums he put up on his bandcamp page are both pretty good actually
>>61738191
link?
>>61735565
Check out other German music from that time like (early) Tangerine Dream, Edgar Froese, Harmonia, and Cluster.
As for ambient with percussion, check out the middle track on Tangerine Dream's Alpha Centauri.
>>61734327
92982 is his best IMHO, TDL are a little overrated
>>61734871
What are two or three albums you would recommend out of his gigantic discography?
Any good 2015 ambient recs?
I'm a major ambientfag but only two or three ambient records made it in to my top 25 this year
>>61739512
Alva Noto - Xerrox vol. 3
Hecq - Mare Nostrum
Shuttle358 - Can You Prove I Was Born
>>61739540
>Hecq - Mare Nostrum
this is some cool shit
>>61739512
I didn't hear too much ambient from 2015, but this struck me as a great example of a dark space ambient with a mean streak.
https://malignantrecs.bandcamp.com/album/enceladus
>>61739638
Yeah it's def my ambient AOTY 2015, it's a cool concept and the execution is great.
>>61739512
ian william craig - a turn of breath
bas van huizen - kluwekracht (more drone)
jasmine guffond - yellow bell
rafael anton irisarri - a fragile geography
alphaxone - altered dimensions (dark ambient)
>>61739540
already heard those and Xerrox is in my top 10 but thanks for the recs, good taste.
>>61739683
I believe you mean Cradle For the Wanting for Ian William Craig, and I did indeed love Yellow Bell, will check out the rest, thanks
While I'm at it, great 2015 ambient not yet mentioned in this thread:
En - City of Brides
James Murray - The Sea in the Sky
Abul Mogard - The Sky Had Vanished
Anne Garner- Be Life (not strictly ambient I guess but still highly recommended)
ambient is pointless
>>61739776
thanks for the bump faggot
>>61739776
>if i can't dance to it, it's useless!
>>61739776
So was your post
>>61739738

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvSVxSoqprY

I like that Dark Ambient shit that is goin' on in "Darkest Before Dawn". Only album I know about Steve Roach. Listened to it many times while working or sleepin' or doin' chores. I also enjoy Tangerine Dream or Lustmord.
So mainly I am lookin' for new fucking sinister Dark Ambient
&
Happy shit like
"Global Communication - 5:23".
>>61739432
Everything is decent desu but I listen the most to Capri and Continents
>>61739655
agreed, it takes real musicianship to pull off an almost 80 minute album and keep it enthralling all the way. Thanks for this
>>61734360
I feel like Roach is a bit overrated by Scaruffi, but that doesn't make his music fucking amazing and a bit under-appreciated.
>that Looking for Safety
Can anybody rec me some warm drone/noisy ambient? Really into stuff like October Language by Belong and Jefre Cantu-Ledesma.
>>61734098
Been enjoying this recently
>>61738701
Missing Autechre and SAW1
>>61742317
naw, roach is underappreciated by scruffles
>>61744344
Autechre's remix of Seefeel's Spangle is in there but yeah, kind of lacking in Garbage or Amber I think.
>>61738701
i like the fact there's a rhythmic section. the necks are wonderful.
What do you guys think of this?
Really beautiful imo
>>61745494
it sounds so warm and comfy. Must have wintercore desu
Do you know some similair stuff?
>>61739192

>>61738701
Kinda, but by the merit of the title track which takes up Side A, it should be on there. It's arguably the first link of the chain these albums can trace back to before going to Satie and Stockhausen.
The idea of self generative music, and how Eno used two small samples to create the piece is mind blowing.
Listened to this last night stoned with all the lights off - transcendental
>>61745604
I don't and it saddens me
