Let's talk about ambient. Post artists you like, rec things, whatever
Looking for more relaxing type ambient works like pic related. seems like the only ambient I come across is darker.
This is good
Pic related is pretty neat. Lately I've been into Taylor Deupree and Nils Frahm. Ceramic TL had a pretty cool release this year but its definitely more on the dark/industrial side of ambient

Its nothing too fantastic but its rather pleasant listen

What do you all think of The Ship?
Listened to pic related for the first time today. It was an ok experience but I can't remember anything about it. I dont think I know how to listen to ambient.
Been trying to get into more ambient stuff. Can anyone suggest something similar to Oneohtrix's early stuff? Really love listening to Rifts whenever I'm trying to do any sort of work.
>>64461802
Today I'm going to buy it, I've listened to the title track and it was a magical experience, I think it's one of his best works
Can someone explain me how the fuck people define this "ambient"? Am I missing something? I agree it's chilling, but not ambient
>>64461838
Usually it takes a couple of listens. Though, you might like Tangerine Dream's album Force Majeure better. Not as ambient, but more musically memorable, imho

It's right there in the title :^)
>>64460692
Thursday Afternoon by Eno is the best ambient album
>>64463422

Jefre Cantu Ledesma
>>64461879
Tim Hecker - Virgins maybe?
>>64461764
I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR STRUCTURES FROM SCIENCE FOR EVER. THANK YOU NIGGA.
>>64463719
This so much
>>64463719
Correct.
Go through the Students of Decay label.
looking for more fuzzy, busy, loud ambient thats not supposed to be relaxing
stuff like wilderness of mirrors by lawrence english, tim hecker, black to comm, villages, oo ray, witxes
>>64465684
Eno's Ambient 4 isnt very relaxing, has a feeling of turmoil to it
>>64465891
its not very loud though
he probably wants something like this but more melodic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blpMhGHrCEA
>>64460692
Pic related by bass communion (a Steven Wilson side project) consists of a few dark tracks, but also has two songs called "Drugged" which are chill as hell.
this is a cool one off release before she moved into more solid song-structures. it's relaxing and kind
>>64461838
Zeit is their best work imo
>>64464094
go to rutracker m8, there's a big dischography there, probably not complete but a lot of stuff
OP here thanks guys, a few albums here I forgot about.
Ambient 2>1=4>3

can somebody recommend me ambient that sounds like a movie and or game soundtrack
>>64467398
4 has actual atmosphere and is full of incredibly suggestive and visual sounds and moods, 1 is muzak

On Land is a masterpiece from start to end.
>>64467425
just listen to movie soundtracks
>>64467434
yeah but the first piece on ambient 1 holds a deep place in my heart
>>64467485
fair enough
any KLF love in this thread?
>>64467485
not chessy enough
Drank a bunch of syrup a couple nights ago and listened to this
it was awesome

hey guys, I'm wondering of someone can help me. A while back I was browsing some amb general thread and came across an ambient and field recordings mega folder, but didn't have enough space on my pc. However, I do now and would really appreciate it if someone has it
https://llynycwn.bandcamp.com/
Forgot about this guy's stuff because I haven't listened to it in awhile, but some of it is pretty upbeat-ambient.
>>64467861
I don't know about the ambient one, but here's a field recording one:
https://mega.nz/#F!FclxmYJS!esRY89C8Kyh_DpX72PUSGg
>>64467406
David Sylvian + Holger Czukay - "Plight & Premonition"
>>64464094
>I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR STRUCTURES FROM SCIENCE
Er, Structures from *Silence*.
Although Structures from Science sounds like it could be an interesting album too!
>>64465684

Chihei Hatakeyama has some good ambient albums. Worth checking out.
>>64467434
>1 is muzak
Yes, but somehow, Eno managed to make it GOOD muzak, rather than fluff.
>>64460692
"The Pearl" by Eno and Daniel Lanois is one of very favorite ambient albums.
>>64461802
Didn't realize Eno had a new album out. Thank you!
>>64467406
symphonies of the planets
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cpXpgjUT2k
>>64469025
oh yeah, it was just field recordings. thank you so much, dude
>>64461747
excellent taste
>>64463719
basically 90 percent of root strata (Jefre's label) is gr8
I fucking love On Land by Brian Eno, that's his best of the series actually
Guess what album finally got unmuted on youtube so I can share https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvKoGSgJGdY
>>64467584
what does drinking syrup have to do with listening to an album
>>64469259
Don't forget about Hrold Budd
>>64469259
FUCK YES this record is great. Favorite song off it is the opener Late October:

Is there an equivalent of Music for Airports but for the NYC subway system?
I have a pretty long commute and often read or do sudoku on my phone, some fitting ambient would be nice.
>>64469458
Yep. It has a nice dark sound to it, different from the others in the ambient series.
>>64469512

>>64461802
Listened for the first time last night, absolutely magical experience. Easily one of his best albums.
>>64465684
Yellow Swans is pretty much the go-to for loud fuzzy ambient. Also try Paul Jebanasam.
>>64470110
yeah thanks I forgot to mention Paul Jebanasam, I love the piece with organs and strings he composed. Yellow Swans are a staple too.
>>64467408
>>64469136
thanks but these are not that dynamic and musical and are rather shoegazy/dreamy, I'd prefer something more discrete and with a clear sense of direction
>>64461802
Listening to the first track.
I was enjoying it, and then he started singing.
>>64470214
Dude the vocals are part of what makes the album so great.
>>64469721
That's actually a great idea for a concept album
>>64470285
Not quite sure why, but other than a few tracks from Eno's "Nerve Net", I just don't care for his singing. Oh well.
>>64467584
i masturbate with this album on. it's awesome.
>>64460774
i listened to this last week and it was awesome.
>>64461181
I grabbed a Taylor Dupree + Seaworthy album "Wood, Winter, Hollow" and I really enjoyed it
>>64463422
ambient house. think of the ambient as a description of the house rather than a genre tag.
>>64467425
Atrium Carceri - The Old City OST is a game soundtrack that's lovely
>>64467584
love this album, would never drink cough syrup
>>64468326
no idea what this is, tell me more about it and why you enjoy it
>>64469721
i made a track that had a field recording of the subway/train from O'Hare to the Chicago Station and it turned out pretty well
I've been in love with a few things lately. One of them is ambient/folk from Russia by way of a guy named Foresteppe. The other thing is a local guitar drone artist Haunter (pic related) went to go see him and two openers last night at a cafe. It's my fourth or fifth time seeing him and it's still great to hear what he does
>>64467557
That's their best album but their house songs and The White Room are amazing as well
>>64470449
SAW is Ambient Techno
>>64470449
SubtractiveLAD is kind of a more synth-y project, although he does use some little acoustic guitar bits on some songs. Seems to range from drone-y ambient pieces to some other stuff with beats over it (not 100% sure what to call it). I haven't listened to much of his newer stuff yet.
I ended up checking it out after the song "fumes" from "Apparatus" came up on Pandora radio; ended up liking both his ambient stuff and his stuff with the beats over it.
Here's the link to his soundcloud of you wanna check it out yourself:

fuck. now i am pleb
>>64471010
i'll have to check it out!
>>64470449
Thanks for sharing those
I've been trying to get into the whole ambient folk thing lately and Finland seems to be on a role with things like pic related
>>64461802
I'd listened to the title track a couple times and didn't care for the vocals all that much, but now that I've listened to the whole album it was actually enjoyable. I guess I didn't like that track the first time because I wasn't expecting vocals. The second track is phenomenal, just totally immersive peak-tier Eno. I actually concur with Pitchfork's review with regard to the third trackāI wish Eno did the recitation. But damn, the transition from the third track to the VU cover... pure beauty, pure fucking beauty. Great cover too. Even better in the album than it was alone. It's a beautiful payoff, a newfound freedom after the great depths of your cerebral journey.
>>64474312
This guy gets it
>>64474861
T-thanks, anon.
Harold Budd is the GOAT
Translucence and Drift music is great feeling/reading music. Particularly so late at night.

Will post a few more lesser knowns, I'm really getting into 80s/90s ambient works. Anything too New-Age like David Arkenstone is a turn off for me though.
