Anyone enjoy some ambient in the day/night? When and what
do you enjoy when you listen to ambient?

I love listening to Biosphere's Substrata when im really
tired or "burnt out" from whatever that night... beer, weed,
sex.. blah blah blah. Its so relaxing! When I go to mexico
after this summer with my girlfriend I can only imagine
listening to it while looking out the plane windows... oh
god.. bliss!

In the last couple months of my life, ive come to REALLY
like ambient music. Please.. share.

I have been listening to a lot of ambient music in the last
2 years or so, a lot of it from the kranky label. It's not
electronic ambient, but guitar drones and feedback, etc.

flying saucer attack, labradford, aix em klemm, stars of the
lid, windy and carl

if anyone's interested, I could list out some good tracks
and albums.

I like Biosphere as well ...

Biosphere is excellent, I first got turned onto them after
hearing their remix of Attalal on Download's Microscopic EP.


I tend to enjoy ambient music at night when all is quiet.
Just to drop a name i'll suggest some Lustmord.

I've found that my favorite ambient is from Brian Eno and
Harold Budd. I am also starting to get into a lot of
Lexaunculpt. Very peaceful stuff.

I think Biosphere's The Shield is one of the coolest and
most Sci-Fi tracks ever. I've been trying to get that
special noisy feel into my own music, but it ain't that
easy.

I love Ambient, I like to listen to it half awake/half
asleep through my headphones in bed. Substrata is also my
favourite. I like Ambient even better when I record the CD
to tape first, it makes the sounds softer and nicer. Give
that a try.

Some suggestions:
- Rapoon: Fires of the Borderlands
- Coil: Astral Disaster
- Brian/Roger Eno: Apollo

steve: lustmord has been a personal fav of mine for months
now good dark stuff. Im always looking for more, I only have
two of his albums. I want them all.... and there are lots.

I own a good amount of ambient these days.... and always
looking for more. Coil does some nice ambientish tracks.

Orb has some good ambient, SAWII is great ofcourse, Brian
Eno, William Orbit does some nice ones too. There is a
lot....

ive been listening to ambient a lot lately myself...
i listen to it a lot at night whilst lying in bed...but have
begun listening to it more often recently...

i actually just got harold budd's 'the room' which is one of
the nicest ambient albums ive heard in a while..along with
the stuff he did with brian eno..
another great ambient album i would recommend is rotor+'s
'aileron'...its not completely ambient...there are some
beats..but theyre pretty subtle and minimalistic

i listen to ambient and electronic music everyday, i
reccomend "Waiting for Cousteau" by jean michel jarre, its
47 mins of some of the best ambient music there is imho...
also good old Brian Eno and obviously Aphex Twin are
brilliant...

Listen to ambient music in the dark at night the atmosphere
just occupies the whole room ,,,,i think the idea of using
music to create an atmosphere or an ambience or focusing on
creating new sounds in the music is simply best described as
kick ass..
