I am fond of the squarepusher peices. There are more then I
knew about, once I went looking through all his songs...

Selection 16 and Maximum preist have some. They arent
anything like AMAZING. but they are just nice dark ambient
for background listening (hey, isnt that was ambient is all
about!?!?!) (ok not really, I like to concentrate on
ambient music, but its also good as background music)

also, and excuse me for spamming, its been awhile...

but I got 2 dark ambient peices up at My Zebox Page

one of them is a remix, and the other is an original

enjoy!

if you like SAWII, then check out Biosphere's "Substrata"

Another vote for Substrata.

yeah, substrata...
but get that double release-the one with "man with the movie
camera) included
these two really go along wonderful

what about Cold Meat Industries?

Substrata is beautiful indeed, but not much dark

yeah, biosphere is pretty decent. shenzou is an excellent
album. but i dont find his material that dark though, just
good ambient.

Aux Petits Enfants de France by Les Joyaux de la
Princesse

I always recommend that album when people ask for "dark
ambient" I also like Lustmord and older Delerium.

try stars of the lid..
some of their stuff can be very bleak
especially the first disc of 'the tired sounds of stars of
the lid'
'avec laudenum' can be too at times

also check out brian eno's 'apollo' and 'on land' ..they're
both rather moody

from the bits i've heard of the donnie darko soundtrack it
sounds like it'd be up your alley as well

and as mentioned several times before, lustmord makes very
dark ambient stuff

oh, and you should also look into phoenecia's 'brownout'
..theres beats, so its not completely ambient..but its very
dark and atmospheric

James Plotkin imo

most rapoon hits the spot- the fires of the borderlands is
the popular choice . . . i'm sure loads of hafler trio might
float your boat too.

And from a more British side for once - try Peter
Christopherson's new ventures: The Threshold HouseBoys Choir and
SoiSong, with Ivan Pavlov (CoH).

I never liked much of lustmord, but then he released the
BEYOND cd in 2009 and i find its more soft and atmospheric.
easily the best dark ambient ive ever heard.

i enjoy the soundscapes of that Plotik album you suggested,
then i wanted more and i stumbled upon a blog full of 'dark
electronics', and i gave a look at the cover arts. it's
strange when you like some music but you don't like the
images that the authors wants to evoke. i can't say i find
myself in a surgery room listen to this kind of sounds, nor
in company of a dismembered corpse.

dunno, that Plotkin guy has a death-metal background - and
yes i agree, this whole sinisterness thing is very
cheesy...

if you like the sound of this person though and don't mind
distorted guitars, i'd recommend you this which is
not ambient, but good, and also this which too is
decent, however pretty harsh.
