is there any new stuff about u would describe as ambient? or are new tags like mellow/glitch etc sufficient. reason i ask is i dont hear the word ambient now much unless its about them cheesy ibiza cds i see on telly. but i know loads of people must still dig what would have been called 'ambient' a decade ago cos BOC sell loads of records (and lets face it while im talking like a twatty music journalist they are the 'new orb'). or maybe not but do i even have a point here? i was just thinkin with loads of people still liking it its weird theres no nights to go to. i know if someone did an ambient night round here i'd be straight down there. |

You mean Silence, not 76 14 I take it? :-) Well the mp3 is a compilation of 1-5, but I was just talking about no. 5 (I've got 1 and 2 as well, but not 3 and 4) Silence V is awwwwesome, especially (IMO) the final track, "Picnic" |

not neccesserily what you are looking for. not for -god i hate that word- "chilling" or for easy background muzak but maybe as a soundtrack for helplessnes to bring a grain of hope or not stars of the lid - the tired sounds of |

I have a crush on Fennesz-Hotel Para.lel at the moment. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
hmm what kind of music do you people actually mean when you are talking about 'ambient' music? i think of music without beats or strong rhythms or at least they are not the focus... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you know, chilled stuff. i guess there can be beats, just ambient beats. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
All of my list are v. chilled ;-) |

waaaa phat lab nightmare!!! top choice... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

I echo the recommendation about the Hawtin/Namlook From Within series. Also try Edgar Froese's non-Tangerine Dream stuff, like Epsilon in Malaysian Pale. A lot of people probably wouldn't think of it as ambient, but I'd also say Coil's Time Machines album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Phat. Lab Nightmare is possibly in my all-time top 10...even though I haven't actually got one.... ;-) |

Get back up there! :-) |
