Thanks to you guys i've bought several real ambient albums which i really love, and without xltronic i would never have heard of them. Like: Ulrich Schnauss - Far away trains passing by EU - warm math Baby Mammoth - Motion without pain Four Tet - Pause / dialogue Manitoba - Start breaking my heart Fridge - Happiness and of course every BOC album Now, likely, i want more like this. Can you give me some help? |

Harold Budd - Luxa Wagon Christ - Phat. Lab Nightmare The KLF - Chill Out Space - Space Cylob - Cylobian Sunset (not all ambient, but so great) |

isnt that fridge album the best??? i LOVE the wonderful lushness of it. |

I wouldn't really class that list as "ambient"... But if you like that stuff I'd recommend a couple: Casino vs Japan - Go Hawaii & Whole Numbers Play The Basics Populous - Quipo Everything on the Merck label |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
harold budd is amazing... get "ambient 2: plateaux of mirror" or "the pearl" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I saw him at the Big Chill in 1999, he was great, he's over 60 now I think...maybe even older...? |

yeah cylobian sunset is great. not very "cylobish" but, whatever...it's great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks all What is this Cylobian sunset album like? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would say a little bit like "I care becouse yo do..." If I must must say something. Not like his other "disco" tracks. |
||||||||

14:31 from 76:14 would be the friggin' greatest song if it weren't for that little gay sound from 2:17 that you hear often. |

try Susuma Yakota & Rothko - Waters Edge EP... i bought it on 12" a week or two ago, and its really beautiful |

Kieth Fullerton Whitman- Playthroughs (LUSH minimal drone... so beautiful!) Kieth Fullerton Whitman- Darmoth Street Underpass (an 18 min, unaltered recording from a subway station in boston, and then a interpretation track... of DSP he did with that audio. amazing as well) btw: Kieth Fullerton Whitman is Hrvatski. But TOTALLY different styles. His hrvastski alias is for the crazy glitchy drill stuff, and his real name alias is for the ambient stuff. |

anything by freescha - i just got "slower than church music" and its awesome - the best ambient you never heard of |

the Telefon Tel Aviv album is pretty ambient, i listen to that one a lot. some of my Coil stuff is ambient, and then of course there's the Warp nonsense that takes up so much shelfspace. i guess my fave ambient album released through Warp lately is the Req album Sketchbook. typically though i'm hesitant to buy ambient because it seems like an awful lot ($10-16) to invest in something you might get bored of. as long as i have a bunch of "active" music on my list ambient usually comes second. i'll check out some of the albums mentioned above though, thanks. |

i picked up reqs sketchbook in a used cd store for 5 bucks... its ok, but I couldnt really get into it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really would want that to be released on cd as well |
||||||||

i listened to it a bunch of times as background and it's fantastic. i've listened a couple times with headphones on and i enjoyed it but it is very repetitive. i think it all has to do with having the right context for appreciating it. |

did somebody mention casino vs japan? i'd have to agree that 'go hawaii' is well worth a listen. beautiful ambient techno (is that right?), distorted drums, sweeping synths, what more could you ask for? :) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Absoluuuutely greeeeat! :-) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i never thought of it as ambient...tho i loved colours and 3of4.....much of the album is background music tho... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, not strictly ambient, but then as you say, it's good background music too... |
||||||||

Funki Porcini - Fast Asleep. Christ - Pylonesque (less ambient than BoC, but a similair style, albeit more electronic sounding). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That would be 'The Moon And The Melodies'... great album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Funki Porcini - Fast Asleep. " this album is fantastic... really nice... I'm listening to it now, and I swear, it sucked every bit of stress and tension I had in me away... just fills me with such a tranquil feeling!! |

Biosphere and HIA....... birmingham frequencies. |
||||||||
|

Anything by Global Communications. Reload - A Collection Of Short Stories Chris Clark - Empty The Bones Of You is somewhat ambient, but either way, it's an amazing album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Yep! Biospheres Substrata is still one of my Favs. All Pole Releases (esp 3+R) are very relaxing. Its more dubby but still progressive. If you like old school ambient Id recommend Chi-original recordings by Chi. Its a dutch group form 1971 and they really was ahead of their time. |
