I would say it has to be pretty well much atonal and really not really musically at all. I don't really think Aphex Twin's 'Selected Ambient Works I' is ambient at all.
Anyone know of any good ambient sites? I'm in the mood for that kinda shit at the mo.

REad some thesis that Eno wrote on the subject, it's wallpaper music. Similar to lighting of a room, it's a mood not a statement.

Its funny I really kill for some ambient late a night, which I know is pretty standard. But there was a time when ambient was all I listened to but i only really seem to appreciate late a night and its rare to really be in the mood.

"It was a really beautiful experience, I got the feeling of icebergs, you know? I would just occasionally hear the loudest parts of the music, get a little flurry of notes coming out above the sound of the rain - and then it'd drift away again..."
good ol' eno, thats one of the best descriptrions of ambient music i've heard.

i want the CD reissue of Wendy Carlos' "Sonic Seasonings", possibly the very first ambient record ever, even predating Brian Eno by years. the CD version has not only the four 20 minute plus "seasons" tracks (which are incredible), but also two album outtakes and a bonus forty (!) minute song.
most people tend to know Carlos' work from a classical perspective, but this a couple other releases are true ambient records.

" music intended to be as easily ignorable as it is demanding. A minimal form of music based on timbre, texture and deliberate, somewhat randomly shifting structures."
> this refers more to lowercase music than to ambient to me...

the keyboardist in my band has everything king crimson has ever done, i will ask him about this...
and alot of people tend to lump other things into ambient like drone rock, which is more psychedelic, or atmospheric music, that isn't really music at all...just white noise.

yes, it is.
SAW 85-92 is not, like promo said, except for the song "I".....
I believe ambient music should be a texture of sounds that produces beautiful or even dark emotions through the soundscapes and atmospheres perceived by it.

even if it does have somewhat of a beat,
and promo, i don't think ambient should "not be musically at all" (?)......

I'm really getting into drones at the moment. People like Phill Niblock and Keith Fullerton Whitman. Im not too sure if it'd be called ambient or not.
Its a bit like IDM, theyre both single terms used to cover a large range of different music.
