Is anybody into this genre? It's got connotations with crappy new age music sometimes, but it's a far cry from relaxing nature music (even if artists involved in it are signed to labels that put out that stuff.) I'm talking about artists like: Steve Roach, Robert Rich, Alio Die, B Lustmord, and Ian Boddy (as well as early Tangerine Dream albums like Ziet and Pheadra.) |

Nah man, I don't like the mastering and the organisation of some of the sounds. What do you think? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what's your favorite lustmord record? |
||||||||
|
|

X'D |

|

hmm, forget it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
they are just teasing you. this is a good topic. please recommend a lustmord record to me. thanks. |
||||||||
|
|

My favorite Lustmord album is "Stalker", where he collaborated with Robert Rich. It's a very very dark, slow moving, tense piece. But it's never boring and there are moments of lightness and release....It's simply a brilliant atmospheric trip basically. |

this record looks pretty great! i've got to check this out. thanks |
||||||||

Wicked. Hope you enjoy it. In the right conditions it can be a pretty scary experience. A bit like the Silent Hill games for some reason. |

I love steve roach, i wouldn't really say its dark ambient, more like Tribal Ambient :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
One word: Deathprod. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, you're right; a lot of his stuff is tribal ambient. But albums like "Darkest Before Dawn" and "The Magnificent Void" is not tribal. If you haven't checked those two out, you really should. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Another word: Boxset. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Actually i really dont know much about the artists in this genre. I do hope that over the upcoming weeks and months that i will be freeing up space to check these things out. Alot of my time is crunched making new sounds. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
sorry to be a spammer... but I got some dark ambient stuff if youre interested... these are all rather old pieces of mine... working on new stuff at the moment... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Roach, Robert Rich, Alio Die, B Lustmord...they are not DARK ambient. And generally, Germans are best in dark ambient. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how do you define dark ambient? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have heard "Orchestralish Thingy" had can say that i like it indeed. I will be checking out your other works today. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
disagrees with you... i'm curious why you would make that assertion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, some of their releases are darker than others. "Fissures" is beautiful and very uplifiting in places, while Stalker is generally a lot more brooding and unsettling and mysterious. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Something to lead you to the right way (starting from the best): Thomas Koner Tho-So-Aa Yen Pox Troum |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wikipedia is not too competent in many domains, don;t you agree? They didn't even mention the essential dark ambient artists. LIsten to Thomas Koner, you will have a definition of dark ambient. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, fair enough. i am curious - i will find some thomas koner. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thanks a lot! I remember hearing a clip of Thomas Koner's but the name escaped me as of late. He's brilliant. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That mp3 is nice, got any more? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But I disagree: Yes, some albums by the artists I mentioned are not "dark" ambient, but many of them are. In fact, that's why I love those artists in particular, as their sound shifts from glorious uplifting moments to the depths of Hell. Zeus, I like your music! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i second the Troum and Yen Pox suggestions... and of course Deathprod's latest album is essential if you're into this sort of thing... some others that might fall along the same lines (although people seem to have a pointlessly specific definition of dark ambient which might not include all of the following, despite the fact that they play ambient music that is dark): Maeror Tri Stilluppsteypa Sigtryggur Berg Sigmarsson Brent Gutzeit TV Pow Zbiegniew Karkowski Mnortham Lasse Marhaug Minamo a lot of these artists are not exclusively dark ambient, but i reckon they come close enough... at times, anyhow (lots of Marhaug is straight up noise, for example, but his collab with Kevin Drumm might be applicable here...) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just wondering.. is there any music you haven't heard yet? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
always... and i feel very fortunate for this fact... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lmao, and deadeight, Maeror Tri Stilluppsteypa Sigtryggur Berg Sigmarsson Brent Gutzeit TV Pow Zbiegniew Karkowski Mnortham Lasse Marhaug Minamo how the hell did you ever find out about these artists! ;) I mean "Sigtryggur Berg Sigmarsson", c'mon! Will try to check it out though. |

What about Biosphere. Substrata is the best ambient album there is IMO. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
stars of the lid (earlier stars of the lid) mirror (www.brainwashed.com/mirror--excellent guitar drone duo, with releases on die stadt and their own three poplars) mark spybey, especially his album with james plotkin-a peripheral blur brent gutzeit and deathprod was mentioned, and i suggest those as well. lustmords a bit too "hey look at me im dark ambient" for my tastes, though he's got some great stuff here and there. |
||||||||

-> hei - laivoja ja junia . greatest stuff! |
||||||||
