chill out - the klf what about stoner rock? may some spiritualized or labradford |
||||||||

Yeh thought about Spirtualized - Whats the best album to get, ive seen one thats got a white cover with some face on it, like a girl with pigtails or summut, cant remember the name!! Is that any good? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've heard 76:14 is quite good. One of my albums to get. |
||||||||
|

you could try 'time machines' by coil. four long, deep pieces which are said to facilitate travel through time, and whose names are chemical formulæ for drugs. don't know if it really works ;) but i really like it. |

brian eno - music for airports |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd go for 'ladies in gentleman, we are floating in space'. it's their 3rd album (out of 4), its quite varied, unlike the 1st 2 albums which are quite like the spacemen 3 stuff (but also very good). its the album which looks like a pill box. you'll know what i'm on about when you see it. i think the album you're on about is the new album which the title escapes me at the moment. its still good but more straightforward and sensible. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ta for that, remembered that ive got 76:14 and its very good, recommended. I have most of FSOL's stuff. Will check out 'time machines' ta |

'Let it come down' is the name of that one with a face on it (just checked on cdzone!!). Is that their latest album? Gonna get 'Ladies and Gentlemen we are floating in Space' cool cover!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, "let it come down" is their latest. |
||||||||
|

if you're lucky you can maybe still get the ltd edition proper pill box paper edition complete with medication advice and pressout cd just like a pill! |

ladies & gentelman is a really nice album... but ambient?! If you go in there expecting ambient music, i think you'll be dissapointed. If you go in there with an open mind you might love it though :-) But you know, since you called the thread "ambient albums"... just thought i'd warn you ;-) While you're in the recordstore, see if they've got the limited edition version of "let it come down". It has a special 3d-package. Using some sort of an optical illusion, it looks like the girl's face is real... you almost feel like could touch it. Truly special, i gazed at it for atleast 15 minutes. Didn't buy it though, i've heard nothing but bad things about that album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Yeh i guess i started the thread with ambient stuff in mind - but ive got an open mind...so i'll give spiritualized a try. I heard tracks on the radio from 'Let it come down' and didnt like it, although ive seen the weird 3Dish! cover. v.cool |

i have 'a' ltd ed. of let it come down but its not 3d, its a solid moulded box, and the cd sits in the back, unles thats what you mean |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is the face of the girl sculptured into your box? Hollow... i mean... like the box was made of a soft material and the girl pressed her face into it, and now there is a print of her face left? like a footprint! (god, this is hard to explain). If light comes at it from below, it looks like the face isn't hollow, but it becomes a very realistic 3d-image. Try it, if you have the box i tried to describe there :-) Anyway, what is the music like? I'd buy it just for the box :-p If the music was anywhere near decent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's the one i have - yeah, i can see it a little bit but i've just gone & shone the torch in my eye now i can't see anything :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the albums quite good - but as i said its much more straightforward that the others, more song based. no 20 minute tracks etc. but its still quite good. you'll be lucky if you can still get the ltd ed. cd. you'll also very extremely fortunate to come across the special lyric card which also slots in the back with the cd but didn't actually come with the cd. you had to send off for it when you got one of those postcards from the single which preceded the album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok... thanks! If i ever should see the ltd ed cd again, i'll buy it without hesitation! I'd love to have that box standing on my shelf. And i guess some of the ladies&gentleman tracks are quite straightforward, and i still like those so... :-) With the right lighting you should be able to see the 3d-effect very clearly methinks. Once you've put the box somewhere (on a shelf or whatever) with the face of the girl facing forwards. Put a lamp very close to it, and aim the light so that it shines at her face from below. That's how they set it up in the store where i saw it, and it worked incredibly :-) |

what about spacemen 3? ive only heard one album quite some time ago and i didn't really like it that much. have you heard any? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nope. I know it's the band from which spiritualized stems, but i've never heard any. Actually i don't know a whole lot about spiritualized anyway ;-) I just bought the ladies&gentleman-cd one time when it was on sale for about 2,50 EUROS and i vaguely remembered it getting good reviews. It was more or less by accident, but i really liked the album! So far it's the only thing i've got by them. |

Irresistable Force / Mixmaster Morris does some of the best ambient stuff I reckon. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aqualite ambient???? If anything their Trance. As for a reccomendation, try Arovane, or see if you can get your hands on 'Concentrations' by Surfave 10. Those should do you just. |

yeah, you cant forget brian eno.. apollo, music for airports, discreet music shutov assembly, and on land are all great also look for the albums he did with harold budd ...'the pearl' and 'the plateaux of mirror' very nice indeed harold budd has some solo stuff also, 'the room' is the only one i've heard though i second the recommendations for rotor+ and stars of the lid too also check out lustmord.. really dark sinister ambient i'd also try set fire to flames.. its a more ambient side project of gybe also check out tim hecker and decal i havent heard as much as their stuff but it seems nice |
||||||||

oops.. theres supposed to be a comma between discreet music and shutov assembly |
