Ambient Music

[Carmelo]

I've been listening to Eno, Stars of the Lid, Biosphere and Esther Venrooy lately, good stuff.

this blog seems to have interesting stuff, but I've not explored it yet:

anyone have any recommendations?

[Jake Aesthete]

Eluvium

[Carmelo]

I'll try it, thanks.

Tim Hecker

Those two Fripp & Eno albums from the 70s are also wonderful, if you don't have them yet (recently reissued).

[Carmelo]

yeah Tim Hecker is great. Harmony in Ultraviolet is one of my favorites.

I also like the Disintegration Loops from William Basinski but not as much as some of the others.

I have that Eno album but haven't got around to listening to it yet.

Thanks for the reply.

[Eddie Spaghetti]

I tried Eno's "Music for Airports" which was surprisingly great.

[stack]

i think i'm one of the others you mentioned when referring to the disintegration loops--incredible. i also love: grazing amongst while pretending to be - freshly wrapped candies

[Carmelo]

by others I meant I prefer On Land, Music For Airports, Harmony in Ultraviolet, Substrata over it.

Really I haven't relistened to it since I got on my ambient music phase (its been about a year since I heard the loops), I'll start with #4 this week.

[G.M.]

How about Cluster & Eno? I listened to that one for the first time last night. Roedelius also has some good ones with Tim Story.

And Gas, if you haven't heard yet.

universal studios florida

(certain) m83
eluvium (listen to 'taken' basically)

also, maybe try 'a warm place' by nine inch nails. it's basically a cover of bowie's crystal japan. 'the big ship' might be the best ambient track eno ever did.

[Carmelo]

This is pretty great as well:

[Ally]

Very good album in my opinion. Although it's not 100% pure ambient but still great.

Ezekiel Honig
Peter Broderick
Sylvain Chauveau
Taylor Deupree

Sumner McKane
Stephan Matheiu
Goldmund

Have fun!

[Ally]

I really like this especially Goldmund really. Is The Fun Years a friend's band or something?

I listened to a lot of the bands. Nice.

No . Which song did you hear? This one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn9btgsF7MQ ?

Eluvium

This is the third mention of them in the last month. I like the guy's solo stuff too.

Hey Dave you probably won't like it, as I love it, k, thnx.
