A question, what's a good starting point for Dark Ambient?

Dark ambient is bullshit but check out Thomas Köner's stuff.

That Phalangius track rules forever

Ha, I thought it was the other way around w/ Phalangius at least.

Danny Wolfers really is some kind of a musical genius. Whether he's making electro stuff or moody soundtracks for imaginary films, it's all really consistently incredible stuff.

I'm looking for more stuff like Chill Out by KLF. It has a very organic and natural sound. Don't take that to mean I'm looking for a "relax to sounds of nature" album - I like the trippiness of Chill Out, and I like heavily manipulated samples of conversations, speeches, and natural sounds.

I'd also like to find more stuff like this mellow track by Pop Will Eat Itself. I realize it may not fit in with most of the stuff in this thread, but it's still pretty chill.

You've probably heard Global Communication's 76:14 or have you?

I've heard many people refer to him as a lovely Boards Of Canada clone in the past, but Dive gets me even more relaxed than some Boards Of Canada stuff.

I don't think it has ever been BoC's intention to make relaxing music.

Do you guys know a good place to source and download chillstep or chillstep remixes of other stuff?

Check out Arctic Circle Radio's cloudcasts I guess. http://www.mixcloud.com/arcticcircle/

I have no idea what you mean by chillstep though.

I personally would argue that if you don't enjoy that, you won't enjoy anything else, because it's easily the best thing he's done. But that's just one subjective opinion.

I don't feel like you should be obligated to listen to the whole thing straight through though. Skip around a bit if you want. Art doesn't have rules.

Word, although I find Melancholia, 92982 and El Camino Real just as enjoyable as DL. They're certainly not as immense, though.

I remember in an old thread, someone had some recommendations for horror-ambient music - like, they sounded like the soundtrack to a trailer for a 70's horror movie, and I think one group was introduced as "the soundtrack to a snuff film". I want to say "PSYCHO" was the name of one of the bands, but it's hard to look them up. Does anyone know of any good super-dark ambient music or horror-ambient?

Svarte Greiner, Raime, Kreng and The Haxan Cloak should fit the bill.

Gnaw Their Tongues if you're looking for a psychotic angle.

It's de facto ambient. Why wouldn't it be...?

Solaris OST being released on vinyl Dec 10th through Invada.

Get up on what is guaranteed to be a limited release.

I'm assuming that's the remake which had a pretty good OST. Cliff Martinez is on point usually.

The score for the original Solaris by Eduard Artemiev was also reissued earlier this year I think.

Looking for guidance in navigating "minimalist" composers e.g. Philip Glass, Steve Reich, La Monte Young, etc., and there doesn't seem to be a better thread to look for said guidance than this one.

I've thus far listened to "Music for 18 Musicians" by Steve Reich and "Glassworks" by Philip Glass, the latter of which I especially liked. "Glassworks" is referred to by Glass himself as an intro into his work, but his discography is a bit daunting. So, I'm looking for what you Goons believe to be standout works of his, or any other must-listen minimalist stuff.

Check out Julius Eastman:
