But the podcast page says they got a set from the guy, so I'm assuming they are all his own tracks. Unless it's something he whomped up specially for them, I'd also assume they're somewhere on his own page.

Muslimgauze is really good. It's good for exercising since the beat is so strong. I'd call it ambient but it's a very driving, heavy handed ambient. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YxQUTVFJ_s i've listened to this a ton

Those first four Orb albums are so good but I think Orblivion might be my favourite. Maybe a tie with U.F.Orb. It's a shame they fall off Cydonia going forward. I'm doing a discography binge and I'm going to see if there's anything special about their lesser popular albums.

What do you call this music genre? Looking for something that would help me track down music similar to it since "experimental" or "ambient" is too broad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlzD-ecFUtE

I would maybe file it under minimalism or glitch adjacent? I tried looking at Ishkur's guide (https://music.ishkur.com/) but he doesn't break ambient down enough to really get to a perfect answer. If anyone has a better idea I'd be interested, too. Because I really like that style. Reminds me a bit of Clark.

My guess is that the ridiculous amount of unauthorized sampling all over it is what's cratering the streaming. Their U.F. Off compilation is similarly neutered, and the version of U.F.Orb that has the 40 minute "full" version of Blue Room is nowhere to be found.

That's because the 39:59 version of Blue Room was only released as a single. It was deliberately made that length because if it was 40 minutes long it would be classified as an LP, and they wanted to get it into the singles chart.

What was that scene like in '95? I mean, was it a huge venue or just a small room in Atlanta? Did they have any Visuals or was it just strobes and those two dudes with some gear? Was Fehlman still with them then? My memory is super muddy from that time, but was that when MTV was starting to jump on the "electronica" train and Chemical Brothers blew up in the mainstream? I was working at a record store in the burbs around then, but probably only knew of The Orb from "Little Pink Fluffy Clouds" because it was everywhere.

I was working at a record store in the burbs around then, but probably only knew of The Orb from "Little Pink Fluffy Clouds" because it was everywhere. They played at the Masquerade, which was the biggest venue in Atlanta that wasn't a major arena type space. Wikipedia says the main concert area held 1,000 people. A band like Chemical Brothers would have played there back then. It was where most "alternative" acts played in Atlanta (I saw Ween there in 1994, another highlight). The Masquerade had three levels consisting of Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory. Heaven was where bands would play, Hell was a dance club, and Purgatory (if I recall correct) was more of a pool hall/lounge type bar. Oddly The Orb played in Heaven instead of Hell. I saw a ton of shows in Heaven but I never had reason to go into Hell or Purgatory. I was tripping the night I saw The Orb so my memory is pretty fuzzy and I'm not sure of the personnel that night or if there were much visuals aside from the lights of the club. Most of the electronic stuff I was into back then was pretty mainstream as far as the scene was concerned back then - acts like Rabbit in the Moon, Chemical Brothers, 808 State, Orbital, The Shamen, The Orb, Future Sound of London, Pop Will Eat Itself (and a bunch of industrial stuff like Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, Pigface, Thrill Kill Kult, Skinny Puppy, and so on). Two or three years later, starting around 1997 the jungle scene really exploded and everyone was listening to that stuff. That's when I started to go to raves and I was listening to nothing really except jungle music. Breakbeat was big too and we would get cool acts from Florida coming up to Atlanta like DJ Icey and Baby Anne. me your dad fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Jul 2, 2020 |

The live version of halcyon with the bon jovi/belinda carlisle mixing is pretty fun. My fav is still “The Girl with the Sun in Her head” only because it instantly transports me back to listening to it on long bus commutes during summer work terms on my discman.

I spent a lot of very weird nights in high school listening to Live 93 and Lifeforms (and ISDN) by Future Sound of London. I've probably listened to Lifeforms five times now and I've grown to like it as someone who just had it on in the background and let it wash over me the first time I listened. That live version of Little Fluffy Clouds is transcendent too. Might hav to find Live 93. priznat posted:I thought The Orb and Orbital were the same for an embarrassing length of time They gelled together in my head when I first started listening to more ambient music but after I spent some more time with them both and realized the Orb was more ambient space techno with lots of dub influences and Orbital is a more poppy and eccentric kind of techno leaning into ambient atmospheres they were distinct. On the Orbital note, I really like the Brown Album and In Sides. I will continue to binge these guys although I'm past Middle of Nowhere now and I hear that their works fall off from there.

The people who told you that are listening through rose-tinted hearing aids. After Middle of Nowhere you had The Altogether, which had mixed reviews but is generally consistent; the excellent Blue Album with its capstone One Perfect Sunrise; Wonky, which was written with live performance in mind; and Monsters Exist, which is blighted by Brian Cox but otherwise mostly suffers only from having too many climaxes.

not sure if there are any old Chill Out Zone fans here but I thought I'd share this link I've had for ages - someone made a database of a bunch of playlists from MTV's Chill Out Zone broadcasts from 1993 to 2017 when the last broadcast aired. It's an absolute tome of classic and authentic playlists, I've started to dump a lot of them to Spotify for quick listening and it's a blast MTV Chill Out Zone Playlist Archive

It looks like Paul Hartnoll of Orbital is going to be curating a series of their live gigs, one a year from 1990. I don't know far he plans to go, but it's going to be a fascinating look at the evolution of EDM. Here's the two aired so far; 1992 has been promised, it will probably be in a couple of weeks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdXlnQRFYfA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flTgXHI-Ynk

Seeing Orbital live was one of the loudest shows I've ever been to, surpassed only by My Bloody Valentine. They were even louder than Mogwai, for god's sake. I have a very special relationship with FSOL and Orbital. When I was 15 - 16 in 1996, the genre of "electronica" was blowing up. I remember hearing FSOL's "Cascade" and that was my anthem for the summer. That and Orbital's "Halcyon and On and On". How I found out about it, though: one night in my parents basement, on the internet on our dial-up connection, I found an open FTP server that had a few mp3s that one could download via hyperlink. That's how I found out about Orbital and FSOL and Underworld - all at once. gently caress, that was such an amazing experience! To be ushured into this new music that was, coincidentally, sweeping through the zietgiest. Somehow FSOL's "we have explosive" managed to be on every goddamn soundtrack for movies or games during that time. Papa New Guinea, Accelerator, cascade (I bought the CD single, which dissected it across 5 tracks and owns), Lush and Adnans, The Girm With The Sun In Her Head, just so much. Shortly before this, or during, my group of friends also got into the Prodigy, and seeing them live in 1996 was an experience. I just have incredibly fond memories of that time - like being stoned in my parent's basement (I didn't normally smoke weed at the time) and hearing "Dirty Epic" for the first time? Amazing. Years later, I moved to SF and I friend of ours, who was a dance music DJ in the mid-90s, decided he didn't want his records anymore. He sold me a big record storage tower as well as a ton of his records for a blanket 100 bucks, which I know he knew was cheating himself, because that's how I got, among other things, FSOL's Dead Cities, Underowords Second Toughest of the Infants, autechre's tri repetae, Orbitals In Sides, Death In Vegas's Dead Elvis, and a TON more albums and 12" singles all on vinyl. That's my post on fond ambient music memories re: 90s dance music. It still resonates with me today.

Ambient music is nice for intensive study and the youtube algorithm has blessed me with Takashi Kokubo. He started making music in 1980 and his last track was in 2014 which is quite impressive. Anyway, I would suggest "The Day I Saw the Rainbow" from 1993. The cover art is also really beautiful on all of his records which really adds to the experience. I don't think I'm allowed to link it buy you'll know if and when you find it.

The KLF, largely missing from Spotify, recently reappeared with a new re-release of some older songs (dance stuff) and now they've released a different version of Chill Out, which is way up there in my favorite ambient albums. https://open.spotify.com/album/4fBvkZkBuPyo3k7ZogKFAo?si=W5a0gUd4TGGewnk_dvgTNg It's now called Come Down Dawn and it's nearly the same as Chill Out. Some of the samples seem to have been removed, presumably due to licensing issues. It's great to have the album somewhere other than YouTube so I can live with the missing samples.

Yeah, all the Elvis stuff. That's a real shame if you ask me. I can't imagine wanting to listen to a version without that, but I guess the hope is that it will expose new listeners to the album.

Since they released Tomorrow's Harvest in 2013, they have released two remixes. Also the Peel Session with the XYZ track included. Also the mixtape they did for the Warp 30 year anniversary. That's plenty, give the bro's some slack.

Hello this is also me and I wore the tapes of all these down to nothingness. (although I always preferred dead cities over isdn) Albumoftheyear suggested Tripping With Nils Frahm and I quite like it.
