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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u7RAic7sNM "I love hauntology" - me, watching Ghostbusters

I feel I should mention Oneohtrix Point Never here. OPN is Dan Lopatin, a New-Agey ambient musician from Brookyln who plays a vintage synthesizer called the Juno 60 (nicknamed Judy). He is also a co-founder and curator of the label Software, which has been putting out some great stuff recently. He has three main albums, each very different from the last: 1. Rifts  A 2 CD compilation collecting songs from various self-released CDRs, cassettes, etc. he had previously put out. The songs on these discs vary from relaxed, nostalgic synth soundscapes reminiscent of Boards of Canada, to bouncy arpeggio build-ups, and finally to long droning nightmare pieces. Throughout the whole album there is a sense of deep, abstract unease, as if the listener is trapped in a timeless digital purgatory. This tension periodically erupts into abrasive arpeggio explosions, before subsiding back into droning noise, as on highlight track "Learning To Control Myself". Example song 1: "Russian Mind" on YouTube (this unofficial music video is worth watching for the way it perfectly captures the aesthetic of this album, IMO) Example song 2: "Betrayed in the Octagon" on YouTube 2. Returnal  This is OPN's most relaxing and purely ambient work, once you get past the abrasive first track; a car wreck of crunchy noise, lasers, and horrific samples pummeling your eardrums for 5 minutes before melting away into gentle ambiance. Unlike the intimidating Rifts, this album is best experienced as a whole. Each track flows nicely into the next, and afterward you feel as if you've been taken on a beautiful journey. I often put on this album when I have a really bad headache, and feel the tension in my head drift away. This album's title track is Lopatin's first to incorporate his vocals, in a bizarre ode to the internet as a "self-atomizing machine". There is also a separate Returnal EP with a gorgeous piano and vocal cover of that song. Example song: "Where Does Time Go" on YouTube Stream the entire album: http://www.xlr8r.com/news/2010/06/stream-new-oneohtrix-point-never (don't say I didn't warn you about that first track) 3. Replica  This album is a huge departure from the last two, emphasizing beats and samples for the first time and de-emphasizing the role of the Juno 60 synth. As a result this is his least ambient album, but it has the most range of the three. The stoner sci-fi concept behind this album was to imagine what the sounds of our era, especially the disposable stuff like advertising jingles or "muzak", would sound like if it was pieced together by curious anthropologists in the far future. Hence the title "Replica". To this end, much of the album was created using samples from old commercials; little-sound bites like the satisfied "aaah" of someone acting in a soda commercial, taken out of context and cut up in often jarring ways. This album is at times haunting, silly, relaxing, caustic, and melancholy. Truly a unique listen. Example song 1: "Power of Persuasion" on Vimeo Example song 2: "Replica" on YouTube (official music video) Stream the entire album: http://soundcloud.com/mexicansummer/sets/oneohtrix-point-never-replica BONUS Check out this horrific remix Oneohtrix did of a Gonjasufi track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWAtAIDJH0Q And this simple "echo-jam" of Lady In Red: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RFunvF0mDw Lord Krangdar fucked around with this message at 18:56 on Apr 10, 2012 |

Kids fill the floor by Freescha has pretty much been my go-to album for when I just want to decompress entirely. The start of Every Shiney Night instantly triggers a primal sense of relaxation in me. I'm glad I saw those posts about Oneohtrix, I listened to a song of his on youtube once and it really put me off. The stuff thats been posted is really great, though. bomblol fucked around with this message at 08:35 on Apr 7, 2012 |

Everything that's on this label (Nekrophile Rekords) is really really really good. This album especially, half spooky synths, half funky tape loop/delay stuff. It definitely owes a lot to first couple Current 93 releases. I also highly recommend the compilations The Beast 666 & The Archangels of Sex Rule the Destruction of the Regime https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6SP7WlvtBg

I have been looking for more music of this type (dark ambient/noise I guess?) and found Viral symph0ny and really liked it. When looking around the only stuff I can find that is similar to it is stuff that is getting way more into industrial music and is, in my opinion, kinda stupid; stuff like "Genocide Organ" is not really what I am looking for. Anyone know some stuff similar to Viral? In case this is too off genre for the thread here is one of my favourite ambient songs lately, Disintegration Loop 1.1 by William Basinski.

Oh, how I love ambient music (when the time is right.) As has been mentioned, Eno's Music for Airports and Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works are wonderful. Lustmord does some really good dark ambient, very depressing. http://soundcloud.com/jazzcrisis/hyperion-ambient There's a track I created not too long ago. Picture a very stoned man twisting knobs in a trance and poking and prodding a washing machine, mic'd up and sent to a homemade reverb chamber.

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 end up going to Sphongleland by getting into this stuff, but if you want to stay clean then lots of British techno acts in the 90's were doing this kind of thing: FSOL, The Orb, Global Communication, etc.

Thanks for the recommendations - I'm digging them, and I can't believe I never heard Global Communication. I meant to mention that I'm familiar with The Orb, Spacetime Continuum and FSOL. They made for some very weird nights between 1993 and 1995. I took a long break from that whole genre for several years, and was thrilled to discover Shpongle a couple years ago. I've recently also gotten into Ott and other artists off Twisted.

You might already know it, but another really enjoyable album from that early 90s period is Every Man and Woman is a Star by Ultramarine. It's a little more active than The Orb's Adventures or Chill Out, but still has that open light sound to it. I've also been listening Ov Biospheres and Sacred Grooves by Psychick Warriors ov Gaia lately, which hasn't really aged as gracefully but is still a pretty neat chill out listen from the same era. edit: Speaking of PWOG, Coil's remix of Kraak owns eternally https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjyivlCeaq0 Dr. Video Games 0081 fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Apr 10, 2012 |

Yay, I was going to make one of these threads. I have a lot of music to explore now  Now we just need a thread for Electronica and downtempo (or can we put them in here?) I also make dj mixes that are heavily electronica/downtempo/ambient, but this isn't really a thread for that? Here are some of my recent favorite singles. These are more chill than ambient: Me3dian - Midsimmerhjoen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71JU0EsnYvw Me3dian - Radiant Plankton http://www.beatport.com/track/radiant-plankton-original-mix/1058949 (not on youtube) Aeronaut - Dominik Eulberg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6t9rFAF2fy4 Franz Kirmann - Liza (Charlie May Pacific Mix) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iumidei1GNc Epexor - Triphoppin' (Blue Neptune Remix) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=731mptMEgy8 Zakat Project - Yellow leaf http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nSK0h-uy8w Michele Cecchi - Waves Of The Evening http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKoah3Q7ue4 Deep Fog - Infinity Life http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiKst9whDJA mitztronic fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Apr 10, 2012 |

Someone already mentioned Woob, and if you like Woob (you should), I strongly recommend checking out the em:t compilations from the mid-90's, I believe one was called "explorations" and another "2000" or something like that. Lots of great artists like gas, miasma, woob, david toop, etc. All very organic sounding ambient and ambient groove.

Hey everybody. I just wanted to put in a few recommendations for stuff in the industrial orbit that might be pleasant for people in the thread. This whole Christoph Heemann album is amazing. This is the only track on youtube I could find but the whole thing is great, you should listen to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ckGPM9CuSs This Cyclobe album came out a couple years back and rules. Listen also to the track Replaced by His Constellation off The Visitors. I wish it was on youtube too!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1820v8SenPg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiiLCqWgVHw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPoW8yJx7wM This is maybe not ambient but I admire it so much.
