I don't really actively seek out ambient music to add to my library, but when I get an album that has ambient tracks on it, I can really appreciate it. Hopefully this thread can get me started on the genre, but I do have a contribution:

Glacial 1602 by Bass Communion

Half of this album (Molotov and Haze) is ambience and the other half is harsh noise, and this is the better of the two ambient tracks in my opinion.

Cerulean Crayons is a cool ambient/lo-fi project a friend of mine introduced me to. I haven't heard his first album but the second is really good, and he has download links for the full albums on the homepage

I was just looking through the top-selling vinyl releases on bandcamp and found this:

Migratory Patterns by Lowercase Noises

It's very nice and has set me on an ambient bender.

Question:
Can someone recommend some dark-but-not-super-dark ambient, like in the vein of Brian Eno's On Land? Kind of eerie but it doesn't have to be downright sour.
Fripp/Eno's Index of Metals kind of fits the bill too, but is a little more abrasive. I'm looking for the more distantly eerie quality of On Land.

You might like Bass Communion. A lot of his stuff is extremely minimalist or drone-y but he has some really chill dark ambient stuff, like Haze 1402 or A Grapefruit In The World Of Park. He has loads of stuff and I still haven't listened to a good chunk of it but I think he's worth checking out.

Anyone have any recommendations for similar sounds to Ark Patrol (https://soundcloud.com/arkpatrol)? I'm normally into more disco-style stuff but really digging some chill piano sounds lately.

Do you have anything else like this? it's really good
