Ambient?

[Master_Yoda77]

I'm looking for some ambient music. I currently have Biosphere, Project Divinty, Brian Eno (Apollo only), and Tetsu Inoue (World Reciever). I really would love to get into this stuff, but I really don't know where to start. I could use more recs from bands mentioned, or new ones.

Also. Which Boards Of Canada albums should I download?

Thanks a bunch.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Atrium Carceri
Raison d'Etre
Lustmord
Halo Manash
Aeoga

my project - On Earth
Also check out my myspace friends, there's a lot of good ambient in there.


As for which BoC to get, I'd recommend Geogaddi and Music Has The Right To Children.

 

[Einherjar86]

Some of Ulver's later stuff is pretty ambient.

Music Has The Right To Children, all of them are great though.

Lots of the bands mentioned are cool. You might be interested in Nadja and The Angelic Process, they're both pretty dark and metal influenced ambient/shoegazey kinda shi.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Thanks everyone.

 

[Mort Divine]

Olhon - Sinkhole

 

[unknown]

when I saw the thread title, first thing I thought of was Biosphere...glad you already have that covered

definitely check out everything Killbot rec'd. Also look into Deathprod...I believe he may have done some work with Biosphere

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Thanks everyone. I am well on my way to downloading all of this.

V5-->What Raison d'Etre album do you rec? They seem to have a lot of stuff.

 

[unknown]

Apres nous le Deluge and Requiem for Abandoned Souls are both great Raison d'Etre albums

if you can get your hands on it, Nothing's Silence Came In Filling Jagged Spaces is excellent

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Thank you all so much.

 

[Vilden]

Best Raison d'Être album is Within the Depths of Silence and Phormations imo.

BTW, I got the feeling that you are looking for more ambient electronica, like Klaus Schulze or something? (Not familiar at all with that style so I just guessed from looking up some of the artists you namedropped). Because lots of recs in this thread is dark ambient which isn't all that similar really. But if you want dark ambient I can give you some recs too.

 

[The Ozzman]

Burzum - Hildskjalf

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Oh. I don't really have a preference for what ambience. I love the Dark Ambient that I already have. I just wanted all kinds of ambient recs.

And I already have Hiloskjalf. Just listened to it last night.

 

[Vilden]

Oh well then, here are some recs I don't think have been mentioned. :>

Tor Lundvall
Kammarheit
Desiderii Marginis
Djinn
Gustaf Hildebrand
15 Degrees Below Zero
Dark Water Memories
Northaunt
Ulf Söderberg
Gruntsplatter
Blood Box
Svartsinn

 

[Phrozenspite]

Zoat Aon
Pulsefear
The Protagonist
Foundation Hope
Letum
Archon Satani
Sephiroth

I'll second
Gruntsplatter
Desiderii Marginis
Atrium Carceri
Raison d'Etre
Lustmord
Halo Manash

I'd recommend avoiding the Metal influenced/produced "ambient" work... it usually shares little with the actual genre

 

[Jimm O)))]

Byla
Pulsefear
Lotus Eaters
Sleep Research Facility
Deathprod
Current 93
Spektr (actually black-ambient)

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Good lord. I don't even know where to start...

But I have heard Spektr before. I guess I'll give them a download.

Thanks again.

 

[Vitor]

try loreena mckennitt and ozric tentacles

 

[Melodeath]

I second Helios and Eluvium

Add Jaaportit and Carbon Based Lifeforms
