Atmospheric music?

[Aborted Fetus]

I'm in my mellow music mood right now and really digging atmospheric compositions, eg. film scores and such.

Does anyone here like that kind of stuff and have any recommendations for me? So far I've been looking at stuff on mp3.com and the like, and I really want more.

 

[Sadistik]

Puissance......will scare the shit out of you.

 

[S4R]

Xytras - Passage

 

[loudsilence]

Try Dargaard

 

[Lion in a Cage]

"Virgin Black - Sombre Romantic" and "Conan the Barbarian Soundtrack" are for you...

 

[bang]

diabolical masquerade - deaths design

 

[IcemanJ256]

Atmospheric.

Popol Vuh
Godspeed You Black Emperor
Sigur Ros
Silver Mount Zion

 

[Arch]

Try Rain Fell Within. It's atmospheric metal with female vocals.

 

[Eirik]

I second Sigur Ros

 

[IcemanJ256]

and Raison D'Etre

 

[Lion in a Cage]

What's "Godspeed you black emperor" like? I keep hearing about them but never had a listen...

 

[SoundMaster]

Great movie Soundtracks:
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Legends of the Fall
All Star Wars movies
Interview with the Vampire

Great atmospheric music:
Black Aria - Danzig
Black Tape For a Blue Girl - all releases
Xytras - Passage


But, the most atmospheric incredible band, EVER is:
DEAD CAN DANCE

d/l the following tunes:
"Hosts of the Seraphim"
"Windfall"
"Yulunga"

Thanks guys. To the people who mentioned sigur ros and GYBE, that's the kind of stuff I've been listening to already, as they happen to be some of the more popular bands.

But yeah, thanks for the recommendations. I'll check them out as soon as I can.

download the cd "as if to nothing" by craig armstrong. :

Dargaard is very cool, as already mentioned. You can d/l songs at their site, www.dargaard.com I believe.

Might as well look into Arcana then:

I really like the song "Innocent Child."

Also, maybe new Mortiis.

Some other not-as-atmospheric, but good softer subtle music:
Ketil Bjornstad's/David Darling's "Epigraphs"
Herbie Mann's "At the Village Gate"

Highly recommended.

 

[Tranquillian]

I can recommend bands like Ulver, Summoning, In the woods, Green Carnation and Agalloch.

 

[Morningrise]

Tau Nar Fuin (they have an mp3.com site)
Summoning
Old Path (also has an mp3.com)
Dargaard

I enthusiastically second every band mentioned here, except maybe Summoning as they can get very monotonous...

Though I haven't had the chance to listen to that cd, I have listened to a few songs, and this guy is awesome. Exactly what I was looking for.
