AMBIENT

Sup Sup Forums

Really getting into ambient lately. Hook a pleb up with some truly good ambient. I'm really a noob to the genre so recommend anything.

Bonus points if I can fall asleep to it.

not all ambient drones on forever

here's some good entry-level sleep-core ambient:

NASA Voyager Recordings - Symphony of the Planets
Brian Eno - Ambient 1
William Basinski - The Disintegration Loops
2 8 1 4 - 新しい日の誕生
Robert Rich - Somnium

got you, senpai.

brian eno music for airports is essential,
then check out SAW II from Aphex

Brian Eno (obvious is obvious)
William Basinski
Laraaji
2 8 1 4 (vaporwave ambient)
Huerco S.
Eluvium
Chihei Hatakayama
Marconi Union
Biosphere
Windy & Carl
Grouper
Shuttle358
Max Richter

Start there.

You'll love this dude!

Grouper has a bunch of great albums, she's very consistent:

A I A: Alien Observer (most popular)
Dragging A Dead Deer Up Hill
The Man Who Died In His Boat
Ruins

All 4 of Gas' albums are great if you enjoy ambient techno (ranked from personal favorite to least favorite):

Zauberberg
Pop
Konigsforst
Gas

First three episodes of season 5 are fucking great

Steve Roach's Structures from Silence is pretty much entry level for anyone, but I came up to the conclusion that Structures from Silence is the logical conclusion to ambient. So if you haven't listened to it, try it.

Adding to Gas because it might be helpful-- all of his albums are very forest-centric. This motif is especially apparent if you listen to Pop.
If this theme is attractive to you, you might want to check out Pop first.

This is my favorite sleepin' album

So did you like the new Samurai Jack episode OP?

Not sure if it's strictly ambient, but a great album with ambient bits anyways. Best listened to in one sitting. I find it relaxing as fuck to just kick back, space out, and just kind of fall into this album.

Secede - Tryshasla

I thought it was great. You?

I thought it was okay, tried not to hype it up too much so I wouldn't be disappointed. Hoping they don't force the flashback thing down our throats in later episodes. I like where it's going though.

I'd recommend Hiroshi Yoshimura if you want some new age type ambient. Someone put up his discography in a sharethread a while back. and all of his stuff is great, but check out Green, Music For Nine Post Cards, and Air In Resort.

btw OP, not the guy who posted this, but you shiuld really listen to Black Earth, it's the first album I listened to from this chart and it's oretty amazing.

This one is superb.

i really like that album too. nothing quite like it

How the fuck has Tim hacker not been recommended yet. Ravedeath and virgins are essential

prob because he doesn't exist :^)

He's on this chart

Check out Nonkeen - The Gamble

Amazing synths/rhodes

>First three episodes
W-what?

went to a pre release screening

Oh, so there aren't leaks?

no, not to my knowledge.

Ultimate sweet dream initiators.

this so much

give "biosphere - substrata" a listen

among my favs, very accessible, very picturesque

little taste of it:

youtube.com/watch?v=5Q-u_tIzJAY

this is solid, but idk if id call it ambient as much as electronic

...

Seconding this, underrated album. Nils Frahm collab'd with friends to make it I believe

Something about this album's cover art really captures the tone of it. Guaranteed would have been less enjoyable if it was something else.

>when you don't even remember listening to an album
>it has +60 plays

pic is my favorite album to sleep to

Max, if this is you then you have to stop posting.

here's some of my favorites op

+ pop by gas forgot it

requesting omenya ancient rites

+ Tim hecker

Where does ambient music become electronic?
It seems ambient is more of a quality than a genre and it's pretty loosely defined

hey ambientfags

youtube.com/watch?v=6IbcB0GSypo

is this ambient? any stuff like this?

I'd argue electronic is a lot more vague of a genre description than ambient.

That's very true. My question was more about what makes an ambient track ambient? Most genres have influences, cultural backgrounds or history, what would that be for the ambient genre?
