Give me the best ambient has to offer, the créme de la créme. I haven't been able to stop listening to pic rel recently, more specifically tracks 1-3, so anything that sounds close to this would be a godsend. Otherwise, ambient recs in general are much appreciated.
Discuss ambient, post your favorite tracks/albums, let's get dissociative.

Just got Endless Falls on vinyl finally. Was the album that got me into ambient orginally, maybe 5 years ago now. Been playing it non stop
im assuming you've listened to his other stuff?
loscil is really good, particularly first narrows
I have, yeah. All good but not the same sort of melodic, breathing formlessness I'm craving.
Checking out Loscil's First Narrows now, thanks
no problem! hope you enjoy it
>specifically tracks 1-3
why do you exclude track 4?
It's such a simple receipt to making great ambient music
Put only so much progression and variety in your music that it won't be boring. Nothing more or less.
>4/4 beat
4 is a great piece, I love the whole album, but the non-rhythmic pieces entice me the most. 5 and 6 also feel more stagnant, not as much by way of melody
First Narrows is great! Loscil really is a good rec
Really I should say "less-rhythmic", as all music has rhythm, but the unstructured rhythm is what I'm after
I'm a fairly big Biosphere fan, especially his album 'Dropsonde', which is almost like an ambient album fused with nu-jazz percussion.
My favourite track is track 2 'Birds Fly By Flapping their Wings ': youtube.com
Biosphere is comfy as hell. Check out CBL for a similar rec
Thoughts on this? Is this even ambient?

OP have you heard Konigsforst by the same artist? If you like Pop you will probably love it.
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress:
5+ hours of curated true ambient. Hope you guys enjoy.

Finally someone posts a thread relevant to my interest, and there is hardly any dialogue going.
Ambient elements but I wouldn't consider this true ambient.
just like ambient LMFAOOO
ermm, I personally really enjoy The Sight Below and Yagya. Similar to Gas - though more on the ambient techno side of things rather than pure ambient.
Try Windy & Carl as well.
To me, true ambient music should have no drums and no melody. The best ambient doesn't have a traditional time signature either.
Try this one

bahaha! that was clever. Check out Shuttle358's optimal.lp my good sir, I think you may like it. If you have Spotify, check out that playlist up there.
Btw, what do you guys think of the current state of ambient music? It's become something I listen to daily. Who do you consider to be the most visible artist within the genre today? (Besides Eno)
This is an excellent playlist user.
Paul Jebanasam - Continuum

>more specifically tracks 1-3
go back to pleb ville
Anyone know of any ambient similar to GY!BE's ambient sections like with harmonic drones, samples etc.
Also this album is pretty fucking good especially empire systems
Bump
The KLF - Chill Out
Brian Eno - The Shutov Assembly & Ambient 4 - On Land
Rudy Adrian and Ron Boots - Across the Silver River
Bring the hate.
You ever listened to Steve Reich?

Yeah I've listened to MF18M, MFALE and different trains before. Wasn't too keen on 18 musicians but liked the rest.
Enjoying it so far
Cheers for the recs lads
Is there hate for this? Is it just too well known for ambient elitists?
I don't know either; it's a very good album

these are all great, thanks for reminding me again about tim hecker and Iasos. You ever listen to the Hearts of Space radio show?
Can't say I have friend but I've been listening to Ambient music for a very long time and have played some on the radio before. I'll give it a listen though
Bump
My absolute favorite thread, I love this place
Still looking for more stuff like October Language and Tim Hecker's incurably optimistic! Ambient where theres lots of noise laid over a simple repeating drone where it comes out wonderfully emotional
I've been listening to this playlist for hours now. Thanks for this. I like that Laraaji guy, hadn't heard him before.
Dark ambient anyone?
Oh shit boi
OP here and I left this thread for a while, loving the first track already user. Many thanks
I'm hoping this is a joke and I'm being meme'd upon
superstorms - superstorms
infinite body - carve out the face of my god
dead letters spell out dead words - fall, fall, falling
black swan - the quiet divide
>listening to 79ºS 83ºW on this and a plane flew overhead
>audible doppler effect that matched pitch with the music right at a chord change
>Stone in Focus finally has an official digital release
bless you
I'm happy to see Ambient finally getting a foothold on here. The genre is growing.
Dude, where? Don't fuck with me like that..
Sleep Research Facility - Deep Frieze and Dead Weather Machine
eh, there's also about a million obscure ambient artists and a billion low effort unremarkable releases, it's kind of impossible to navigate
see also blackhumour, who does this style almost exclusively:
This thread needs more field recordings:
bump pls
Any ambient with drums and singing?
Biosphere is good, love this one he did with Deathprod, definitely embodies full on relaxing ambient and is very underrated imo
...
...
and of course, the greatest ambient album of all time:
>14:31
That's too rigid.
reccing W&C, I love them
>not editign stone in focus into SAW II in your music library years ago
nin looking cover

so why do |YOU| like /ambient/ \senpai\?
Anyone feel like taking this ride with me?
It's music down to it's purest form. It makes you really come to grips with why we listen.

Why don't you give us a reason?
u-uh
i asked you first ||bro..|||...
For me, it opens up this almost hypnotic state that almost no other music offers me. I don't know how to explain it, but it's like I can get lost in the sound, and at the same time my mind can wander anywhere. There's a clarity of thought there, and also a sort of comforting drift, at once independent of each other and connected.
...
Honest question.
Are you all pretenders?
Is this genre a meme?
this girl's music was recommended to me on spotify like 2 years ago and im still hooked, check out her little album/ep, shallow, she did a while back, comfy as fuck and it sucks shes been inactive for a while
not a meme, just a bad reputation
>muh its just the same sound for 10 minutes
>muh im bored already
>not real music
>wheres the song?
i guess its an aquired taste
listen to laughing stock on low volume and thats as close as you'll get
either that or just listen to shoegaze or soft jazz on low volume, user
space biosphere is best biosphere

It's not that hard to imagine seeking out music that creates an atmosphere, sets a mood, isn't intrusive and/or can work as background music
this
I'm only 18 so it probably explains my confusion. Best album to start with?
The album in the OP is probably a good place. I started out with stuff that could be seen either as more immersive or more boring, like Steve Roach (check out Structures from Silence for instance)
Brian Eno (check out ambient 1, 4 or apollo) and Stars of the Lid (check out music for nitrous oxide) are two other classic ambient artists
Grouper's AIA is another p guud start and Pausal's Lapses is a good one if youre interested in softer drones
>aphextwin.warp.net
I wish this was on Spotify :(
Tangerine Dream - Phaedra was my introduction
Such a great album.
I prefer Timewind these days.
