You guys need to stop trying to make ambient Sup Forums core.

It's supermarket music for autists.

Great album, used to listen to it every night before going to sleep.

It's a grower. I think it takes a couple listens to really click.

who tf said we were

>Hans Otte - Book of Sounds
>Piano plays prettily
youtube.com/watch?v=U5310fFktbU
>Ekkehard Ehlers - Plays John Cassavetes
>Looped strings from Cassavetes, part of the Ekkehard Ehlers Plays collection of EPs.
youtube.com/watch?v=tOkeo5SeGcM
>Gavin Bryars - Jesus Blood Never Failed Me Yet
>A voice clip of an unknown beggar singing on loop, eventually played with a string quartet. The whole album goes on for too long, this version is from Gavin Bryar's Sinking of the Titanic
youtube.com/watch?v=E1lnSi7QWY8
>Terry Riley - Persian Surgery Dervishes
>Indian Raga on two electronic organs, very easy to get lost in
youtube.com/watch?v=sqQ59i4PmGE

My "to listen" list just got longer.

my favorite on the list is probably Gavin Bryars. I know a lot of people find that record to be tacky, but it's among the few songs to get me emotional

This album is beautiful

Oddly specific request. But I like how in the Ambient album Deep Frieze - SleepResearch Facility there is weird destorted walkie talkie chatter. Anything else like this?

This is the most pretentious thing I've ever listened to, dogshit ambient music

just posting this because it's my favorite chart I've ever gotten from Sup Forums

Everything that Kid koala has put out has been amazing. this is his most ambient album, although his early stuff with turntablism is sweet.

best ambient series album coming through

You clicked the wrong file. Here I'll just fix it for you

can someone rec me some /warmambientdrones/? something like stars of the lid but a little bit more organic and noisier

>ooh 9/11 ;(
infinitely more pretentious than this

does anyone remember, around the release of death grips' NLDW, there was some meme dark ambient album people thought could be connected with the ARG in some way. It had three tracks, and the last one was just a fake radio broadcast of a warning system talking about nuclear strikes imminent. That same guy put out a couple more albums shortly after that I didn't listen to IIRC.
can anyone recall what that album was called?

Rameses III - I Could not love your more

even though SAW 85-92 isn't exactly ambient, I"m wondering if you guys know any great albums that are similar to it.

also are there any ambient albums similar to Substrata and 76:14

i already love belong, their Colourloss EP is fucking insane.
do you know more projects like them? i already know semi-popular stuff like infinite body
thanks lad

What are your favorite instruments in ambient music?
I'm a sucker for deep bassy brass drones from euphoniums or trombones or the like. Low strings as well.

besides Jefre Cantu-ledesma? maybe this
youtube.com/watch?v=GYhXa3FLdQc
youtube.com/watch?v=MsDepTuPReg
or Motion Sickness of Time Travel, though I've only heard their S/t

Literally listen to Stealth by SleepResearch_Facility. It is exactly what you want.

Thank you.

been enjoying this quite a bit, feels like the album cover

youtube.com/watch?v=PoJKpE165_w

Will listen.

>muh autist bogeyman

>Ekkehard Ehlers - Plays John Cassavetes

jacking the beatles into a shitty loop, feels like getting coldplay injected into your veins. ugh

>listening to the beatles in the first place
shiggy

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.

Omg this is wonderful. I wish this guy would put out more.

>It's supermarket music for autists.
Surprised you didn't say it's music for housekeepers. Eh, getting creative?

Don't give him any credit.

enjoy

Nothing will top this as my favorite ambient album. And their refinement came close but I have like 200 plays on this hour long song

...

Is this like techno?

...

youtu.be/RgW1tvBHyMg

not him but i dont giv a fugg if its about 911 or not i just like the music

CBL albums are similar to SAW 85-92

pic related, different alias of Global Communication, it's ambient/techno, it's great

808 state - quadrastste was deeply influential on rdj's music back in those days

I wish he would make more ambient

youtu.be/sHEM-zK6WDY
youtu.be/b9XTfBQVKOM
and don't forget SAW Volume 2

That's his only true ambient album to be honest.

Black echo chamber.

What kind of ambient?

This thread looks great thanks for albums guys
Here's one of my favorites. Found it on Sup Forums on a birthday thread
Xerrox Vol.2

Currently listening to The Disintegration Loops for the first time. Halfway through "dlp 1.1" What does /ambient/ think?

Added to the list user.

youtube.com/watch?v=9RMZSU07gts

Thank me later anons.

kek

why is so much dark ambient awful, psuedo-cavernistic, voice setting on a midi keyboard, self indulgent tinny sounding trash?
i wish there was more stuff like pic-related

what is it

youtube.com/watch?v=JHqESy7ZbbY

thx

Worst TDL release

haha then i guess i came from reddit at the right time, i love ambient >;D

Serious question: why is Celer so much better than anything else?

Any other albums like the second CD on this?

Any /powerambient/ fans here? Saw someone two threads back. I like varied and reasonably quickly progressing ambient thats meant to be listened to loud and that will engulf you in a cozy but massive wall of fuzzy sounds.

This album is criminally underrated: youtube.com/watch?v=GzDzGNUMMwU

I also rec Tim Heckers later works, Roly Porter, Paul Jebanasam, Lawrence English (Wilderness of Mirrors or Cruel Optimism), Ben Frost (new album should be good judging from the new EP), Jacaszek, machinefabriek, Rafael Anton Irisarri, Witxes (Sorcery/Geography), Black to Comm (Alphabet 1968), Yellow Swans etc. Any recs in return?

>aotys 2017 in pic related. Pretty much all ambient

Jesus Christ thanks for this.
That second Cassavetes track destroyed me.
I love you.

Do you have a link for this ? I can't instlal soulseek atm and it's not in the archives.

You must not have heard SleepResearch_Facility

ban ambient from Sup Forums pls

D|P 3 is God-tier

What I own from Celer is amazing, but there's so goddam much to go through. It's far beyond overwhelming.

Use a filter and stop memeing before asking to ban /ambient/

some variety, haven't seen soundtracks much on these threads
