I need some music tips

Timbob · Post by **Timbob** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 12:02 pm

Lately i've been listening to a lot of ambianty music, and it's great background music while working in a noise workplace

So. I want more.

Stuff i like:
Biosphere. Especially his dropsonde album.
Stuff like Aphex twin's SAW II
Some of Bill Laswell and Tetsu Inoue's stuff (like Cymatic scan)
More of those gently flowing melodies with a hint of beat every now and then...

any recommendations?

Try...
Global Communication: 76:14
or
Brian Eno: Music for Airports

A few (but not all) of the tunes on Arovane's Atol Scrap are nice and sweeping

Anything by a bloke that goes under the moniker of 'Christ'. The name may be a bit naff but his album Blue Shift Emissions is fantastic.

The Kompakt Pop Ambient Series is always good to work to, as is Brian Eno's Music for Airports.

Some personnal recommendations:-
The Orb - Blue Room (40 mins)
Manuel Göttsching - E2-E4
Global Communication - Remotion
Can - Strange Days

thanks people.
I'm checking some of that stuff out.
Could take a while.. you can't rush ambient.

Been brainwashing myself to the ambient channels @ di.fm and soma.fm the whole day. Loads of good stuff there, although you probably already knew that. If you want really light and floaty stuff, listen to Ishq, he's great.

Normally I'm more of a psybient man myself, though. That stuff's just awesome.

SAW I is indeed better than II. Lots of nice chillax tunes.

Timbob · Post by **Timbob** » Sat Dec 15, 2007 4:33 pm
