HAWKZ' AMBIENT/ELECTRONIC ADVENTURES

DOING THIS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY THIS TIME BROS. WHEN IT COMES TO GENRES OTHER THAN METAL I'VE FOUND THAT I CONNECT MOST WITH ANYTHING AMBIENT AND/OR ELECTRONIC ORIENTED SO HERE WE GO!

RECS CAN BE ANY KIND OF ALBUM ASSOCIATED WITH AMBIENT OR ELECTRONIC MUSIC IN ANY WAY.

...I Care Because You Do

Rec'd by bighubbabuddha

ANALYSIS: Starting this off with a fucking bang. Gotta admit I haven't jammed near enough AT but this is amazing. Very "fun house of mirrors" carnival kinda feelings with this one in the horror-esque synth work and eerie glitchy bits around every corner. Some icy industrial elements thoughout as well.

RATING: 4.4

Fragmenter Av Trolldom

Rec'd by garas

ANALYSIS: Sorry Garas bro, not digging this one:[ Not terrible DS but nowhere near as engaging as my favs of the genre. Kinda just plods along aimlessly imo and misses the "epic" component that makes DS so interesting.

RATING: 2.3

Rec'd by Johnny

ANALYSIS: At first I was kinda put off by the nearly 4 hour runtime of this 4 disc behemoth but thankfully it is chock full of extremely engaging glitchy/industrial ambient that makes you feel like you're on some type of top secret space mission. I mean fuck, 4 hours is a long time to jam one album and yet this never feels like it drags. This is truly awesome stuff. Good job Johnny boy!

RATING: 4.1
6Massive Attack
Mezzanine

Rec'd by mouldypigeon

ANALYSIS: An acid trip journey where your soul floats outside of your body as if you're on a cloud yet still in full control of your bodily functions is pretty much how this album sounds to me. Very mellow and ethereal with some fantastic vocals to fit the dreamy moods and psychedelic beats. Can't believe it took me so long to jam this lmao. Incredible album.

RATING: 4.7

If You're Into It, I'm Out Of It

Rec'd by Demon

ANALYSIS: This would be the perfect soundtrack for a journey to Silent Hill. Some truly suspensful and semi-terrifying droning ambient that creates an insanely claustrophobic atmosphere. Like something is watching you and ready to jump out from the shadows and grab you. And just when you think its all a dark abyss, you're hit with some more upbeat yet still dark sounding and minimal drum and bass beats that give you a light at the end of the tunnel.

RATING: 3.8

Rec'd by BitterJalapenoJr

ANALYSIS: Um excuse me, is this The Exorcist on acid and in music form?? Trippy psychedelic and horror inspired breaks, haunting glitchy bits and frantic, almost jazz like drumming make for one hell of an experience. This is like entering the fucking twilight zone and I absolutely love it.

RATING: 4.6

Rec'd by someone

ANALYSIS: Man this one is super duper chill. Took a few hits off my dab pen, turned this baby on and drifted off into these relaxing futuristic drum and bass beats. Very light and breezy IDM/ambient that makes u feel all warm and fuzzy inside! Someone is 2/2 on his recs on my lists so far!

RATING: 4.2

Rec'd by parksungjoon

ANALYSIS: Annnnd this album is continuing the chill and relaxing aspect of the previous rec! This one is way more minimal and glitchy and kinda reminds me of a soundtrack to an old school 80s/90s Nintendo 64 game. I wouldn't say this is anything truly groundbreaking, but it is a super enjoyable and mellow minimal techno(ish) album. The back half even experiments with some almost Stevie Ray Vaughan southern esque guitar work. Sick stuff.

RATING: 3.9
