This is more ambient techno than straight ambient, and even then, I'd put Tim Hecker's best over this.

No idea why this is peoples' favorite RDJ

Tim Hecker sounds... Nothing like this



And it's not my favorite but it's very slick and it captures the era of electronic music it came from perfectly while still sounding modern, everytime I put 'Tha' it's insta chill

Well yeah, did you read the comment I was replying to? Haha

Yeah, I get what you mean, but I just feel like his later work had so much more finesse and attention to detail. This is great, but stuff like RDJ album is stellar

I can always count on this and SAW 2 to calm me, never really vibed much with his later albums, expect Drukqs. "This is more ambient techno than straight ambient, and even then, I'd put Tim Hecker's best over this" not sure exactly how you came to that conclusion, and yeah I can't really see ever comparing the two.@chinesewhispers Another electronic artist that has fantastic attention to detail and layering is Amon Tobin, just listen to all the different nuances on this song dude it's crazy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDLGmCOhAfc

I haven't heard all of them (only heard this, Vol. II, and RDJ) but I love all 3. If RDJ is his worst LP then holy fuck

I rank his LPs pretty different than the general consensus though.





Drukqs > Vol. II > I Care > SAW I > Syro > RDJ

This has grown off of me quite a bit recently. I still return to around 3 or 4 tracks but the rest isn't sticking

definitely check out the rest of their discography when you get a chance. I personally think Tri Repetae is one of their worst records, which really speaks to their overall quality.
