yeah in that they're both useless and made up

you don't think ambient is a valid term?

[QUOTE]you don't think ambient is a valid term?[/QUOTE]
Traditionally no. It's a modifier that tends to have no real characteristic applied to it. Like a less irritating "progressive".

I understand the modifier thing when applied to certain genres is a bit iffy but idk how else to describe recordings of ambient sounds other then ambient music.

Well in such a case I don't really have a problem with it. It's in cases like our earlier "example" of ambient death metal that I get cheesed
