Ambient suggestions...
 

It's time for finals, I need some good stuff.

i would go eluvium- copia

even though its not ambient, its downtempo electronic and its quite good (id study to it)

or maybe carbon based lifeforms or brian eno. I don't know the genre too well so thats about the extent I know

Yeah Emancipator is sweet.

Hajsch - 1992

saltillo - ganglion

^ I can't recommend listening to Anechoic Chamber (which is free for download on the site) enough. Some of the most relaxing, atmospheric tunes released this year - listen to the streams at the very least.

Also second that Saltillo recommendation.

The Future Sound Of London - Lifeforms
The Orb - U.F.Orb

Also, these are more psy-ambient, but:

Shulman - Soundscapes And Modern Tales
Younger Brother - A Flock Of Bleeps
Bluetech - Sines and Singularities
Solar Fields - Extended

Thanks guys.

Stars of the Lid make some of the most beautiful music in the world, so they are a must.

What album do you suggest?

[quote=ATM;16945165]What album do you suggest?[/quote]

[I]Avec Laudanum[/I] and [I]The Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid[/I] are good ones to start on. I actually think that [I]And Their Refinement of the Decline[/I] is the best but opinion on that one seems to be pretty mixed.

brian eno never gets old

I second, third, and fourth that.

copia is cool, but some songs the melodies can be a bit fast and distracting, not slow and soothing.

i still love it, but idk

Ulver

This is very true.

How do people around here feel about Aphex Twin? Oh, and why hasn't anyone mentioned Sigur Rós?

The Field's 'From Here We Go Sublime'? Seems ambient enough to me. I would study to that.

Thats minimal, but yea, its ok to study to.

Thread needs more Raison d'Etre, Desiderii Marginis, Atrium Carceri, Herbst9, and Jaaportit.

My Mom got hit on by Brian Eno after a lecture he gave on the science of sound at the perimeter institute. Classy.

Also, Godspeed you! Black Emperor.

these are post rock.

Ambient: Steve Roach (Structures from Silence), Brian Eno (Ambient 1), Eluvium (Copa), Stars of the Lid (Tired....), anything by Biosphere but especially Substrata or Cirque, Numena by Robert Rich

Loscil - Plume
Bass Communion - I or II
The Dead Texan -The Dead Texan

Bass Communion - Molotov & Haze
Heavenly Music Corporation - Lunar Phase
Boards of Canada - Campfire Headphase

Cluster is a must.

raison d'etre is great, but most of his catalogue is extremely dark and depressing.

monster's ball is a good ambient sountrack.

vidna obmana, steve roach, & robert rich are all good artists.

and if you can find it, i recommend picking up jeff greinke's "cities in fog".

I'd second anything by Tangerine Dream, so seconded ^.

and I'll add Benjamin Finger and August Hell. all of which can be downloaded for free from [url]http://thatspunk.linustorvaldsfacts.com/#category8[/url] :)


edit:
also I'm uploading 4volt's catalog, which will definitely impress you all. he's one of the very finest ambient/idm artists out there.
