List Is Ambient
Title. |
| 1 |  | Brian Eno Ambient 1: Music for Airports
We begin... at the beginning. |
| 2 | | Eluvium When I Live in the Garden by the Sea
Bitches listed this as an LP. Contains some classic Tom Hanks in "As I Drift
Off". Really moving, among the best Eluvium's done |
| 3 |  | A Winged Victory for the Sullen A Winged Victory for the Sullen
Reviewed. Maybe one day I'll make a list without this album. |
| 4 |  | Jacaszek Treny
Sweet. |
| 5 | | MONO / World's End Girlfriend Palmless Prayer / Mass Murder Refrain
Violin + Piano = happy Stranger. |
| 6 |  | Olafur Arnalds Eulogy For Evolution
More "classical/ post-rock which is effectively ambient because genres are
allowed to overlap since listing a 3-d spectrum with 2-d categories does not
work" *breath* |
| 7 |  | Stars of the Lid The Ballasted Orchestra
Drooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeee-
mmmmmmmmmmmmmhmmmmyeh. |
| 8 |  | Natural Snow Buildings The Dance of the Moon and the Sun
DroooooooooooooFOLKooooooooooooACOUSTICooooooooooooFOLKooooo
ooooonnnneeee. |
| 9 |  | Richard Skelton Landings
Reviewed. Really atmospheric folk-ambient, recreating the lonely woodland
of northern England. |
| 10 |  | Carbon Based Lifeforms World of Sleepers
Not so much woodland as tropical rain-forest. Acid influences and
environmental soundbites ("what about the forests?") strewn all over the
place. Good stuff. |
| 11 |  | The Future Sound of London Lifeforms
1/2. |
| 12 |  | Solar Fields Leaving Home
Reviewed. A journey through outer-space where you skip all the parts in
between the awesome. |
| 13 |  | Benn Jordan Pale Blue Dot
Similar to above, but goes about it in a more traditional drone way. |
| 14 |  | Helios Eingya
Look at the album cover, that's what the album is like. |
| 15 |  | cssc The Lonely Robot
More nice and warm and fuzzy and friendly ambient. |
| 16 |  | Tim Hecker Harmony in Ultraviolet
We are not worthy. |
| 17 | | Emeralds Does It Look Like I'm Here?
Dunno. |
| 18 |  | Ott Skylon
Psybient time!!one! Amazingly relaxing, and goes down well with the
wannabe-rasta crowd. Creeps in a bit of dance in places, which surprises. |
| 19 |  | Shpongle Tales of the Inexpressible
Moar psybient. |
| 20 |  | Aphex Twin Selected Ambient Works 85-92
Getting all the classics out the way. |
| 21 |  | C418 Volume Alpha
Been plundering in to soundtracks recently, some great stuff has come up. |
| 22 |  | Clint Mansell, Kronos Quartet & Mogwai The Fountain OST
Let's be honest, it's a stretch to call this whole album ambient, but just
know that if I dies during "Death is the Road to Awe" I probably wouldn't
notice. |
| 23 |  | Wendy Carlos A Clockwork Orange
For when things go all horror show, brother. |
| 24 |  | Akira Yamaoka Silent Hill 2
Speaking of horror. |
| 25 |  | Atrium Carceri Phrenitis
Oh shit oh shit oh shit hidehidehidehidehidehide! |
| 26 |  | Kreng Grimoire
Is it safe to come out yet? |
| 27 |  | Lustmord Juggernaut
Nope. |
| 28 |  | The Future Sound of London Dead Cities
Easing out now. It's too good to hide yourself away from. |
| 29 | | Nicolas Jaar Don't Break My Love
Still on edge, things are getting more active now though. |
| 30 |  | Oneohtrix Point Never Returnal
Now this takes a lot of time to wrap your head around. Worth it though. |
| 31 |  | The Caretaker An Empty Bliss Beyond This World
Take 20's dance hits and make them creepy. His artist page tells me he has
a new release out this year, will be jumping onto that when this list is
done. |
| 32 |  | Secede Bye Bye Gridlock Traffic
Reviewed. Some really warm, subtle brilliance from a pretty young guy.
We're talking almost AFX levels of expertise. |
| 33 |  | Kettel Whisper Me Wishes
Classical/ techno/ ambient. The ratings are mostly bare for this guy, if
you're into your The Flashbulb/ Aphex Twin/ anything on this list you'll love
him. |
| 34 |  | Bluetech Sines and Singularities
Maybe an little bit too fast, but fuck it. |
| 35 |  | Fennesz Endless Summer
Tim Hecker-like. Maybe with a tiny bit less heavenly aura around it though. |
| 36 |  | Hammock Chasing After Shadows...Living with the Ghosts
Spectra and all that. |
| 37 |  | Kashiwa Daisuke Program Music I
These Japanese people and their minimalist classical... really have to start
digging into more of this stuff. |
| 38 |  | Klaus Schulze Irrlicht
Can we get a review for this from someone more competent than I am,
please? |
| 39 |  | Robag Wruhme Thora Vukk
Warm, homespun techno type stuff from an absolute hero. "Cheese
Cowboy" will be imbedded into your head after listening to "Ende". So cute. |
| 40 |  | Sleep Research Facility Deep Frieze
Just picked this up off the net after someone (Rev?) brought it up in
someone else's list. Am digging hard. |
| 41 |  | Max Richter Memoryhouse
Tiny bit patchy, but there's some incredibly moving classical stuff on here. |
| 42 | | Aes Dana Aftermath
More organic ambient. |
| 43 |  | Younger Brother A Flock of Bleeps
This the same guy as Shpongle? Not a clue, fucking brilliant though. |
| 44 |  | ashra New Age of Earth
Really soft, sleepy stuff. |
| 45 |  | Beefcake Drei
Thought I'd sneak this in near the end. Drifts in and out of the genre, but
it's an absolute masterpiece nonetheless. |
| 46 |  | Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky Symphony No 6. in B-Minor, Op. 74
Oh look at me I'm so fucking sophisticated. |
| 47 |  | Robert Rich Somnium
7 hours. The Iron Man of ambient music. |
| 48 |  | Natural Snow Buildings Daughter of Darkness
6 hours! And it's pure drone this time! |
| 49 | | Deaf Centre Pale Ravine
Kind of cold and lonely, but beautiful nonetheless. Just like my ex-gir... I
won't go there. |
| 50 |  | Tangerine Dream Rubycon
And to think I nearly forgot this. |
