09.12.17 | time to dig in deep into ryuichi sakamoto's works, collaborations and miscellaneous things -- i shall be yr guide on this wondrous journey |

09.12.17 | Where to begin, where to begin. So many options, dare I drop you upon a more straightforward beginning to ease you in or do I hand over a glitchier affair that you can dive right into?
let me give you three (and!bonus) potential entry-points:
the difficult : alva noto + ryuichi sakamoto - insen
the intricate: ryuichi sakamoto - async
the complex: ryuichi sakamoto - out of noise
the contrived: ryuichi sakamoto + taylor deupree - disappearance
all are very different from each other and will garner different reactions from you. you may not like them or maybe you will. instant gratification is a non-factor. your journey will be a long, tedious and rough road. |

09.12.17 | 'genre I'll focus on' 'ambient'
Contradiction in terms ain't it? |

09.12.17 | It's a good option Uni. I'd rec Noveller. |
Frippertronics
09.12.17 | "oookay then"
i could spam this whole thread with 30 recs at a time since you're a pro at that |
DoofusWainwright
09.12.17 | I'm at a 'beginner's level' for ambient so I'd rec these as good starters:
- Fennesz, Endless Summer
- Biosphere, Substrata
- Aphex Twin, Selected Ambient Works Vol 2
- Emeralds, Does it Look Like I'm Here?
- Gas, Pop
- Tetsu Inoue, Ambiant Otaku
- The KLF, Chillout
- Cluster & Eno, Cluster & Eno
Surprising amount of variety in that lot |
Papa Universe
09.12.17 | I don't think you understand that I'll listen to as much NEW ambient music as possible. I'll use some of these albums as introduction, but after that it's 2018 shit only. |

09.12.17 | i don't know man, spamming recs sounds a lot more productive considering the genre is at a creative dead end right now |
Dewinged
09.12.17 | There's so much you can do with ambient music man. |
Papa Universe

09.12.17 | Reasonably good outcome but you probably would have been better off doing this for ambient a few years ago when there was more interesting ambient stuff coming out frequently. |
