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. |
