recommend me something lush & ambient

[Orang Utan]

Yeah, I was talking about that - it's way too Cafe Del Mar beige saccharine ambient shite

 

[miniGMgoit]

Stars Of The Lid
Seriously
The best ambient music around in my humble opinion

 

[Orang Utan]

yes, Fennesz too if you like that sort of thing

 

[Orang Utan]

Calling William Orbit shite is not the best of ideas, given he has more musical talent than you could ever comprehend...

Talent counts for nothing if you use it to make crap music

 

[kyser_soze]

Chill Out, KLF.

 

[Orang Utan]

Chill Out, KLF.

he said not obvious, though it is rather good - maybe Jimi Cauty's Space project - that's slightly less obvious

 

[blairsh]

Leafcutter John - The Forest and the Sea

 

[El Jefe]

...some of the stuff he did under the name strange cargo would be more appropriate. Calling William Orbit shite is not the best of ideas, given he has more musical talent than you could ever comprehend...

so has Nigel Kennedy, doesn't mean he's not shite

i have stuff by fennez & SOTL, of which i love muchly. plenty of excellent looking suggestions folks.

and while all suggestions are clearly welcome, there's probably no need to mention any classic ambient albums from 15 - 20 years ago. i've already got all of them...

 

[El Jefe]

ah, try the Caretaker - gorgeous "hauntology" stuff

Harold Budd and Another Green World are rocking my iPod at the moment.

 

[kalidarkone]

i could do with something really mellow, uplifting and ambientish. any reccomendations? albums, mixes, whatever...

Any album by the Thievery Corporation- mellow dubby, ambient D&B, mixed with some jazzy Latin beats as well as some more east asian and middle eastern themes. I'm Kalidarkone on SLSK as well if you want to up load from me (I'm on right now!)

 

[Orang Utan]

I'm sure killer b is familiar with them

 

[kalidarkone]

I'm sure killer b is familiar with them

Well he did ask and I guess I wouldn't know that now would I ?

i am indeed familiar with theivery corp, and am afraid to say i hate them.

 

[Orang Utan]

Oh well, never mind different strokes...

 

[killer b]

[El Jefe]

have you heard Isan (I suspect you have, but just in case..)

 

[killer b]

don't think so. what album do you suggest?

 

[El Jefe]

i really love Lucky Cat and Salle D'Isan, both on Morr Music

 

[Rainingstairs]

IS Buddha Bar over there? several volumes of mixes out. kinda old but chill out music never really has a use by date

 

[killer b]

it is. not really what i'm looking for though. too much beats and lame-o ethnic fusion toss.

 

[El Jefe]

ugh

 

[killer b]

i'm listening to porter ricks now.

 

[Rainingstairs]

ugh

fair enough. i thought it was me just not really being into the whole "ambient music" thing

that is. unless i'm sitting on a greek beach sipping a mai tai.
