[Flavour]

ah, ok. tbh i find a whole soundtrack, divorced of the film it's scoring, rarely satisfies. i'll give it a go though, i like plaid.

 

[Orang Utan]

not even aguirre?

I know what you mean, but it's still a good un

e2a: try . it really is stunningly beautiful

the whole thing? i dunno. popol vuh aren't one of my favourite kraut bands anyway tbf.

might give it another go though... although kraut is out of my remit tonight...

Another source of excellent ambient music is Stillstream Radio. Its on 24 hours a day and I regularly tune in when at work. They often have live preformances too. I was going to do one once but the logistics of it got a bit to much.
It can, on occasions be a bit "new age" but only occasionally.
Guarenteed to hear loads of stuff you've never heard before. I've also never once heard a beat on it

 

[braindancer]

some fine looking stuff there orang... will have a browse through over the next few days.

in other news, the tim hecker / aiden baker album here is superb...

Its good, very good, but you need Harmony in Ultra Violet - the best Tim Hecker by a country mile...

 

[killer b]

on it.

Unfortunately I live in New York now

really????

 

[heinous seamus]

tee hee. i did some laptop djing at an experimental night on tuesday, playing pretty much random songs from the various albums I've downloaded as a result of this thread... and now i've been booked for a gig on monday in manchester, supporting the splendid Machinefabriek.

i feel like a massive fraud...

How was it then? I caught him last night, had to leave before the end but was enjoying his ambient sounds very much.

ooh yeah - looks cracking. i'm on a noise-punk / hardcore rave tip atm, but when i need to chill this will be given a good listen to.

it was great - bit of a sticky moment when i displayed my ignorance about a tune i was playing (the chap who i was chatting to had released it on his record label. whoops), but it was a fantastic night: people seemed to enjoy my choons, the three acts (machinefabriek, the drummer from slowdive doing an experimental t'ing, and xela from type records) were all superb.. they even did a collab at the end.

missed the 11.30 train and had to catch the 3.55 one though. which wasn't superb...

Yes indeed - this mix is lovely...

 

[Mr Clutch]

Really like loads of the artists already mentioned. These are all personal faves from recent times:

Echaskech - Skechbook
Oblong - Indicator
Another Electronic Musician - Five
Tetsu Inoue - World Receiver

The Tetsu album is AMAZING.

[May Kasahara]

oh, and am looooooving this.

Cool, always glad to spread the word You know, I'd love to meet up with the family b one day and talk music over a pint.

Thought I'd take a moment to pimp some of my other half's ambient projects while I'm here: http://www.southfacing.info/

 

[Divisive Cotton]

I've been listening to '75 collaboration album between Fripp and Eno today, Evening Star

And if you really want something lush and ambient check out Brian Eno's album / track Thursday Afternoon - all 63 minutes of it

 

[dweller]

Enya's Watermark?

*runs*

that's a bit old school Enya,
Amarantine is where its at!!
It even has songs sung in Loxian a made up language!!

 

[killer b]

the thread starter should have the ability to delete innapropriate posts, imo.

may - it would be cool to hang out over some tunes sometime for sure! i'll give you a shout next time i'm in london if you like (that is where you are isn't it?)

Enya shot her load after "The Memory of Trees".

Anything after that is Enya Lite.

It's so nice that you think that...but no. We're in Leicester

I still cherish the dream of heading up north to meet cyberfairy, among others, so perhaps one day I'll do the grand Cool U75ers North Tour.

 

[killer b]

shit... i was in leicester for a job for a few nights the other month too - i'd have looked you up for sure if i'd have known.

 

[May Kasahara]

Ooh, well, if you're ever passing this way again there's a baby-sick-stained sofa and a tasty home-cooked meal with your name on

 

[killer b]

may well be. it seems to be a popular area for traffic surveys ATM...

 

[May Kasahara]

Cool! Seriously, give us a shout, you're always welcome here

BUT I've gone on about it enough so you may have encountered it already and it's not everyone's idea of lush and ambient. I often listen to it when I'm horizontal though.

I like this OU - where did you get it from?

I like this OU - where did you get it from?

I got it from the We Are Robots site, but check out .thejass' soundcloud as he played at Space in Ibiza for six hours (of all places! Think Richie Hawtin got him in) last summer and some of it is up there.
Hang on, I'll find it for you

Oh, and I've recently discovered the old Biosphere album Substrata which is just lovely. Instant classic. Love the bit with the Major's dream soliloquy from Twin Peaks
