Musicoman Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I know for fact that many people does not agree with the popular statement of finding new name for every differents styles... Whatsoever I decide to go thru my idea. I find out that some of the Ambient cd's that I have are more like deep minimal beat with this big relaxing ambiance. Well I know that my description its not really clear and that the major reason why I brought this subject. Just a couple of exemple of what I considere that be classified as sleep night music: 1-Midnight Soul Dive on ALEPH ZERO RECORDS 2-Mimesis/art imitating life 3-Vataff Project/Kalitz 4-Solar Fields(the two first albums) 5-Ear Pleasure/compilation by CHILL TRIBE RECORDS 6-Sattyananda/Internal Activities 7-Ishq/Timelapse In Mercury 8-Intermittent Memories on CELESTIAL DRAGON RECORDS 9-Elemental Journey and Music for a busy head/ABSOLUTE AMBIENT So my question its the following one did you believe that those record can be call by other name that just Ambient? I wonder if maybe its already an name for that type of music please let me know. Quote
Digitalys Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Psychedelic ambient or "Psybient" that's a name for the more recent ambient with basslines/beats (ambient actually stands for BEATLESS music for as much as I know). I think it's called like that because artists became inspired by the (psy)trance culture and sounds. Most ambient artists I know from the late eighties and early '90s were more beatless. Most of the artists I know that are making this so called "psybient" are somehow linked to the psytrance culture. i'm not saying that there is a clear line between ambient and psybient, or that one has beats and the other one doesn't, so you can call it whatever you want to but if you're looking for more artists like the ones you named, look for "psybient" or "psychedelic chill". Ultimae Records (visit their site of you don't already know that label) has some of the very best artists imo. Especially Asura, Aes Dana, Solar Fields... btw, if anyone wants to adjust my little theory here, please do so Quote

buzzman Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I would like to know wich genre britney spears' new album is... Since it aint like the old pop, it must be something new... LETS GIVE IT A NAME!!!! It's almost like beatpop, or bpmpop, cous it has a beat! And maybe wutangs new album isn't hiphop anymore caus it has a guitarist and a drummer on it... So it's called rock-hop or what??? Edit: Sorry, didn't realise this was different than the other "new-genre name" topics... My bad Quote
karan129 Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 My fav psybient albums are.... Deviant Electronics - Blunt Instruments Brilliant, very relaxing breakbeats with a light ambience. Entheogenic - Entheogenic Capsula - The Synthesis of Reality Quote

Entheogenic - Entheogenic Capsula - The Synthesis of Reality Do you think though that are perfect for sleeping? I find both Entheogenic and Capsula too much ''uptempo'' for relaxing. Great artists of course, but IMO not so Sleep Night Music. Quote

Great artists of course, but IMO not so Sleep Night Music. Just what I was thinking! Nice albums, but energetic! Albums and CDs I like to slumber/daydream to: Evan Bartholomew - Caverns Of Time/Secret Entries Into Darkness Motionfield - Optical Flow Emanuele Errante - Humus Steve Roach - The Magnificent Void/The Dreamtime Box VA - Oxycanta (Ultimae Records) Solar Fields - Extended Quote

Digitalys Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I often listen to old UK techno when I go to sleep. Not the dancefloor orientated techno, but the more atmospheric albums of: Orbital, FSOL, Emmanuel Top, Planetary Assault Systems (Luke Slater)... Especially listening to Orbital makes me calm (not sleepy). Their smooth, atmospheric sounds and happy rhytms just clear my head. Even though the structure of their music is less complex compared to what I usually listen to, they always catch my concentration forr 100% and believe me, it takes a lot to do that Quote
Bahamut Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 best sleeping album ever is Jonn Serrie - And the stars go with you (1987) here's some tracks (nice images too btw!) Quote

abasio Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Anything really although it's gotten more chilled in my old age. I can still sleep to Goa though & Paul Oakenfold's A Voyage Into Trance can still give me fantastic trippy dreams Quote

RTP Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I can't sleep to most psy-ambient ... Solar Fields or CBL for example, it gives me goosebumps and that keeps me from nodding off, it's too good music To Sync24 I can, that one suits well. (Oxycanta I haven't tried yet.) But for sleeping I often choose some dark ambient, that one eases the nodding off. Or drone ambient. But I ain't got that much drone stuff yet, so I rarely listen to it. Quote
Drosophila Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 To Sync24 I can, that one suits well. Off course, forgot this one! Definitely good for dosing of to dreamland! Quote
Rotwang Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Biosphere - Autour de la Lune is the most soporific album I know. Quote
Lemmiwinks Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 not ambient, but I like to listen to Union Jack - Lollypop Man when about to sleep. I can't believe how calm and soothing this track manages to be even with a relatively high BPM... Quote
exotic Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Sync24 - Source (Ultimae, 2007) Ian Ion - Gringo Locomotion (Chill Tribe, 2007) Krill.Minima - Nautica (Native State, 2008) Motionfield - Optical Flow Biosphere - Substrata Gus Till - Aquana +1 Spot on! Orbit Constructions-Andromedai'd be wide awake or have horrible dreams. scary music Quote
