gee...thnx for the helpful reply. written with such wit and creativity to boot.

 

i dont suppose it would have occurred to you that i already did that?

 

in case you couldnt pull youself away from the pipe long enough to read my entire question...i was asking for specific suggestions pertaining to the examples i gave.

 

thanks for playing though

you may try to hear some stuff on plague recordings although am not entirely sure is what you look for as i have never heard the artists you mentioned in your original post.

but there is for sure some creative dark ambient & drone stuff on plague. other than that you may also try moksha sides project's: Delysid (2), DLS, Helix 12, Ordo Catharis Templi, Zoomorph, Hoedh, Hostia.

Good luck! :)

thnx for the suggestions.

 

so far most of that is what im not really looking for. drone and texture based dark ambient is all over the place and very easy to find.

 

the silent hill stuff is more what im looking for...but still not quite it.

 

i did find this though:

I try to minimise the clanking in my collection, but there are some more rhythmic bits in Desiderii Marginis, Herbst9, Inade, Camanecroszcope, ATOI and Sephiroth, to name a few. Is any of those close to what you're looking for? (Anything faster than that and I'll refuse to call it ambient...)

again...thanks for the suggestions.

 

so....

 

let me first say...i like all of those and will be looking into them more,

 

as for mortal engines...not really what im looking for....good, but not dark.

 

dolmot...

 

those are all very very good...but still not really what im after. you and i probably have different ideas as to what "ambient" can be....yours being more strict than mine. all of those bands were too ambient for what im looking for (again...a lot of drones and textures). i really like inade (i liked them all actually...i have some sephiroth already), but i would classify these as gothic ambient.

 

i actually like the clanking...and am looking for stuff thats less "musical"...a more mechanical sound.

 

but thanks for suggesting these...i like them a lot.

I did some digging a few months back and tried to find dark ambient that fit a particular tone. What I found to be the best is

 

Svartsinn - Traces of Nothingness

 

and

 

Red Fog - Dronerider, which can be downloaded for free here: http://dna-production.org/releases/dna90/

 

Otherwise I haven't really found anything that sounds too good..
