radi6404 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 So this time instead of asking for recommendations I will ask what you listen to. What type of ambient or chillout do you listen? Do you also listen to goaambient and if which goa ambient do you listen to? I would like you to psot whtat you listen to with descriptions in order to know what to check out.

exotic Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I have been listening to a lot of Dreamhub lately .. the album "Moments in space" has some wonderful soundscapes. Peaceful and relaxing ambient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manuser Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 not really listen to "goa" ambient but more "pure" ambient, this is one of my fav (steve roach) : http://www.discogs.com/Steve-Roach-Mystic-Chords-Sacred-Spaces/release/205127 another one (thom brennan) http://www.discogs.com/Thom-Brennan-Satori/master/390 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatKidWitAJetPak Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I love listening to early Ambient / Drone production. Steve Roach is definitely a prominent playback for me. His tribal, hypnotic, engulfing compositions always leave me craving for more. I also enjoy Carbon Based Lifeforms, Brian Eno, and a whole lot of other guys. As for current ambience, I thoroughly enjoy Solar Fields. He makes a lot of psychedelic albums centered around constantly changing themes that progress into a steady chill axing beatline.. He also has a few full on albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolmot Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Right now, Robert Rich - Nest with Echo of Small Things next on the playlist. I've listened to these a lot recently. I dig them out whenever I need to calm down and all other music has some aspect or another which manages to bother me. Here I just hit 'play' and everything is fine for two hours. At other times. piles of things from psydub and downbeat to dark and space... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GapTheMind Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I wouldn't really consider psydub and psychedelic downtempo as ambient. Ambient to me is much more flowing and beatless, like say Brian Eno. It's very rare that i listen to ambient, but when i do it's always a wonderful experience. One release that i enjoy very much is Kindheitstraum by Eric Delay. It has some minimal and glitch influences, and a lot of real life recordings. Kindheitstraum means childhood memories (AFAIK) and so there is a lot of recordings of children playing, it always brings me straight back to my childhood, and it gives me this feeling of endless summer. Imagine you live in an appartment building and you can hear every child in the building runnning around in the streets having the time of their life with all the innocence and naivety that children are so full of. Maybe my description is a little out there, but I can highly recommend it! http://fslab.net/releases/frag012-eric-delay-kindheitstraum/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouroboros Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 i totaly understand when people say they dont consider stuff with beats as ambient...i disagree, but i understand. im more a dark ambient/rythmic noise kinda guy...so these are the kinds of things i listen to: edit: just listening to this again for this post i have to go on record as saying this empusea & shinkiro track is pure magic.

radi6404 Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 anyone listeing to goaambient? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anoebis Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I am listening to loads of "normal" ambient too lately... And my favourites are indeed Matthias Grassow (some of his releases are extremely good), Steve Roach and Databloem releases.I do listen to some psy-ambient, but only the deep stuff, which isn't that much released... Like Ultimae latest releases (Connect.Ohm was REALLY nice, I was dissapointed by Aes Dana though) and a BIG surprise, the new E-Mantra - Hermit Sanctuary is super good, deep and darkish ambient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronSun Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 the new E-Mantra - Hermit Sanctuary is super good, deep and darkish ambient Good, I'll have to get that one as well then I listen to a lot of psychill/psybient like Ishq, Solar Fields, CBL (and Sync24), Aes Dana (I liked his latest album a lot, very techish), and of course Shpongle although I have to say I've been listening to them a lot less the last two years. Other artists include Globular, Astropilot, the sentimony records compilations, Entheogenic, Androcell/Distant System, System7, etc... My favorite psybient album from the past year is without a doubt Connect.Ohm's 9980... Fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radi6404 Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Ironsun, what is that ambient about, is it melodic and like downbeat goa tracks or is it different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoPhora Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I consider ambient to be beatless music - swaying not stomping! But then I dont know nothin...Anyway - here is a good deep psybient/ downtempo track ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90ukadKW8AE ALSO im new here...hello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Eye Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 My favorite psybient album from the past year is without a doubt Connect.Ohm's 9980... Fantastic!Yep, one of the nicest downtempo/psybient/whatever albums in recent memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got any more recommendations? And indeed, I bought Aes Dana too out of habit (and because missing it now could mean paying 40e next year) but it hasn't received that many plays yet. Maybe there are moments where it fits better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padmapani Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I wouldn't really consider psydub and psychedelic downtempo as ambient. Ambient to me is much more flowing and beatless, like say Brian Eno. by that definition i don't listen to ambient at all. floating evolving pads put me to sleep or make me nervous because i'm looking for change where which doesn't come at the pace i'd expect. i do love psydub or downtempo goa though. ott, globular, e-mantra and all those tracks from cbl, aes dana and asura that have a beat .

K-BAN Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I definately need more ambient in my collection and will refer back to this thread. Thank you all! The last ambient/chill release I bought was Dhamika - Floating EP and I really enjoy it. EDIT: EVERYTHING IS ON YOUTUBE NOW-A-DAYS! ;p here's my favorite of the 3 songs on that EP titled 'Snowflake' the part at 2:17 strikes pure bliss for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radi6404 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 does anyone know the track Youth - Splash, it sounds like Youth and I think it is very good, typical youth sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormion Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Mostly beatless, minimalistic ambient or/and melodic (melancholic for better). Not a fan of dub and shpongle style. I also prefer to be as electronic as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Eye Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I also prefer to be as electronic as possible.Then I have to suggest Harax - Inly. I don't think there's one single acoustic instrument on the entire album. Beautiful music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
