psytimeofmylife Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Hey guys, I didn't really pay attention to what's happening in the ambient genre for the past year. Recently, I tried looking for some new stuff. Well, my usual way of going to Saikosounds and checking out the downtempo section didn't work. It turns out, there is no more saikosounds. That sucks big time, that was my favorite shop for downtempo and the long samples were great. My question: what are some nice releases from this year (or if there's something really great from 2012 )? And also.. where do you look for ambient releases now and where do you order from? From this year, I only have Boards of Canada's album.. and thats it Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnb820 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I really really enjoy RA's Unearthly album which leads me to mention Altar Records for all your ambient needs. Ektoplazm has also had a ton of good ambient albums this year. Oh and Shpongle released a new album although it's more upbeat than previous albums.

djzen Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 You can hear nowadays much more than 4mns samples on the net..! Try this: http://www.altar.bandcamp.com also try "ambient" tag into Bandcamp to find your needs, you'll be surprised how many good artists are represented there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psytimeofmylife Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 thanks for all the suggestions, guys! I'll be sure to check out bandcamp and other links. I also found out psyshop and beatspace have "downtempo" categories. So, I'll browse those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Eye Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Don't forget Ektoplazm Ambient Although what's been mentioned here goes rather into these categories: Downtempo Psy Dub Deep Trance Happy exploring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
