I'm sorry to be a drunken genre whore but why isn't there an ambient thread yet?
(Someone told me there's nothing intresting going on on this forum so im doing something marginally intresting, sorry)

I'll start.

Re: Ambient Thread

For me one of the (if not THE) ultimate escapism-ambient-tracks:

This one is also soothing:

Great memories of this one (in the 90's when I was quite into ambient, like many ;-)

on the contrary, 60% of my collection is ambient and related (just like Agence International I think).

Maybe they (not you Ray) are too much into ambient to respond on this thread?  tongue

I have just about 30 titles that I can call ambient. It's more if you take some calm techno, triphop, trance, experimental, IDM etc. into account.

Re: Ambient Thread

IFM5 plays about 70% ambient.

done! She promised me that she will give you a massage when we come over to Rotterdam.

Couldn't find any clips on youtube but I highly recommend Nurse With Wound - Salt Marie Seleste, top notch dungeon ambient.

Re: Ambient Thread

Is trippy synthesizer stuff considered as ambient?
Like this:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeHSSX98oZE[/youtube]

Whenever I hear the term "ambient", I kinda always think of Fax records and Brian Eno and 90s ambient with just landscapes of sounds you could not even notice... and I'm not too much into that.
I do like "dark ambient" from time to time though, like this:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozlLOlFUKqw[/youtube]

But I tend not to separate the synthy stuff from dark ambient and library music and concrete and experimental and whatever, it's all the same to me.

Re: Ambient Thread

Double post, please delete.

Re: Ambient Thread

I fully agree with you mekonin, for me ambient also includes the dark stuff, library music, vintage synth stuff, experimental, industrial stuff like Zoviet France, Ain Soph etc.

Wicked Messenger is an awesome artist indeed, he'll have a vinyl release this year (normally).

Re: Ambient Thread

I like the more kitsch (?) of Enigma from time to time. I don't know if you can call it ambient....probably not.

I guess Chill Out would be more accurate. Know this from the compilation Trancemaster 4: Tribal "Chill Out". It's from Klaus Schulze.

Re: Ambient Thread

@ray and mekonin: Ambient is nowadays more a name to combine a group of genres. Enosih ambient can therefore be classified as classic ambient. To quote Mr Eno:  "the idea of modern music as subtle atmosphere, as chill-out, as impressionistic, as something that creates space for quiet reflection or relaxation."
