Boards of Canada!

just off the top of my head..I love Black Dice, Boards of Canada, Bonobo, Bibio, Explosions in the Sky, M83, Omar Rodriguez Lopez, Nosaj Thing, Mogwai, Russian Circles

Nice I like some Bonobo.

Yeah purplebottle its all very subjective, I'm gonna check out russian circles, I;ve head of them before.

Hahaha you are talking about omer! that guys got so many projects going on I lose track, plus in my opinion mars volta has been steadily declining since frances the mute, even though I guess that isn't really relevant to omer's stuff oh welll

Awesome yeah russian circles is a group I've often heard about but never checked out I'M ON IT

Oh man if they could create something more akin to deloused I would be so very pleased. I feel like the circumstances for that record were unique, having recently split off from ATDI cedric and OMER had so much creative freedom that they could utilize. But in my head it just went downhill afterwards, even though I enoy Frances, and the one after that somewhat. OPINIONS, I just don't happen to think the later stuff is as high quality. Maybe its just because I love deloused so much and it was so good and so difficult to stay on par with. I DONT KNOW

OH that right ambient things! OK I also got into emeralds lately, i like it. their records all soudn kind of different, I like "does it look like i'm here" alot lately thoough!

AND wendy carlos? sonic seasonings sounds good inside my head.

now i am done rambling. FOR NOW.

i'd call russian circles more post-rock than ambient but yeah, the line sorta blurs
check out a blog call kapritska for post-rock stuff (google it, it's on blogspot)

also, firmly in ambient land: nurse with wound's "lilith" which is music made by chaining together effects pedals -- no signal, just feedback loops

Sounds cool Yukbon, I'm gonna give nurse with wounds "MY OWN GO". Yeah ambient is a blurry notion, I usually think of it as tranquil instrumental music that sprawls with incremental changes in what is happening, that sounds more like minimalist compositions though, it really is all incredibly subjective.

I have one Easily Embarrassed album (Planet Discovery) that I like OK!

Oh, this is kind of wild, but Will Hart of The Olivia Tremor Control (one of my absolute favorite groups) made an album where he put tape recorders underground. I guess thats ambient, its supposed to capture the essence of life, what with worms burrowing around and ants doing things and everything else that you can hear beneath land. I think it was a very impressive/experimental idea, although I guess its somewhat boring in the sense that there isn't much happening. I feel like I need very high quality headphones to fully experience it OH WELL

that willem cullen heart album you speak of.... silver/sliver...

is on my list of WORST ALBUMS OF ALL TIME

haha!

i love the IDEA of it!

but the execution / what you actually HEAR? is awful!

i remember hearing it and not knowing the story and thinking something was VERY wrong!

i think i even converted it to WAV files and sped it up to see what the hell was going on .... THEN i read what it was and thought well what the damn hell!

...

one idear i like would be sending a tape recorder in the mail and recording all the sounds of it going through the mail / conversations / etc.... then edit into the best bits.... or something of that sort!

Haha I kind of agree with you, I don't even think i listened to it in its entirety. Really not a whole lot going on! LOVE THE IDEA THOUGH, creativities! I am biased in favor of Will and anything he creates

OH and I like the mall idea, that could produce some interesting soundscapes!

Ambient music would be great in MALLS!

Karen o is a gooden, hideaway is the best one!

But no-one answered my question, has anyone heard of tiny ruins ? I think on YouTube it's called tiny ruins and singer of songs, songs like death of a Russian or little notes are very good

pppplllleeeeaaasssseeee someone listen and give me an honest opinion !

I'm still waiting plank-tonnes (I still need to come up with a new nickname that one is shit and I think sounds slightly offensive)

I love listening to ambient while:
-reading
-stretching after working out
-randomly on shuffle
-meditating

some of my favorite ambient is stars of the lid and brian eno, but i'm very open-minded when it comes to ambient

I'm taking note of all of this. I need some good ambient music to listen to when reading or doing yoga or writing.

Tigers I really do suggest tiny ruins, there is something about her voice and songs that is really comforting !

KRATFWERK, what an act! love those guys.

LOVE COMPUTERS

i <3 kraftwerk, but I wouldn't call it ambient by any stretch

I can sort of see that; ambient in the same vein as say, orbital or FSOL or something.

Yeah exactly, like orbitcal, royksopp, etc.

I guess it's the same as saying that Led Zeppelin are the forerunners of heavy metal.

haha Yukbon. I had a laugh reading your post. Thanks

Evening Star, Fripp and Eno.
Check it out, what do you think etc.

WHITE RAINBOW

pretty good ambient stuff, drawn out songs, very spacey

where are the spaceheads?

Yes sir! mam? I think MAM!

hope you enjoy it, as far as ambiance goes it ams satisfactory in my opinions.
