Tim Dorr Veteran Posted October 20, 2003 Veteran Share Posted October 20, 2003 What is ambiental? I know of ambient, but not this ambiental of which you speak... If it's the same thing I'm thinking of, I can recommend some Autechre's Amber LP, Plastikman, and Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works 85-92 and Selected Ambient Works II (Cliffs is a goddamn amazing song off that).

poind Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Don't know if it's quite up your alley--can be more "artsy" and tend not to have regular rhythmic stuff--but you might want to look up Brian Eno and go from there.... Perhaps his "Nerve Net" would be a decent balance? What's been classified as "ambient" has moved from his stuff to some things more like Enigma in recent years.

MercX Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Enigma, Delerium, Dagda, and Govinda. Although they tend to be more classified as New Age, I would think they are more ambient music then anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanctified Veteran Posted October 20, 2003 Author Veteran Share Posted October 20, 2003 Enigma, Delerium, Dagda, and Govinda. Although they tend to be more classified as New Age, I would think they are more ambient music then anything. Personally I classify Delirium and Enigma (among others, like Era) as new age, nevertheless they are still excellent bands, just not what Im looking in this thread, however I will check the other two bands you mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+virtorio MVC Posted October 20, 2003 MVC Share Posted October 20, 2003 (edited) You might like Arcana. Home page at http://www.erebusodora.net/arcana/ And Midnight Syndicate, that is good tooo. Gothica is also a good choice Edited October 20, 2003 by virtorio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poind Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 ,Oct 19 2003, 17:37] Brian Eno is marvelous :) and indeed ambiental, thats the kind of music Im talking about Ah ha! Good to know, though finding folk comparable to Eno can be a bit trickier. I remember listening to folk like Cocteau Twins and Laurie Anderson around the same time I listened to a ton of Eno, though they're certainly a bit different and possibly have a bit more popular appeal. You might very well like a lot of what can be put out by computer music departments at various universities, though it tends not to get a ton of media attention except in its own circles. You *might* want to look into stuff put out by places like Stanford's CCRMA, IRCAM (in Paris), etc. There are compilation CDs of various related things out there if you're looking for stuff that appeals to you. Can vary a lot, and require a bit of tracking down, but can be really interesting stuff, especially if you're also interested in the technology that's gone into things at times over the years. Simplest jumping-off point I might suggest would the the Electronic Music Foundation (www.emf.org). I'd expect what they refer to as "soundscapes" and "soundscape art" at their website would be what you're looking for. Kind of what's still most directly comparable to Eno.
