ambient music...

[mr cat]

as some of you may know - I'm a great fan of ambient / chillout music...

my tastes include - the orb, brian eno, harold bud etc...

in fact, I've just ordered the following from amazon -

anyone else I should be looking at..?

 

[Sgt Rock]

76.14 is a great album.

Have you checked out the FAX label? Pete Namlook is the main man on FAX, his output is prolific. If you can find them, the two CDs released by Jochem Paap on FAX are amongst the best 'ambient' ever.

What about Mille Plateaux? A variety of stuff on this label, but check out shuttle358 (aka Dan Abrahms), simply amazing. Also on Mille Plateaux is one of my faves, GAS, probably the most atmospheric electronic music ever created. 'Zauberberg' and 'Konigsforst' are my favourite albums.

Biosphere is a great artist. 'Substrata' Vols 1 & 2 and especially 'Cirque' are very good indeed.

Robert Rich's double CD, if you can find it, called 'Trances/Drones' is awesome, really sublime sleeping music. :SLEEP:

 

[Sgt Rock]

Substrata Vols 1 is the better one of the 2, must check out the FAX label when the beer level has died down

Aphex Twin Ambient Works Vol.1 1985-1992 it good too.

 

[julian2002]

future sound of london, accelerator and lifeforms.

the orb - adventures beyond the ultraworld.

A brief history of ambient volume 1

may also be worth sheching out shpongle but this may be too upbreat for you .

i've ordered the ulrich shnauss (2nd one) as the track on my own is just fabulous - well the remix from saha's involver is anyway so i'm taking a punt.
cheers

Indeed. But tracks 6..10 (I think from memory) sound as though they've been listening to a lot of Tangerine Dream.

 

[mr cat]

and I've just ordered - Cirque - Biosphere

both from amazon...

The Robert Rich is available from amazon for £12.99 - I'm a bit miffed as I paid £20 for mine!!....worth every penny though.
