Herr Jan Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 One of my ambient favorites (not all of them are like SAWII, but ah well): William Basinski's Melancholia Origami Galaktika - Horisont Collothen - Translation. I recently found this one, free for download here: http://www.xynthetic.com/xsn022.php Nordvargr - Awaken Fennesz - Venice And also Deathprod - Morals and Dogma and his split with Biosphere (Nordheim Transformed).

awepittance Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) Atop said: Desolation Wilderness! great recommendation! Isolate records was going to sign them shortly before Wai(the owner) died, i really enjoyed the demo they sent to him, have they done an official release yet? also i didn't see anybody mention Coil VS Elph - worship the glitch which has a lot of loopy rhythmic ambient similar to SAWII ieafs said: none of this is very like SAWII though is it? my life in the bush of ghosts? so far not really, i think most of these just fall under the ambient category and in that case ill mention other ambient albums that rarely get mentioned but are very influential to a lot of the newer ambient acts Zoviet France - Loh Land or Monomishe (mid 80s ambient that is extremely ahead of it's time) Tetsue Inoue - Psych-acoustic or World Receiver and for those a little turned off by Brian Eno's extreme dominance over the invented narrative of 'inventing ambient' check out the guys that influenced him, Cluster Edited March 22, 2009 by Awepittance Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide awepittance's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/43873-trying-to-find-an-ambient-artist/page/2/#findComment-988070 Share on other sites More sharing options...

chim Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 A few albums to get you started.. Matt Borghi - Huronic Minor A very thematic album about a storm in the early 20th century. Droney and somewhat repetitive but very emotional and lots of warm synth drones. DJ Olive - Sleep Different drones and psychedelic atmospheres. Steve Roach - Darkest Before Dawn Very spacey, cold and trance inducing. Robert Rich - Somnium 7 hours of Robert Rich doing his thing. Very sleep-conductive and subliminal. William Basinski's Disintegration Loops, Melancholia and Movement in Chrome Primitive Basinski is definitely one of my favourite artists.. Very original, tape broken and melodic sound. He seems to be liked by alot of WATMMers. Atom Heart, Bill Laswell and Tetsu Inoue's Second Nature Excellent album by three ambient legends. Between Interval's Secret Observatory Good stuff from sweden. Northern - Drawn Bass Communion's Ghosts on Magnetic Tape Classic, sparse sound, very subliminal. Alio Die's Expanding Horizon, il Tempo Magico di Saturnia Pavonia and Suspended Feathers Antonio Testa's Inframundis Adham Shaikh - Journey to the Sun good japanese artists; Tetsu Inoue, Akira Rabelais, Naoki Ishida, Oren Ambarchi, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Toshiya Tsunoda The Pop Ambient series might be interesting to you as well. Quote Akira Rabelais - Spellewauerynsherde Lloop - Bulbbs William Basinski - El Camino Real Fluorescent Grey - Ambiente Popul Vuh - "The Best of Popul Vuh" should do it Es - Sateenkaarisuudelma Excellent suggestions!

Terpentintollwut Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I think like most of us I know what nene's looking for, but could only recommend good dream-sparking Ambient, not anything that has this direct processing of dream-melodies Richard went for. I agree with pretty much all of the suggested albums I'm familiar with as being very dreamy, still none of them are just like saw2. I don't want to add too much to that list, I just encourage you to give this a try: Vir Unis - Aeonian Glow It's a tranquilizing but intense streaming thing, liquid drone of sorts (I'm not good at cathegorizing...). I thought it was nothing special at first but now it's probably become my most played album. His "The Drift Inside" is similar in style, but not as subliminal for me, a bit more untroubled. chimera slot mom said: Robert Rich - Somnium 7 hours of Robert Rich doing his thing. Very sleep-conductive and subliminal. My opinion on him varies a lot from album to album. I think Echo of Small Things is very nice. I heard Somnium has bird samples towards the end which made me back off a little, even though the concept sounds very interesting (I don't like waking up hearing birds, or worse, going to sleep hearing them) Quote Bass Communion's Ghosts on Magnetic Tape Classic, sparse sound, very subliminal. Could you elaborate on this one a bit (sparse sound?), title and theme appeal to me... Quote Steve Roach - Darkest Before Dawn Very spacey, cold and trance inducing. Only thing I know by Roach is a colab he did with Vir Unis called Blood Machine, which I found to be very trance incuding (not to be confused with the genre of trance music) too... interesting. I've been wanting to check him out anyway Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/43873-trying-to-find-an-ambient-artist/page/2/#findComment-988179 Share on other sites More sharing options...

chim Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Quote My opinion on him varies a lot from album to album. I think Echo of Small Things is very nice. I heard Somnium has bird samples towards the end which made me back off a little, even though the concept sounds very interesting (I don't like waking up hearing birds, or worse, going to sleep hearing them) I like most of his work, the sleep concerts especially, the whole idea of making music solely for sleep and doing it so well is what keeps me coming back. Somnium is excellent, I wouldn't really say it has alot of bird noise. His sound is VERY smooth in that sense, no percussive or high frequency noise at all, everything evolves into something else in extremely drawn out intervals. I've fallen asleep to somnium several times, and only woken up after another track in the playlist has started and interrupt the sound, so it's excellent for a 7 hour sleep. It starts out with very expansive ambient with the trademark oriental flute he does in almost all his sleep work. Eventually it starts to mellow down into a more drone-type sound. The drones are accompanied with smalln ature sounds (forests, crackling bonfires, rain, wind) throughout most of the album. I don't think any artist does this better, to start out with details that keep your interest when you're basically waiting to fall asleep, and slowly reduces those details while you drift out of consciousness, seemingly parallel to the sound. I like the second part of the album alot, because it develops a very cool, icy and ultra-minimal sound. The deep sleep part, basically. Makes me think of cryogenic sleep. I don't know much of the third part, because I've never heard it awake. That must count for something as to the effect of this album. Quote Could you elaborate on this one a bit (sparse sound?), title and theme appeal to me... It's a bunch of processed vinyl and piano bits. It's very minimal. It's abit dark and nightmarish, but beautiful at the same time. samples here: http://www.sleepbot.com/ambience/album/ghsttape.html Quote Only thing I know by Roach is a colab he did with Vir Unis called Blood Machine, which I found to be very trance incuding (not to be confused with the genre of trance music) too... interesting. I've been wanting to check him out anyway I actually don't like much of Roach's work, alot of it sounds too clean and "well-produced". It lacks abit of personality, in a sense. Still, Darkest Before Dawn is one of the best ambient works I know..

J3FF3R00 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 popol vuh: # Affenstunde (1970) # In den Gärten Pharaos (1971) # Hosianna Mantra (1972) # Seligpreisung (1973) # Einsjäger und Siebenjäger (1974) # Das Hohelied Salomos (1975) # Aguirre (1975) # Letzte Tage - Letzte Nächte (1976) # Coeur de Verre (1977) # Nosferatu (1978) # Brüder des Schattens - Söhne des Lichts (1978) # Die Nacht der Seele (1979) # Sei still, wisse ICH BIN (1981) I'm sure the rest are good but definitely get "In den Gärten Pharaos", "Brüder des Schattens - Söhne des Lichts" and "Coeur de Verre" . Those are the best 3 imo. "Affenstunde" is very synthy and drony but less melodic. "Einsjäger und Siebenjäger" is fucking fantastic as well but it is more ambient rock.
