'Look into me', 'Flock of Rotations' and 'Misfits and Looney Toons..' are some of their weirder harsher stuff. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « shhh http://thethingonthedoorstep.blogspot.com/...e-loh-land.html Edited March 23, 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/4/#findComment-988893 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reformed Factions LPs bring back that mid 80s Zoviet France sound but with technically better recording quality Edited March 23, 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/4/#findComment-988906 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbpete Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I'm really racking my brains here at SAW II-a-likes and the nearest I can get is - Colin Potter & The Hafler Trio - A Pressed on Sandwich (it's like 2 or 3 SAW II tracks mulched into 50 minutes) Hildur Gudnadottir, BJ Nilsen and Stilluppsteypa - Second Childhood (slightly more esoteric than SAW but a similar dark intoxicating ambience running through it all) Sleep Research Facility - Nostromo (SAW with sci-fi tinges on top - it's apparently based on the first few minutes of Alien) DJ Olive - Triage (wasn't sure about this one, it's like SAW's slightly more contented younger brother) I'm thinking there must be a Machinefabriek album that fits the bill too but I couldn't find one that was SAW esque enough. It sure is a tricky sound to pin point....

Guest Mr Salads Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 that Belong stuff was garbage. Its amazing that you would throw that in consideration for something similar to Saw II. I dont think people "get" SAW 2 from some of these recommendations. And the dreamlike quality being discussed is totally accurate while also being vague enough to throw people for a loop as far as what to suggest. I dont consider anything Eno ever did to resemble Saw 2 for example. Anything drone-y...nope. Ambients a complicated thing but i know exactly what the request is here. And the answer if you find it I would like to know myself Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/43873-trying-to-find-an-ambient-artist/page/4/#findComment-989531 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do strongly think that parts of Coil VS Elph 'worship the glitch' share strong similarities to it at least conceptually and bands like Shuttle 358 (not sure if mentioned yet) make a lot of tracks like the 1st song on the 2nd disc.
