Been getting back into Ambient

Been getting back into ambient, and looking for more stuff in this field. Especially in the vein of Steve Roach, Oöphoi, Alio Die, Tetsu Inoue. Ambient with a more "etheric" feeling if you want. Any suggestions?

Zoviet France. Check out the album Loh Land, basically one of the most ahead of it's time lps ever made.

Lovely Thunder and the White Arcades

Just get anything on 12k and you'll be fine. The Jonsi and Alex album was one of the top "ambient" releases of the year for me.

Here's me: http://soundcloud.com/atop/clown-1

Tim Hecker, Kluster, Fennesz, Klaus Shulze....

not sure if these fellows fit in that category because I only know of Steve Roach's music due to someone telling me I make music that sounds like his....

will check them out!

Get the Popol Vuh In den Gärten Pharaos, Hosianna Mantra and Aguirre albums, nice ethereal vibes.

Cool! Alot of new stuff :)

You didn't mention him, so Robert Rich might be right up your alley. I think most of his releases are good, try Bestiary or Calling Down the Sky (they're the only two I own).

I'm working on a 2cd ambient album at the moment, i'll post it here for free when I finish it.

 

in the meantime I've got a couple of ambient albums for you to check out, I dunno if it's quite what you're looking for, but they're free at the very least

Grey Area (Ambient 1)

New Year's Morning (Ambient 2)

Ambient 3 (as Amutm)

one of the tracks for Ambient3 doesn't extract but you can get it here instead

(I made these when I was 16-17, so if you don't like them, it's because I was young and naive)

lol, youre only 18 now aren't you? those halcyon days of 5 months ago.

it's true though, i'm completely different from how i was 2 years ago. i was even a rightwinger, now i'm a leftist.

There was a program on last night about 70's German music that reminded me that I hadnt listened to 'Harmonia' in ages. I pretty much havent had them off all day.
