Hey, that's real nice. You might like Taylor Deupree's remix of Machinefabriek/Soccer Committee's - For I Am Distant: http://www.myspace.com/taylordeupree/music/songs/for-i-am-distant-machinefabriek-44039733 (Not sure if it works, a lot of streaming stuff gets blocked here at work)

I just discovered this guy, he's pretty good:

everything that starts with that lo-fi-iesh hiss is good.

this brings me to post some more organic drone/field recordings/rusty ambient by thuja, the obvious ambient stuff will be posted anyway.

An ambient quest is an honorable quest.

KLF - Chillout is essential in this quest, you will love it. Trust me.

I wish I could find youtube of Oren Ambarchi and Keith Rowe - Flypaper. Fantastic drone guitar...

These are from Oren Ambarchi's album "Grapes From the Estate". Can't recommend the guy enough.

An ambient thread with no Milieu is some kind of modern crime.

I've found Stars of the Lid honestly pretty overrated. It's not like I don't like them, but still.

I agree with the male who suggested KLF - Chillout.

I like Various ambient pieces by Jochem Paap, it's a bit like Twin's selected Ambient but I prefer Paap.

please could you make it available for download? thank you

wow that Grouper track is fucking phenomenal.

Reminds me of other lesser known drone artists such as Natural Snow Buildings....one half of the duo does psych-neo folk songs as TwinSisterMoon...beautiful stuff.

its on the odd soundtracky precipice between ambient and whatever

group from my hometown area:

[youtubehd]3agl3unOH8U[/youtubehd]

surprised Pete Namlook and his Fax label haven't had a mention yet?

also anything by Tetsu Inoue especially World Receiver which I still hold as one of the best electronic ambient albums evar and I had to get this on CD recently cos its the nuts
