O yeah I totally forgot about V Snares. SHAME ON ME SHAME ON ME SHANE ON ME lol shane....

 

Stone in Focus will be the song played at my funeral hopefully not soon.

 

Hah yeah people underestimate Snares versatility no doubt.

gotta admit I actually think the one track you posted there is enjoyable. I tried some of his music but hated it.

 

 

are there more VS ambient tunes?

His only ambient album is My Downfall (Original Soundtrack).

He has a few classical/Hungarian tracks on Rossz csillag alatt született that I fancy.

I agree, some of his music is a bit too aggressive for my taste. Particularly his earlier stuff.

However I do like his recent album Detrimentalist, because it's much more structured.

There's also "P" from Cavalcade and "Aaron" from Huge Chrome Cylinder Box Unfolding for his ambient stuff.

Venetian Snares is not ambient, he just has a couple of subdued songs

Biosphere & Deathprod's Album is the last ambient i listened to and it's really cool

Jet Chamber

Brian Grainger's got a few

Pan Sonic

lol... i remember once a few years ago when one of these threads came up. i simply said "go outside and close your eyes. do you hear that? ambient!"

but seriously. experimedia.net has a great roster that does ambient. also 12k.com.

Say what you will, but FSOL are the masters of reverb.

FSOL: Lifeforms, Environments II, and pretty much everything really

The Orb: Adventures and Terrarum are the only two I really class as ambient

Biosphere: Most of it, but particularly Substrata and Cirque

Spacetime Continuum: Sea Biscuit

Aphex: Both Ambient Works, particularly II

Eno: Ambient 1 and 4

Global Communication: 76:14

KLF: Chill Out

Gas: Zauberberg (never really dug the other three)

Woob: 1194

And a whole heap of other obvious stuff

Also,

Apollyon: Veror Aesik

Encomiast: Espera

Off-Land: Commute

Wintermute: Widescreen

Carbon Based Lifeforms - Hydroponic Garden

And anything of Underworld's that's mellow and chilled, which is a fair bit.

Anything by Vidna Obmana....excepting his earlier noise works that were just re-released....

Steve Roach

Robert Rich

Lustmord

Alio Die

The Solaris Soundtrack

Shades of Orion Vol. 2

some of Ma Ja Le's stuff is awesome
