Ambient - The Megathread

Andrew Chalk has uploaded a a bunch of newer and older nuggets including vinyl and cassette only releases over on BC. Dig in! 

(Couldn't find the original WuMo version.)

Any Laraaji fans here?

I love Ambient 3 with Eno, and am looking for more of his stuff in that vein - i.e. very rhythmic and driving (as opposed to droney).

Suggestions?

Maybe some of Loscil's work? Or is that still too droney?

New Jacaszek album released in March I missed a few months back:

I meant specifically from Laraaji, but that sounds cool too!

All of Laraaji's releases on Leaving Records are amazing and his work on All Saints.

I fucking love this thread. I started on top of this last page, and I'm currently at all those lovely mountain albums from David Parsons. Amazing abience, perfect for home office working. Although I'm a bit concerned about my own listening preference changing from more complex and up-tempo music to ambient techno, then to pure ambient and droney stuff, and now mostly sorta new age space ambient. If this continues I guess will listen to whale noises only in a few years.

Heard one of his tracks on the radio the other day, it was very good. That's the first time I've heard his music and it was worthy of further investigations.

I may be late to the party with this, but just found out that Robert Fripp released all his "Music for Quiet Moments" pieces. They are on youtube here:

As well as usual streaming platforms. Lovely lovely lovely stuff.

Just realised Sigur Ros has released several droney ambient albums. Currently on Route One and it's Lush AF.

It's not possible for a band to produce ambient, least of all one with 30 members.  Ambient is produced by individual male auteurs, with occasional collaboration allowed, preferably other white men.  Please use the correct and preferred terms.

Manbient can be substituted for ambient if the individual is particularly worthy of respect i.e. older than 40.  Otherwise:

Check out Jonsi & Alex's "Riceboy Sleeps" if you haven't already.
