Taylor Deupree is one of the biggest names in ambient so don't know about that, either.

>>68294147
Not OP, I didn't find him for years, but he's done a lot of cool stuff.

It never really gets talked about, but it's an absolutely great album.

>>68295563

How's that underrated in any way? Literally everyone praises it.

>>68295563
Lol
Overrated as heck

>>68295563
lol and i agree, deupree is v well known

>>68291882
brian mcbride's solo stuff gets overshadowed by SOTL but it's really good regardless

I recommend you guys 'Playthroughs' by Keith Fullerton Whitman. Great yet not that well known ambient record.

I really dig a lot of ambient but I'm not super familiar with the genre

I've been listening to Tim Hecker a lot and I love his insane dense textures and arrangements but I also love SAWII for how dreamlike and beautiful it is. Are there any good albums that combine those elements?

Also is Coil's Musick to Play in the Dark 2 considered ambient?

>>68296497
try this?

>>68291882
I'm always trying to give this album some attention

>>68296497
Love Is A Stream by Jefre Cantu Ledesma
October Language by Belong
No Pussyfooting by Fripp & Eno
Musick To Play In The Dark is kind of an industrial ambient mix I would say.

Idk guys, Aphex Twin is pretty underground. Check him out

No matter how many times I post it, I rarely if ever see any replies to Empty City. Those that do, though, typically agree on it being a good album, so I suppose it fits here.

>>68297323
I'll give it a listen, that's what the thread's for :)

Pic related is one of my favorite ambient albums. I have never seen it posted here and it has about 30 ratings on RYM.

>>68297323
this is good, is the rest of his stuff worth checking out?

>>68299825
The Shipyard is the most similar, but Passing Through Alone is actually a synthpop album. I haven't heard the rest of his work, but apparently he has around 10 albums in total, most of which are classified as ambient, so I'd say yes.

I liked Marjin

>>68299991
Tim Hecker is the best ambient music producer atm, in no way underrated.

>>68300044
dauw is pretty different. less noise, more acoustic guitar. extremely textural, like marijn, but in a minimalist way, not a maximalist one

both are great

>>68300069
the album is underrated, not timmy
this one and mirages don't get enough attention

OK I can see you thinking that Mirages is underrated, to me the album is just not that good (Truth of Accountants is neat but otherwise its not the stuff you go to Hecker for) but Radio Amor is not underrated. Its less talked about than Virgins or Ravedeath or Harmony, but given how kickass those three albums are, being 4th place is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. It was actually my first Hecker album and started my unending love for him.

Pospulenn - Sun People Sleepwalker
The Fun Years - all their shit
Yoga - Megafauna
Dolphins into the Future - Canto Arquipelago

Also Harmony is still best Timmy

>>68300258
Rave>Virgins>Harmony=Radio>Love Streams>else

>>68300215
listen to it again, but do it while day-drinking and reflecting on your pathetic life, that's when it hits hardest

i actually saw tim live in montreal a week ago. he filled the room with dense fog so that you couldn't even see the ceiling. everyone was lying on the ground. i didn't realize until the end that he was performing very closely to me. i didn't have the courage/had too much of the autism to say hello, maybe ask him a question or talk about john cassavetes or something. got within a few meters of him though.

>>68300388
I'd love to see him but the last time he was in Prague was like 5 years ago or so...I should just an hero or something

How the fuck did Love Streams leak the day it was announced?

>>68300561
same reason like 9/11...inside job

>>68299958
dauw's pretty good but it had parts that dragged on for a bit (especially the last song)

>>68300258
ive only listened to baby its cold inside but the fun years sounds like they're supposed to sound really good but it kind of comes across as cliche

also never understood love for tim hecker. only one that even stands out is virgins

>>68300462
I actually got to see him a couple of months ago in Madrid. He gave a top-notch performance and surprisingly I managed to talk to him later. He talked rather eccentric; he called me 'good-looking', which is the only compliment I've got in years, maybe.

>>68300685
I've listened to the Fantano interview with him and yeah, he seems like a pretty strange guy. He makes very serious, dark and melancholic music but his real-life persona seemed very "pop" and funny. I liked how he talked about how important visual art in general was for his music production. It seems pretty obvious in the last 3 or 4 records, they really seem to musically impersonate certain visual aesthetics that also feature on the album covers.

Finally someone else! This is one of my favorites.


>>68300630
>also never understood love for tim hecker. only one that even stands out is virgins


Virgins is one of my least favorites of his. I think Haunt Me, Haunt Me is his best.
This shit right here is one of the best ambient albums to come out in years. I never see it posted and it's a shame.


Also Kyle Bobby Dunn is v good as well

I also recommend Brock Van Wey - White Clouds Drift On and On

>>68300762
''Pop'' and funny, yes, it fits with how personally I perceived him. Though I think (I was pretty damn sure at the moment) it is defensive mechanism, that he's often insecure socially anxious and insecure, and, in fact, doesn't like to interact with strangers.

This is one of my absolute favourites. I love his minimal, glitchy approach on this album.
Never seen him or his work discussed on /mu/, but maybe I haven't browsed enough ambient/electronic threads yet.

>>68301055
dunno, maybe he isn't insecure but just a weird guy
anyway this might interest you http://www.spin.com/2013/10/tim-hecker-virgins-attack-of-the-drones-interview/

just listen to his work chronologically tbqh

starting with his weakest record might put some ppl off

>There are framed photos of Roger Federer mid-swing (“It’s slightly melancholic when I look at that, because he doesn’t play like that anymore — he’s like a kind of shallow, hollowed man”) and Tupac Shakur, whose eyes follow you around the room (“he’s always looking over my mix choices, always looking at me when I’m not going hard enough or stepping it up”).

>>68291882
So you just want a thread of 12k releases?

Listen to choral by the mountains its good

>>68301206
they should stop being plebs then

and haunt me is great even tho it is one of his weakest. its no pablo honey, its just not quite as good as the rest of his stuff. trust me, it was a great experience seeing the progression of his music. i did this with stars of the lid, autechre, aphex twin, and brian eno too. so worth it
