I guess I'll get the ball rolling

>Steve Roach - Structures from Silence (1984)

This album's pretty comfy. There's 3 tracks on here, each more emercive than the last. I think the title track was much longer than it needed to be, but ambient music is normally pretty long. If you want some comfy space ambient check it out.

>7/10

Next up is Eno's Ambient 4

This is a good idea for a thread. If you're a fan of Eno's Ambiebt series, definitely check out his latest record, The Ship. It's easily one of his best ever.

This is the first time seeing this thread but I like the idea. I'm into ambient already so this will be a nice opportunity to expand my taste. If I enjoy Eno, Budd, and SOTL, what would you recommend to me? I guess I think of it as sort of musically satisfying and rich but still ambient and usually without percussion or vocals.

Oh and it's sunday. Happy listening.

Bohren & der Club of Gore - Black Earth

8/10. Pretty good for some dark jazzy ambient

This is a really great concept for a thread I hope it catches on.

>>68340357
I actually heard this for the first time the other day having been a big fan of both Eno and Cluster. Very impressive I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected, Wermet and Steinsame are both masterpieces. I'd probably give it an 8.5/10, maybe a 9 if it was strictly a 10 point scale.


Any thoughts on this album? Definitely one of my favorite ambient records and in my opinion the best kraut-ambient albums. I get a much more desolate vibe out of this than I do Phaedra or Rubicon.

>Gas - Pop
Great album, I believe the best from the artist.

Shit, I should have looked through the catalog before making a thread about Dropped Pianos.
Anyways...

What are some similar ambient albums to Dropped Pianos? I know it is a minimalist version of Ravedeath, but to me they are so much different; I prefer Dropped Pianos much more. Are there anymore super minimal ambient albums that can compare?

I like all of the ambient works by Eno, and yes, the first album is very minimal. But the vocal manipulations clash with the subtle piano imo. If the album was 100% piano focused then I think it would be much better.

Thanks for the rec. I'd like to recommend 25,000 kittens. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite albums.

Dropped pianos is one of mine tim hecker favorite works. It's more classical ambient style than drone style

love love LOVE yoshimura. music for nine postcards is top 5 ambient of all time for me.

check out this mix, which features yoshimura along with lots of other likeminded japanese ambient, and go from there (inoyama land, midori takada, etc.):

Zeit is probably my favorite ambient album of all time. BOLP is my favorite ambient piece of all time. I love it so much
>>68340357
quite possibly my favorite effort from either artist
what does my think of Pavilion oF Dreams?

You guys got any albums that incorporate lots of field recordings?

I have been getting into a lot of field recording/ sound collage myself.

Julia Holter's - Live Recordings (2010) album has a great mix of ambient instrumental elements, soothing and healing vocal layers, and illusive field recordings and samples.

This album, along with all of her early efforts, are criminally underrated and under discussed

This is the one of the few samples I could find on YT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yoz7djrXErI

While this album is great, my favorite album that heavily uses field recordings and found sounds would have to be Set Fire To Flames - Sings Reign Rebuilder, however; this album would be considered more of a sound-collage rather than an ambient album.

bumping with this album.

I have always loved the piano works of Chopin and this album expands on his pieces by creating an ambient atmosphere around them.

yeah it was cool to get some more ambient stuff from him!

>>68337652
Where should I start with Brian Eno?

>68347673
For Ambient just start with 1 and go through the whole series in chronological order. If you want art rock try Another Green World and Here Come the Warm Jets.

>>68347802
Oops I didn't do that right
>>68347673

Like this idea. So, I was never huge on ambient, I pretty much only listened to Eno and some random Vaporwave. Loved Eno's ambient works, especially the more synthetic ones (Apollo, For Films) - what are other essentials to fill my week with?

Budd's best work, by far. Sublime nocturnal ambient jazz. One of the the closest things in spirit to Miles Davis's In a Silent Way, and that's my favorite album of all time. I love how buttery, sparkly Fender Rhodes and celeste sonically dominate the album. After this, Budd mainly eschewed the Rhodes for relatively uninteresting treated pianos. Big shame imo. Also there's a fucking operatic Pharaoh Sanders cover. Unbelievable.

Also, for me Pavilion of Dreams has always evoked the cover of pic related (though musically it's unrelated).

OP here, I got work tomorrow and I won't get home until late. Can someone make this thread for me if this thread dies? All you have to do is copy the sticky and picture but change "last thread" to this one. Thanks in advance!

>>68337652
Ambient 2 is so much better

>>68351355
I agree, I only picked 1 because it's more iconic

>>68342916
Zeit is possibly one of the best albums of all time. Zeit is way too powerful to just be ambient. I don't know why but everytime i listen to it i get absorbed and i just can't focus on anything other than the album. Birth Of Liquid Prejades is my favorite song of all time.

>Edward Artemiev - Solaris, The Mirror, Stalker

Half the shit is above decent ambient tracks and the other half is cheesy MIDI-sounding music, which is weird because these tracks come from 70s movies. I thought MIDI was an 80s and 90s thing but I guess I'm wrong. Maybe they were rerecorded, idk. If you ain't down with MIDI then get your pleb ass off mu and sit with the losers. Overall, this gets a...
