Ambient Drones

<< < (6/8) > >>

Jedit:
The early Orb cannot be avoided when thinking ambient.  The first two albums (Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld and UFOrb) belong on every ambient shelf.

I shoved up a bit of dronology from the Deep Listening project in the Forced Listening Thread a while back; that one can be found on Epitonic, but I recommend tracking down the whole album (and also Stuart Dempster's solo album recorded in there).

Lastly, try Porcupine Tree's Voyage album.  Very, very dark.

I like Loscil, Brian Eno (Another Green World esp.), Boards of Canada.

If you haven't already you can also download a whole Loscil album for free on the net label one.  It's ace, IMO.  So still, as per the title.

Loscil's CDs are on a label called Kranky.  You can look at their website for artist names and then search better propaganda, where most of them have a sample tune or two.  "Tune".  Hmm.  While you're there you could check out Milosh, who sounds a lot like Boards of Canada with a singer.  

Grrr... Boards of Canada.  *ahem*

My favourite Eno ambient album is Ambient 4: On Land.

I like many releases on Touch, such as Oren Ambarchi's 'Grapes from the Estate', Rafael Toral's 'Violence of Discovery, The Calm of Acceptance' and Fennesz's 'Venice'.  These are all albums ostensibly by guitarists, if that makes it easier for indie hearts to accept.

Presuming you want free business, here are some other net label releases that I reckon vaguely fit the area you've described and which are certainly on a par with heaps of CD releases:

Dighom - Vibrating Colours / Coloured Vibrations
Gras - Gras - Site uses frames, but its catalogue number is gruen005, found under "releases"
Lomov - Vorstadt - This guy has released heaps, his website has all the links.
Vägskäl - As Summer Comes Creeping
.tape. - Sea-Scaping Monthly in 4 or 5 Movements - Links are to Ogg Vorbis files, if you want MP3s follow the link on that page to Archive.org

Meh, that'll do.  I've got more music than I can listen to :( but this is what came to mind to suggest.

Bunnyman:
MOUSE ON MARS!

I'm amazed no one's brought them up.  Nuin Niggung in particular is quite entrancing.

Well nearly everything, I imagine buying their unpressed release would have been pretty dissappointing...
EDIT: To clarify, Coil released "How to Destroy Angels" as unpressed vinyl originally.

The only ambient I have is:
The Cellar by Antonio Cora
Dark River by Coil

Those two are individual tracks. Dark River is very nice (So is the Autchre remix).
The Cellar is a track inspired by The Blair Witch Project and isn't very good.

I think some of Type O Negatives interlude tracks could be considered ambient.

Mouse on Mars are one of my favourites, but I don't consider them anything like the 3 artists originally mentioned, so they never crossed my mind.

Of course same goes for Coil etc.  and even the Orb.  If the original poster wants an ambient history round up I'd be happy to join in.  'UFOrb' and KLF's 'Chill Out' were pretty defining rekkids of a certain place and time for me..
