Its funny how guys who once made music with Napalm Death end up making ambient stuff!Brian Eno.. Heard a lot about him but never really heard his music, will check it out Alan.Thanks!It's one of the reasons mick left ND...they didn't like "his direction"...The First Scorn LP is like a mixture of Godflesh, Napalm Death and "Ambience" (lots of dub whigouts at the end of tracks)...I thought it was an amazing departure of the ND sound at the time, but now I listen to it...you can still hear the influence of the blast stuff in it...blah blah.PS< "FINAL", is Justin Broadrick's more easily gotten Ambient Stuff..."Slashes (////////)" is ana mazing track, you'd love it (just light piano riffs with droney guitars coming in (9 mins long or so)...and as if by magic...you can get heaps of Final on his avalanche inc website : s o u n d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mora-Treat-Guru Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Two artists I listen to a lot:Marsen Jules Lustmord (Dark Ambient, well, for the releases I've heard)Also, some Musique Concrte material may also be in line with ambient, but I'm not too sure on artists or pieces just now... Probably best to explore that one for yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatHand Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Try Alex Smoke - Paradolia. This is a beautiful electro album, well worth owning (and not as expensive if you buy it in one up).Soma Records :: Shop :: Music :: Alex Smoke :: ParadoliaShunt - The Official Recoil WebsiteThis is pretty dark and new project from Alan WildeMode previously of Depeche Mode.

Was on holiday a few weeks ago in Berlin techno city... some wicked clubs.I think the Alex Smoke album stands up against anything I heard over there though. As an album it totally works, more of a journey, rather than it being a collection of disperate techno tunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
