Ambient Music - Your Hidden Gems

I don't know whether they've already been mentioned, but I turn to the Norwegian/Irish duo Secret Garden for my atmospheric/relaxation music.

 

it is one hell of an album , right ?

first name that comes to mind are orb live circa 1993 but still not the same thing as they don't have that calm, serene, beatless element of 30.7.94

however i will tell you to check out this one , it's Sir Paul (of the Beatles) with the Orb engineer aka Youth

very nice mellow and peaceful album , give it a try (full album playlist at the link below)

 

fantastic discovery of the day

 

I'm kind of new to ambient music, but my favorite so far is Chuck Johnson's "Balsams" (don't think it's been mentioned yet in the thread). Gorgeous pedal steel ambience.

 

ambient album/discovery of the year so far

should also work wonders with all of you that meditate

 

maybe try this one ? an acquired taste but i think you will dig it

Chris Meloche - Recurring Dreams [6 hours all dreams]

 

Something entirely different here - Call of the Valley, light Indian classical music.

 

Thanks, proedros - don't know this one (will track and report back), only Meloche's two terrific Fax albums.
Recurring Dreams Of The Urban Myth (1994)
Wireless (1995)

 

well , if you like RDOTUM then this one will be right up your alley

imagine RDOTUM only being 6-hours long instead of 1

 

These sound kinda Sun Electric-ish to me:




Assembly Of Honey - Music For Internal Use / Music For External Use -- got the long drawn out pads, deep bass, and Frippish noises, maybe not as rhythmic as 30.7.94 but maybe more of a companion piece? Both are "Name Yer Price" lossless downloads from Bandcamp.

Guess you know that is literally what it is, proedros. Now to find the six hours to hear it.

 

Very soothing, Geoff. 30.7.94 reminds me more of these two these David Sylvian + Holger Czukay wonders
Plight & Premonition (1988)
Flux + Mutability (1989)
Poor audio version here

 

these 2+2 are also great , you probably know them if not try them out

Klaus Wiese - Tariqa
Klaus Wiese - El Hadra

Datacide - Datacide II
Datacide - Flowerhead

Stars of the Lid - And Their Refinement of the Decline (2007)

It's my favorite ambient album and helped get me through a pretty rough patch in life.

 

Fantastic project.

Trace: Sound Design Works 1986-1989, by Yutaka Hirose

 

This is a wonderful dark find, proedros - thanks. Listened first as background (day off, getting to chores) but thought it requires headphones & attention - an unearthed gem.
