Actually, I've been finding some really cool stuff in the Bandcamp threads as of late.

One of my favorite albums is Black Swan - In 8 Movements. There's a mega link somewhere, I don't have it. I'm a sucker for the cassette sound, I guess. The tracks are separate entities but transition so well, it's just pretty sweet.
I've taken long car rides to Sabled Sun's I, II, III, and IV, but I've tried to get into the 214X albums and they don't seem to strike as much of a chord with me.
I kinda wanna get a tape recorder so I can run my tracks through it, but I'm broke and I haven't spent a penny on production (outside of a pair of headphones).
I've also thought about trying out the approach of having multiple stages of a song through self-sampling, in the sense that I'll make one track, import it, chop it up, and use that and other things to make a new track. It just seems like a lot of effort, though.
As an artist and a will-be-label-founder, I'm so thankful for all of the recent opportunities I've received (but I'm not supposed to talk about details), so although other parts of my life have gone down the shitter the past few months, ambient music is something I continue to enjoy and look forward to. I've also recently joined ambientonline and it's super-friendly and it seems like a very well-knit community, which I wasn't sure if I was going to see or not.
