You have shit taste. Fuck off.

typical rap fan

>>53470759
>ambient

Try this, I think it's really good and got me into downtempo/psybient

>>53470900
thank you. slow thread, I'll give it a listen.

>Using meme terms like backpambient

Why not just use the correct term, which would be "stepping stone artists" in this case. They may not be the pinnacle
of the electronic genre (like Boards of Canada are), but they still serve the purpose of helping Top 40s listeners transition over to music with more depth.

Or do you actually feel empowered by putting others down?

Give ricky eats acid "ambien music" album a try. I love it

>>53470811
>>53470990
No, I just listen to good ambient.

Cluster, Arvo Part, Eno, the list goes on. Tycho and all of those mentioned in the op is just ambient for people that don't like ambient. Literally the Mumford & Sons of ambient.

This is very good. Incredibly simple, but it hits all the right spots for me.

>>53471132
Once again, you're making blanket statements with nothing to back it up with. I used to be a big Tycho fan back in the day.
It's what eventually got me into artists like BoC and Tangerine Dream. I no longer listen to Tycho, but I'm not gonna put down people who still do.
You're coming off as very immature, m8.

>>53470759
Phaeleh is pretty amazing.
Nujabes
Uyama Hiroto
Blue Sky Black Death
Little People
Matryoska

>>53470759
Skies Falling is very similar to hammock in style, but more guitar oriented.

>>53470759
I'll just keep posting this one, in hope that someone looks it up in the archive.

>>53471339
not him, but that's obviously b8 m8. in every tycho thread there's the "real ambient listener" which spouts the backpambient bullshit.

>>53471374
Noone looks pictures up in the archive though

>>53471339
Stop giving that retard attention

Anyway I've been listening to Pete Namlook lately... very cool spacey atmosphere, not too cheesy, not too bland
His works with Schulze are nice to see the meeting of progressive electronics with space ambient

>>53470759
good ambient right here. anyone know of something like it? so far I've liked cul de sac -death of the sun but that doesn't capture the industrial sound of the fallout soundtrack just the adventure parts

Aphex Twin pioneered his sound so check him out.

came to post this!

>>53470759
literally all backpambient, kill yourself my man

>>53471346
Backing up this nigga. Nujabes and Phaeleh are pretty great. Uyama Hiroto's 'Freedom of the Son' was AOTY for me. I'll add Lone, Oneohtrix Point Never, Haruka Nakamura and I'll probably get slagged for this but I love chilling to Nobuo Uematsu. Hype as fuck for his new solo album.

>>53471447
Namlook is amazing. I've been digging through FAX Records lately and I've found so many gems. Guy's a legend. Shame he's not around anymore.

>>53471533
>Backing up this nigga. Nujabes and Phaeleh are pretty great.
My dude.
Do you have a link for Haruka Nakamura and/or 'Freedom of the Sun'?

>>53470759
all of those are terrible except SotL which are good

>>53471533
OP here. Nujabes is legit. Cried when he passed away in 2010.

srsly this album is better than the movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WZtrkkcH9M

>come to a board looking to expand my taste in music

>gets shit on for not having listened to any of these bands yet

Christ. if you want people to discover better music you should just talk to them. We all started with shit taste and expanded.

I said "bands like this" meaning I like the genre and wasn't shit posting saying "OMG TYCHO". Pandora and iTunes radio is limiting.

/mu/ gets this reputation for being edgy hipsters with a smug complex for this shit.

I am writing all of these bands down, and expanding my knowledge on this snow day.

I don't mind having "shit taste" to start with because I want to get better.

dont be /mu/tants

>>53471132
Pärt is not even ambient and Eno is just as entry level as Tycho

>>53471842
>dont be /mu/tants
>be a com/mu/nity
Damn...

>>53471852
How exactly is entry-level a bad thing?

>>53471842
>dont be /mu/tants
>be a com/mu/nity

Right in the feels.

>>53471443
the name of the album is literally written on it though

>>53471881
It's not, just the guy I was replying to tried to look contrarian as fuck by bashing Tycho, so I proved him wrong.

>>53471132
>the list goes on

>>53471842
>dont be /mu/tants

Aww this is so cute

>>53471892
I said that because I looked it up and there was nothing though

i am a pleb who has until recently just been listening to top40 garbage. i found tycho and liked him a lot and have been branching out from there. how do i unpleb

>never said anything about liking rap
/mu/ is going to shit and everyone on here has Aspergers

>>53472143
Just listen to Aphex twin since hes pleb now

I love ambient, anon. These guys are really spectacular. You should also check out energostatic records if you want some great spacey stuff for free.

lol Tycho is just as shallow if not more than top40 pop

Pausal, chill ambient with hints of nature

>>53471842
>Christ.
good artist tbh

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhXq_bQJ_i4

Another great artist.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_ks7fNkqdU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5hU_ty5FpE (same guy, different name)

Other classic artists you should listen to are Kruder & Dorfmeister, Tosca, Healer, Nordlight, Noiseshaper, and Air (Moon Safari).

In my opinion, dubby reggae-inspired ambient is the most relaxing, but I like spacelike stuff too. Global Communication is probably the best example of the latter.

If you like the SOTL's style of ambient (drones, with swells). Definitely check out Willamette. They have two albums that are top notch. Same two brothers are also in the ambient group Northern which is worth looking into.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIvlCLYgIT8|

Jefre Cantu-Ledesma has a lot of great ambient albums, encompassing from noise and shoegazey textures to pure drone bliss. Check out Bloodstream Sermon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E86NBqyiw4g

Another great group is Rameses III and their offshoot Padang Food Tigers. Great minimalist ambient with nature field recordings and sparse folk instrumentation.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppkGOxpQJZM

Oh, and The Fun Years. Duo with a baritone guitar and sampling/effects/electronics. Great mix of sounds here.

>>53472412 me again. please everyone listen to pausal. you will not disappoint. more on various bandcamps

I've been listening to Discourses of the Withered for nearly every day now. Can't really get into his other stuff though.

>>53471842
I agree

>>53472730

tbh I've not listened to a lot of their stuff but what I have is a 50/50 of if i like it. Liking this Discourses on the first listen though. You might like continents if you've not heard it, has a similar spacey washy feel

I would like to try to get into dark ambient, and it would be appreciated if anyone could rec me some entry tier shit.

Listening to it now I like it.
Be sure that you get the version of Discourses that has "Retranslating the Upside-down Mountain" in it. It's probably the best song on it but was only added in a reissue.

>>53473241
Will do, thanks.

I just got Pausal's Along the Mantic Spring from that label, I recommend it (though it's droney like Celer is)

>>53473281
NOT droney*!

>>53473075
>>53473199
Thank you very much! I will definitely check these out.

all seconded


if you like SotL definitely check out Kyle Bobby Dunn's newest album, here's a track from it
https://soundcloud.com/kylebobbydunn/boring-foothills-of-foot

for incredibly pleasant drones to zone away to there's David Tagg, i've never seen him mentioned here but his stuff is great plus it's all name your price on his bandcamp (i'd recommend Waist Deep Seas of Milk & Fundamentals of Orchid Biology)
https://davidtagg.bandcamp.com/

Hakobune is also pretty good, he has a metric ton of releases but i'd recommend last year's Seamless and Here the most out of them all
https://hakobune.bandcamp.com/album/seamless-and-here-2

Pausal has already been mentioned but i just want to say that Autumnal is a seriously overlooked release of theirs and also their best
https://pausal.bandcamp.com/album/autumnal


>>53472600
>>53472648
could you possibly recommend me some stuff? you seem pretty well-versed in the ambient genre


>>53472971
Morals and Dogma by Deathprod is pretty accessible but also fucking amazing
