[S1gnsOfL1fe]

Ohhhhh more space!!! I love recommendations. Ready for mine?

Anything from the "Ultimae Records" catalog. There, I said it!!! :cool:

Their latest release comes from "Connect.OHM"...the album "9980"...outstanding ambient music!!!

There will be more I'll be raving about...I'm sure.

Oh and the new Trifonic album is out!!!!!!!!!!

My favourite label at the moment is Luxus-Arctica

Favourite 'trad' ambient there is Marcus Fischers 'Arctic/Antarctic', smooth, droney and just gorgeous.

Also a couple of great albums by Visuelle Musik and Erik Nilsson. Very nice collections of processed sounds and minimal electronics.

And The Light Galaxia, lovely stuff.

Not familiar with his stuff, sounds really 'deep' from the samples.

So much music to check out since joining this forum...

New AES Dana album out December 1st!!! (Can't wait! :love

I think the first Burial album could be classed as ambient. Maybe a little harsher sounding and beat-based than trad ambient, but a mighty fine listen. That guy does some frighteningly good things with sound. I've been listening to this a lot recently. At rather high volume:eek:

[Heaven And Hell]

I'll have to look them up.

And legend has it he does it all in Soundforge audio editor, not with a conventional DAW or sequencer. Arranging beats visually like that must take some concentration but I guess that's what gives those records their uniqueness, everything is not locked to a grid.

If you listen to Spaceape really loud on a good HiFi system the vocal is staggering. The voice itself is notable for its accent and inflection, but the stereo processing adds a sinister edge to the track. It just fills the room like some menacing infestation.

Going to have to concur re: the Ultimae stuff. Modern masters, as it were. This, along w/ Biosphere, late 70's Klaus Schulze, some Eno // Bowie, John Foxx and Cabaret Voltaire, and even some COIL. My holiday playlist.
