Let's throw a lovely bit of Bersarin Quartett into the mix, eh?

  - Oooh yes thanks for reminding of that record. Gonna pop it on now.

    - I love it
      
      perfect for this back end of winter kind of feel.
      
      I'm trying to think of another one that I like to go to at this time. Had it on sportify before I deleated it all after not using it much. Its by a lass who plays cello and I swore it was a on Type as well but I can't seem to place her name now.
      
      Murcof is good'un tho too.

      - The only Skelton I am familiar with
        
        is Verse of Birds from last year. That was more modern classical than ambient but truly stunning

        I've not dug any deeper than that record really
        
        might do one day, that album is pretty spesh to me.
        
        FOund the other one I was thinking of.
        
        hildur gudnadottir
        
        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSwj3wuhkvM
        
        ambient/modern classical, same thing to me.

        I'd say there's a diference between the two
        
        but most records straddle the two these days

        I've never really heard a modern classical album that...
        
        gets above ambient in energy so, they're kinda one and the same to me. Maybe there is a really rawkus strine I've not heard tho.

        There is a strand sure
        
        but call it what you like really, is just a name

        ambient is more of a multi genre mood thing rather than a genre its self
        
        wouldn't mind hearing some of that rawkus modern classical at some point then haha.

        Get confused with these genres.
        
        What's the difference between ambient and drone?
        
        lgordon @wonton | 24 Feb '13, 22:59 | X | ^ This | Reply
        
        Often something that is drone (especially prettier drones)
        
        can also be called ambient...but if it gets more intricate (Boards of Canada etc) then I guess it can only be ambient.
        
        wonton @lgordon | 24 Feb '13, 23:02 | X | ^ This | Reply
        
        drone is music consisting of long, sustained/repeated notes and chords
        
        anything from Gregorian chant to Indian ragas to minimalism like Tony Conrad to Stars of the Lid to Sunn o))) can count as drone.
        
        ambient music in the strict sense is more about unobtrusive 'background' music which isn't necessarily that musical...like, there might only be the faintest trace of melody. see Eliane Radigue, Eno's ambient stuff...
        
        but then there's an inevitable crossover.
        La Monte Young is the crux of this, given that his minimal take on drone pretty much laid the foundations for Eno, Tangerine Dream and the like.

      - Ahh Murcof's sick.
        
        Love his use of strings. I'm a sucker for any vaguely cinematic atmospheric string work.

Has anybody heard '...And Darkness Came' ?

Details are here: http://headphonecommute.bandcamp.com/album/and-darkness-came
Pretty perfect if you're looking for ambient/soundtrack composition-y type music (a la Clint Mansell, Bersarin Quartett, Clem Leek etc.) I've been listening to it non-stop to help with my work, I can't recommend it enough.

the BR stuff is great. 'Music from the film that never got made' and 'Real life is overrated' are great little records.

nice thread Jords

howabout something very ambient indeed, one of my faves - Pausal..

http://open.spotify.com/album/0qZqgtBgIndDuYWa1qHOMe

amazing for a sunday-morning-after-a-heavy-one, as well as a gentle goodbye weekend soundtrack to drift off to..

if you can dig out the album Pathless that has Fading Youth 1 & 2 which is probably my favourite of HIs. gorgeous stuff

I'm very glad to have discovered these guys

http://talkwest.bandcamp.com/album/freights-fields-2

"Tulsa, OK multi-instrumentalist and Scissortail Records guy Dylan Golden Aycock delivers this stunning batch of drone-folk meditations fashioned with a truly refreshing mix of synths, loops, air organ, and expressive pedal steel. These sunken timber hymns harken back to the roots of American experimentalism but stand in their own new space, lonesome bedroom ballads tinged with universal nostalgia."
