Favourite ambient stuff?

I am old now and seriously always avoided mixmaster morris because I thought he played 150bpm gaba rave hardcore for some reason, its the opposite tho, I dont know how I made that mistake, amazing stuff, it might have been here where I have seen this.

Bit of shameless self promotion here but Iā€™m droppin an EP from Ishamel Cormack next week. You can get a taste of the first single ā€œCritterā€ and a snippets promo mix at the Bandcamp:

I wanted to shout out to a local label from Brussels called Basic Moves. They just launched a new sublabel focused on ambient-y and downtempo stuff. Their first release is well worth a listen with two tracks from local producers. I also love their artwork.

Interested in this but the Youtube stream is down.

Have you got a link to the LPs you mentioned?

bumping. interested

The channel ran for a while and then got taken down for whatever reason, their Youtube channel is here - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6lIJ6iEuEW8j2-YxbIPb8w/videos

This is their Spotify artistā€™s profile: Spotify

If you like that sound Iā€™ve actually got an ambient Americana LP dropping in February on the label, but the first single, ā€œLake of Dreamā€ drops tomorrow:
High & Lonesome | The Howard Hughes Suite | The Slow Music Movement Label although heā€™s from the West of England rather than Arizona

Iā€™ve been trying to collect CDs from this German label Innovative Communication. You could call it New Age rather than ambient i suppose. Some have been reissued but lots of good ones.

Voices from the Lake are finally doing a live gig again at Terraforma festival in Italy. Theyā€™ve been on my bucket list to check out live since many years.

I am hoping that because they are playing live again, they will release a new album. Their 2012 Prologue S/T album is one of the best techno albums released. Fingers crossedā€¦

Not sure if there are any Akira Rabelais fans here, but he released a 4 CD set at the end of last year. High quality ambient music, like most of his releases.

That album is a modern classic. Iā€™m not a fan of hyperboles but here I said itā€¦ Iā€™m checking the Discogs page every month or so hoping it got reissued. We can only hope for a new album.

The vinyl album came with a CD of remixes. The cd is very good as well, I recommend it if you have not heard it.

Itā€™s hard to recommend a few releases, because thereā€™s so much great ambient out there, so I will share two of my playlists.

I have been compiling an ambient playlist for a few years, pretty happy with this one actually.

Also, I have a playlist where I save my favorite ambient Soundcloud mixes.

P.s. Steve Good is an artist that deserves more attention, so if you havenā€™t heard, check out his Bandcamp.
