Do you listen to ambient music? - General

I'm interested in seeing how many actually listens to this cool genre. I'm a quiet fan of ambients, as they're quite different from the more popular genres like trance, rock, metal, heavy, pop etc. Ambients are usually quieter, calming and if done right, astoundingly beautiful. usually instrumental though, i think they're awesome soundtracks for YOUR life. When walking on the streets, sitting in subways, browsing through FP or anything else like that, ambients are a cool music to play on the background. Of course, ambient has it's sub-genres like experimental ambient, dark ambient etc. Some examples i know personally (You can post other good songs if you know any): [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1zFf4RYbZQ&feature=related[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjMbKBjrwK8[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYr2D8Pf-Cs&feature=related[/media]

The only ambient music I like are Aphex Twin's songs.

No, I don't.

So much that I don't really remember any of it. This keeps on happening all the time...

Then when it dissappears it's just like you'd notice your heart isn't beating. that "Something vital is missng" - feeling, you know

Yes I do. I listen to Akira Yamaoka (composer for Silent Hill). [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6L9Cbs0m_U[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44I2VB96ryU[/media]

I quite enjoy listening to Death Cube K and Lustmord. Not at 2am though. [i]No, not again...[/i]

I wouldn't say its ambient, but thats, just, like, my opinion, man.

I'm not sure if you'll consider this ambient music but I sure enjoy listening to Nujabes. It has a hip hop jazzy feel to it. Feels good to listen to it after a long day. Some of his songs were used in Samurai Champloo. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2O0kuoiAm2A[/media]

sometimes

I find ambient music really soothing and helps me think.

I was going to say no but then I realized I inject the Silent Hill soundtracks in my ears on a daily basis.

Sometime. I listen to Mike Oldfield. Songs of distant earth ftw

My fav at the moment... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWAhVbayGv4[/media]

Chillout, Ambient, Downtempo, IDM, I listen to all of it. Love it to death. Ever heard of Kahvi Records? They are an awesome free netlabel for new Ambient and IDM artists.

I listen to those 800% slowed down songs which end up sounding like ambient music

Theres a couple of Halo songs which are ambient i need to find them!

Can Prefuse 73 be considered ambient?

Brian Eno ?

Listening to the portal/half-life 2 ambients

Check out the EVE online sound track. Also some of the Crystal Method ambient tracks (Bad Stone, Tru Grit...)

[QUOTE=Sabrina;24248998]And the Half-Life series. Kelly Bailey is an awesome composer.[/QUOTE] This, game soundtracks can be amazing. I remember going through my old Call of Duty 2 sound files just to extract the music.

Dont know if it counts as ambient, but "Far Away" on the red dead redemption soundtrack is such a beautiful song [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO1SGvFSgZQ[/url]

No

Brian Eno is awesome, as well as Aphex Twin.
