― hector (hector), Thursday, 22 January 2004 22:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I was pissed, I had like 12 albums in my head before I even opened the thread and every last one was already listed.

I have to get off my bum and finally make that ambient mix I have been thinking about since I finished the winter mix.

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 22 January 2004 23:36 (twenty-two years ago)

woah wrong thread... eep!

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 22 January 2004 23:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Wolf Eyes = death ambient!

― Russ, Thursday, 22 January 2004 23:49 (twenty-two years ago)

b-b-but Russ I already put Earth up there (and they were on Sub Pop!)

I think the first 1-2 minutes of every Wolf Eyes show is kinda ambient (uh... maybe not).

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 22 January 2004 23:58 (twenty-two years ago)

The "Wolf Eyes & Spykes" CDR was very ambient (to these ears). And when they get the horns droning through fx...

-66. autechre - Garbage

― Leee Majors (Leee), Friday, 23 January 2004 01:52 (twenty-two years ago)

ok ok,

this is pretty fucking ridiculous, but the hope of it being anywhere close to something that could be described as 'accurate' was never there, right? In that case, this has been an interesting selection of Ambient, and i commend you all.

― Rob McD, Friday, 23 January 2004 02:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Why is it ridiculous?

Do you have some hidden super special definition of Ambient that God on high gave to you?

except for the Wolf Eyes thing everything else seems to fall within the required boundries
