can a noise dude recommend some AMBIENT

Here's a track off the new one, sounds fucking great tbh:

yagya - rigning

fuzzed-out, all-encompassing ambient that fills the entire sound spectrum

loscil's coast/range/arc is fulfilling this need atm:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuJpKYfDhBY

this loscil was good iirc

i like that one a lot too

celer's menggayakan also hitting the spot lately

https://soundcloud.com/analogpath/menggayakan-sample

So there's this semi-obscure ambient/drone album that I used to love and I can't find it or remember who it was.
I think the whole album was only three long tracks or so and it sounded like a barge slowly scraping against an iceberg.
It was very sludgy, almost like Nadja but no drums and deeper and lo-fi(you could hear the thickness of the tape, not a lot of high end) and it felt like it was maybe an 80s cassette release?

Anybody with any idea? I think I might've read about it as a recommendation from Milton or another old school noize board dude.

N/m, found it!
Albumina Blues by Courtis. Get it if you don't got it.

reynols?

Yeah, it's Anla Courtis but just attributed to "Courtis". It's a 2001 release of some 90s recordings.

how is bvdub so consistently great

i like bvdub

bvdub is prolific and miserable and gorgeous

can't keep up with his output. this was a good one

I totally recommend the Justin Walter album Lullabies & Nightmares that came out last month on Kranky. Nice soft and somewhat marshmallowy synths that chug along in a Cluster-ish sort of way, plus processed trumpet that makes me think of Jon Hassell. Great album all the way through.

can somebody give me recs in a v new age music enthnography-via-keyboard-presets vein, like eno-hassell but much more minimal and canned. crystalvibrations blogspot has been out of business for quite a while now and i have minimal sources. woke up at four in the morning last night with selected ambient works vol ii playing on a loop and it was so unpleasant. namaste.

vangelis katsoulis - the sleeping beauties
i am the center: private issue new age music in america 1950-1990

bunch of ECM stuff maybe? not strictly speaking all keyboard-y i guess

yeah i really want to hear that i am the center album. will check out vangelis katsoulis, never heard that name. also listening to in gardens where we feel secure but its picnic at hanging rock and i want walkabout

world standard!

yeah ecm is a good call

i knew you would be the one to ask clouds!

is this too major key for what y're looking for?

:D

hailu mergia and his classical instrument

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXfeg_Wgll0

have listened to the last track on repeat more than once, it is perfect

no this is all awesome actually

you mentioned hassell but have you heard the aka/darbari/java album? i could seriously live in this soundworld

John Turman - Flux

sorry, that's Robert Turman

http://youtu.be/2PKWTsKXExE

clouds otm re: aka/darbari... i wish there were hours and hours of that stuff!

aka/darbari/java rulez

loving this turman album atm, tx

sakamoto was my first thought. some iasos might scratch yr itch

mkwaju ensemble:

hiroshi yoshimura (particularly if you like mercuric dance):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpKL1hvTsUM

his first one is a little more solitary and sad than most of these but is not unlike some of that turman lp. worth checking out in any case:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cnGUT9n5iQ

ahh Surround 1 by hiroshi yoshimura is really really nice

soundscape 1: surround, rather. there was a cool collage on wh@t that had a bunch of japanese stuff like that and mkwaju ensemble

yeah, didn't see any youtubes, but soundscape 1 is my favorite! it's the most mercuric dance-y

and I know the collage you're talking about, mainly stuff from the fairlights, mallets, and bamboo mixes:

which are also really nice...

oooh dope!!

Finis Africae - El Secreto de las 12

i was thinking of recommending finis africae, wasn't sure it fit the bill for this thread, but damn fine stuff nonetheless. there's a great reissue comp on japanese label EM that i think i mentioned on one of the balearic threads

really loving these particularly the first one!

cool!

and that aka/darbari/java clip is real nice. one of many hassell albums I still need to hear...

can a noise dude recommend some drone on the more 'chill' side of the spectrum e.g. stars of the lid or kyle bobby dunn, stuff similar to that

i'm fond of celer (as i've prob mentioned a couple times on this thread)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2kpFWG8bq4

they (now he, since his wife died) are extremely prolific; you can start anywhere imo but the above + menggayakan and compositions for cassette are the ones i return to most often

there are a couple of celer lps on blackest rainbow that i really like as well fwiw
