'Submers' and 'First Narrows' have steadily been my favorites, I think they are archetypes of Loscil's sound. Great depth and density, underwater waltzes. You can't go wrong with either, though I'd recommend 'Submers' for starters.

Lustmord is too obvious?

Gonna have to dig through this thread more because this type of stuff is up my alley recently.

Anyone have anything to say about CM Von Hausswolff? The bits on iTunes sound promising but hard to judge this type of stuff with clips that short.

Also if anyone cares, here's something I did for a friend's art installation a number of years ago: https://files.me.com/seancarruthers/c6tod4.mp3

Second Loscil's _Submers_ as the album to start with, as it's the one that hooked me to pikc.

Also, Loscil's _Stases_ is a free album download here. It's at ...archive.org, as it seems the original site is defunct. Good bookend to his first four albums.

"to pikc" = "to pick up his other albums". There are also a handful of compilation tracks on iTunes, if you're a completist.

Man, thanks for the Submers recommendations. Listening to it now and it is absolutely gorgeous.

Has anyone ever done a POX for classic/best ambient records? ie the ten ambient albums that must be in your collection.

scott pgwp (pgwp), Wednesday, 6 July 2011 17:55 (twelve years ago) link

Ah, I see that the answer is yes.

scott pgwp (pgwp), Wednesday, 6 July 2011 17:56 (twelve years ago) link

Although hearing everyone's personal top 10 might be more interesting.

scott pgwp (pgwp), Wednesday, 6 July 2011 17:57 (twelve years ago) link

Ha! Very glad you're enjoying it!

I guess this responding to a post from four years ago, but Soriah live (with Ashkelon Sain) was probably one of the best shows I've ever seen.

two years pass...

gas - rausch is very good. starting my second proper listen right now. "The album consists of one piece of music that is indexed solely for navigational purposes, and is designed to be listened to in one sitting" : good to know, it felt like it.

i can't remember this and it's impossible to google and it's driving me crazy: who composed the early drone/experimental piece "was?" (german for "what?")
