Nobody has mentioned the best ambient producer on this planet: Steve Roach.

And that's really nice, Last Atlant, keep that up mate! I loved your An Oneiric World and your remixes that are available on your site (I think?). Great shit!

all is on the Toes' site I think, my remix of Tokyo etc. And my forthcoming remix out in november/december can be heard on my myspace page: here

Keep up the good work.

Thanks dude, this is already out actually, in the normal mp3 shops (beatport will come soon).

I'm almost sure that Demoted owns the albums but: Afterhours + Electric Calm series ftw!

Yep, own both. The Electric Calm series is fucking miiiint, each of the three releases. Does The Forth do any other mix comps?

The Forth = Andrew Archer & Scott Dawson
Trafik = Andrew Archer & John Elliott

The Forth sure knows how to put together good compliations.
Electric Calm and Afterhours series have been nothing but quality so far.

Haha, I actually downloaded that mix and it was quite good. Though I haven't found myself growing really fond of noise since, well, to me it just seems to be as the name intends.

The noise part just made its way in there as a sort of response to being exposed to too much formulaic drivel. Sometimes it just feels good to vent in that kind of fashion, but you're right, it is noise, which isn't music.

I never listen to Space Station. Drone Zone is only good when you're sleeping. For everything else, it has to be Groove Salad.

Wow, I love this thread... so much info, its gonna take me weeks to go thru all this info ...lol

But seriously I don't have a very extensive downtemp/chillout selection except for Boards of Canada and Mum, so I'm gonna look into these recommendations.

Holy fuck how could I forget about Shpongle? Tales of the Inexpressible owns so hard it almost shouldn't be legal. I can only hope there's another album in the works.

Posted by dusk on Sep-11-2006 23:16:

Oh yes Shpongle, aaah I need to dig that one up....

The 21 Grams movie soundtrack compiled by Gustavo Santaolalla is one slick release as well. I love mashing up Gustavo Santaolalla - Shake, Rattle, and Roll with Nathan Boshtick - Vertigo. Spacey goodness!
