Most Beautiful EDM Tracks ever

I'm interested to know what you all think the most beautiful EDM tracks ever made are.. tracks with a nice ambient vibe, but still with some form of beat (mixable tracks).

Some examples:
Underworld - Rez
Orbital - Halcyon + on + on
Brian Eno - An Ending (Ascent) [leama and moor]
Chicane - Saltwater

Kirsty Hawkshaw � Fine Day (Koglin Edit)

(This one fits the song profile you're looking for perfectly. Ethereal/ambient vocal trance. Check it out! She provided the amazing vocals on Halcyon for Orb. I'll never get over Kirsty's elven voice .)

Other songs you can't miss (although some do not qualify as "ambient"):

OceanLab - Satellite
OceanLab - Beautiful Together
Rimini Project � Sounds Good
Rimini Project � A Day In The Sun
Rimini Project � Forever
Rimini Project � Sometimes When We Touch
DJ Tiesto feat. Kirsty Hawkshaw � Just Be
DJ Encore feat. Engelina � Walking In The Sky
Tomski feat. Jan Johnston � Love Will Come)
Blank & Jones feat. Bobo � Perfect Silence

...

P.S. I sent you a PM.

He was asking for tunes with an ambient vibe, not euro-dance. These tunes have nothing to do with ambient.

BTW, none of those songs are "eurodance". And what you consider "ambient" may be slightly different from someone else's idea of it. In any event, I will indicate that some of the ones mentioned do not qualify as "ambient".

Sooo agreed! I got the impression that he's looking more for something with vocals though.

What you classify as "ambient" is your business, I just pointed out that none of the tracks you mentioned (at least those I've heard) come even close to fit the real definition of the term. I won't argue with you over what's eurodance or not, but Rimini Project must be some of the most cheesiest "trance" producers out there, and about as far from ambient as you can get.

From where did you get that impression? Nothing he says indicates that he's looking especially for vocal tunes.

I'm gonna sound like such a fucking trancecracker now. Prepare.

Vincent De Moor - Fly Away

The version without vocals, that is. There, I said it. It's for personal reasons, so don't bother me about it!

A sound having "ambient" qualities does not necessarily need to be restricted to soft downtempo trance, it can have both driving beats and ambient/ethereal sounds. I'm also well acquainted with the term thankyou. I'm heavily into ambient music.

As for your appraisal of RP, I can't take with more than a grain of salt. In this forum, anything is called "cheese" that isn't particularly liked by the person making the claim. The definition is actually wide and varied--In my book there's both bad and good cheese. If you mean cheesy lyrics, I agree, if you mean "cheesy" (as in cheapp commercial) sound, then I have to disagree. Just because something is melodious and catchy does not render it "cheese". And if I'm correct, one of Austria's top classical music composers is behind the act. Great stuff...

Also, their music is extremely atmospheric (ambient), basically the same difference -- unless you wish to get technical.

and there's one other tune that's really nice, not released yet but has just been signed look out for:

Debating with you is fruitless, as you can't seem to concede that you are wrong. When you claim that Rimini Project is ambient you really show that you have no clue. But as already said, what you classify as ambient is your business, I just doubt very much that that kind of tunes what was the threadstarter was after based upon the examples he gave.

You say you're "heavily into ambient music" - maybe you could give a real example? DJ Sammy perhaps?

Posted by Hydarnes on Apr-01-2005 14:17:

Let's put it this way Snoopy. I own every Enya tune ever made.

Again, I share your concern with regard to the sterility of the controversy. Again, Rimini Project is atmospheric (this is related to ambient)...what more is there to argue about?
