Brian Eno

I just realized I globetrotted, got married, climbed Mt. Everest and sat outside a small Andalucian cafe where everything was tinted a slight orange because of the warm sun.... all in 2 hours while listening to Deep Blue Day on repeat.

Wow. Emo, I know. But it's true. I feel like I've just had a 5 hr. massage and a bottle of vino.

Flame on.

I like closing my eyes when I listen to music and letting my mind wander to see what images it will make me think of. Ambient seems especially good for this because it's so smooth and continuous.

Nah, emo would be the realization that layovers are a bitch, your marriage makes you feel tied down and your wife is doing everyone but you, you get frostbite, and that orange tint is due to a nearby nuclear blast.

Nah, emo would actually be that you'd want to go but your parents hate you and won't let you.

I'm not real familiar with ambient, but I really like what I've heard from Brian Eno. Could anybody suggest some similar artists/songs?

personal picks (non-dark ambient)

vidna obmana ~ landscape in obscurity (+ most of his early works)
william basinski ~ silent night
r.modell & m.mantra ~ sonic continuum
milieu ~ beyond the sea lies the stars
basinski's garden of brokenness
shuttle358 ~ optimal
busso de la lune ~ around borderline
o�phoi ~ hymns to a silent sky
substrata
to a child dancing in the wind

and then of course saw ii and everything by aloof proof

Try:

Stars Of The Lid - "Stars Of the Lid And Their Refinement Of The Decline"

double album, from 2007.

Eno - dunwich beach autumn 1960

So creepy and sad

I love it. It's such a serene ending to the otherwise dark On Land album.

Wow. Thank you so much. I love Saw II. I don't know who's better at times, Aphex or Eno. Checking out this massive list.


@ SMC. You used headphones, right?

Great list by Noisician as always


May i also add:

Emanuele Errante - "Migrations"

Boy Is Fiction - "Boy Is Fiction" (with a slight IDM edge. More moving and evolving rather than slow and drone)

Jon Jenkins - "Beyond City Light"

Balmorhea - "Rivers Arms" (More Neo-Classical and folk than ambient but has a similar lush-effect)

Deaf Center - "Pale Ravine"

Eluvium - "Talk Amongst The Trees"

Gel-Sol - "IZ" (with some electronic elements as well)

Also what SMC said about Stars of The Lid- an awesome drone-ambient project.

All these contain beautiful slowly emerging soundscapes, pianos and all the classic ambient elements.


If you specifically like "Deep Blue Day" with lush quitars and more dynamic and moving ambience (with not much slow drone ambience) then i'm traditionally going to suggest:


Hammock - "kenotic"

Lights Out Asia - "Garmonia"

Lanterna - "Lanterna"

Yume Bitsu - "Yume Bitsu"

Tristeza - "A Colores"

1 Mile North - "Glass-Wars"

Slowdive - "Pygmalion" (in the previous album-"Souvlaki"-Brian Eno was involved in the production but i like this better)
