Ambient is fantastic! It's like meditation. Something that can make you very emotional or sleepy and make you feel good and relaxed afterwards. It really catches me when I listen to it. Really fascinating style of electronic music.

is chicane ambient or regular? because some of his songs are very slow & quiet

Posted by breakdown on Mar-26-2001 21:12:

yea.. some of chicane's stuff is ambient.. can't remember whic tracks. but on his album ... like half of them are ambient trance..

Posted by yujie__ on Mar-26-2001 21:15:

i know. Offshore, autumn tactics, halcyon and ordinary morning are very ambient or slow and good

Posted by Paul Wilson on Mar-26-2001 21:30:

The original mix of "Offshore" is ambient, but the the mix which got all the radioplay was the Disco Citizens Radio Edit (DC is a less chilled alias of Chicane) which isn't. The original version of "Sunstroke" is also Ambient but the A Side Disco Citizens version wasn't and is barely even recognisable as the same track!

Posted by Linx_da_cat on Mar-26-2001 21:33:

mmm..i like offshore. both the original and the disco citizens remix. hehe. i heard it off first off of the hackers soundtrack.

i love that movie!!

what about gus gus...

Posted by Paul Wilson on Mar-26-2001 21:46:

Chicane are on Xtravaganza Recordings, same label I have on my avatar for those who don't know!

Posted by FinnHawk on Mar-26-2001 22:08:

what's the definition of ambient?

is it non-dance music?

music with little or no bass beat?

I like ambient (from what I've heard), but I don't have any myself (except for a little Banco de Gaia) and I don't know what else to look for, so does anyone have any recommmendations?

i think ambient is great!!! especially on sundays...if you know what i mean

Posted by Thor on Mar-26-2001 22:15:

Gus Gus They are cool, also fellow countrymen... You should check out Sigur Ros, another Icelandic ambient act... You should find some of their stuff on search, if not check out some tracks on their website http://www.sigur-ros.com ...... Very cool stuff....

I love ambient, its great to listen to when chilin out.. Has anyone hear heard KLF's Chill out CD?? Its awesome, truly one of a kind, a 74 minute trip through the american midwest... A true trip CD

Cheers,

Thor...

heheheh. they're perfect to roll a few back with...

i listen to ambient usually when i need to concentrate on work or when i need to think.

Posted by Synder on Mar-27-2001 00:43:

in it's purest sense.. i think a lot of what people call ambient isn't really ambient at all.. while not a rule by any means.. i think most stuff which people call ambient which has a beat , isn't usually ambient.. ... anyone here listen to Experimental Audio Research.. ?

Posted by TraNceFaN on Mar-27-2001 01:13:

Ambient is a really nice type of music..
I think the band named Massive Attack is the king of ambient
music. They got 3 albums.The last 1 is absolute ace! Check it out it's called Mezzanine.
take care.

To me ambient is anything that's downtempo and is geared to listening to while chilling or at lounges etc... I dunno what I like that I call ambient/chill out is stuff from Fila Brazilia, Lamb, Art of Noise, Banco de Gaia, A Guy Called Gerald, Kruder and Dorfmeister ( I love their compilations ), St. Germain... etc, etc...

I love this music tho, theres a lot of variety and creativity, the artists cross boundaries and don't seem to be afraid of trying anything new...

Posted by Dj Furee on Mar-27-2001 01:31:

Yeah I like Massive Attack... I also love Portishead and Tricky and Morcheeba who have similar music to Massive Attack...

latez...

Posted by Thor on Mar-27-2001 01:48:

So Dj Furee, have you heard Sigur Ros?? I think if you like experimental ambient, you'll really like them... www.sigur-ros.com ... Check them out and let me know what you think.

Cheers,

Thor......

speaking of Gus Gus...

I LOVE that track Purple its fucking amazing....is it kinda DnB cause it sounds like it?

Posted by tango on Mar-27-2001 17:15:

i also l0ve ambient.

Check out this one:

Energy52 - Cafe Del Mar (michael woods remix)

it's great!

greetz,
TNG

I don't think Gus Gus even really fits one category.. They have so many different styles, all I can suggest is seeing them perform live if you can, I hear thats really an awesome experience.. I saw one of their shows in some college in the UK on TV in Iceland and it was very cool..

Cheers,

Thor......

Posted by Thor on Mar-27-2001 17:49:

Oh yeah, I guess Gus Gus could be called - Deep House, Detroit Techno, Intelligent Dance Music... This is what AudioGalaxy had them classified as

Cheers,

Thor.......
