So it might be a bit specific but Ive had a hard time zeroing in on some downtempo/ambient stuff that makes use of guitars like this and this

the 2nd one is from D2 OST so those that have played that game might be sick of it... but it pretty much captures the kind of sound Im looking for.. like some kind of 'dark medieval guitar ambient' music, any knowledgeable folks up for this?

Explosions In The Sky.

That should fit the bill absolutely perfectly.

Steve Roach & Roger King - Dust To Dust

Omnimotion - Dream Wide Awake

You might want to check out Mike Oldfield and Tangerine Dream. They've done some brilliant guitar-ambient works.

+1 on explosions.

try some old mogwai records and their remixes too...

The latest edition of Blank and Jones' Relax has alot of that.

Chicane - Offshore (Ambient Mix)

Vibrasphere - Tierra Azul

boards of canada - dayvan cowboy

mmm...initially i thought of sasha - baja but then... i immediately thought of:

Mr. Swen G ft Inus - Morning Light (Coffee Shop Remix)

i love this track so much... it is very peaceful but it's not dark... it has some male vocals and plenty of acoustic guitar too but it's not horrible at all.
