One of the few consistently outstanding stations, imo.

No doubt, and it's really the fans keeping them alive. It's great they been able to go on this long.

Completely forgot about Tomita.



- a mix of modern classical and ambient.

Tangerine Dream probably has some good stuff, too, but I haven't listened to them much, so I wouldn't know what to recommend.

Love this guy's stuff:







An obscure piece I ripped from an acid/techno vinyl:

In response to sonix, I probably don't consider m83, Hammock, and Chicane as "ambient" though I do enjoy their music a lot.

I remember listening to BOC's Tomorrow's Harvest and I must have liked it because I purchased it (or maybe I purchased it before I had listened) but really, I don't remember now... I'll listen again when I have a chance and report back.

I think I prefer Tangerine Dream's older music.

There's an album by Robin Guthrie and Harold Budd from the 80s or 90s that I've tried to get in mp3 format for a couple of years. I listen to it at Grooveshark. One of my friends has sent me 1/2 of it.

I also like many of the artists recommended above and:

Alva Noto and Noto and Sakamoto
Air (Namlook) mentioned above
Oöphoi (darker, droney)
Svartsinn (darker)

Originally posted by SYSTEM-J Does anyone know of any established communities or radio stations dedicated to ambient/electronica/etc? I have slowly started to get live gigs playing this kind of stuff and I'd like to build up a bit of a profile, if possible.

As noted, Soma FM has several excellent channels for this, such as Groove Salad, Drone Zone and Space Station Soma. The always brilliant Intergalactic.fm has a channel dedicated to downtempo/ambient stuff as well, called The Garden. There's also StillStream, which I haven't listened to for yonks, but I seem to recall that it brings the goods.

Anyway, I'll have to once again urge people to track down any recording they can find of BR-Alpha's old chillout series Space Night. The music, often from the back catalogue of the superb downtempo/electro label Elektrolux, is absolute bliss, and goes perfectly with the space-themed visual backdrop. Apparently, the show is being brought back to the channel, only this time it will have nothing but Creative Commons music: http://www.br.de/fernsehen/bayerisc...enight-106.html

That Space Night is sounding very nice, right now. Thanks for sharing. That ambient track you posted in rubez's thread should also be in this thread. Very nice one, indeed.

Best ambient/downtempo series ever, got about 11 of them. Earthviews is some of the best audio/visual stuff I've seen. Are they just re-airing them or will they be completely new?

Try reading the article, it is in English.

This should be pretty good, I was hearing talks about bringing it back.
