Suggestions for Electronica/Ambient...
What would you recommend for music that is electronica/ambient/experimental/symphonic. Examples would include artists/albums like:
Vangelis
Tangerine Dream
BT (I half-to-two-thirds enjoyed TBU, which I bought last Tuesday. To be honest, there are times that I find the ambient work to be a delicate work of symmetry with lush variations and prime production. However, there are some times that it seems like a musical desert unless I'm listening it purely for introspective meditation.)
Some Aphex Twin (I'm not the biggest fan of DrillNBass, but some of it's cool)
Some Jean Micheal Jarre
Heck, some works by Pink Floyd seem to inspire the same feelings
I really hate to sound totally off-the-wall, but one artist that I have enjoyed numerous works from in the past is "Symphonic Chronicles" (mostly amatuer). His band-page can be found at ACID PLANET bandpage. He use to be very active in the very old mp3.com before it became too commercialized ( days when I got into trance thanks to Trance[]Control).
The thing I like about Symphonic Chronicles is his combinations of synthetic and semi-organic keybaord material to bring about a slightly cinematic experience (corny, huh?). However, some of his music can almost sound childish, like the works of a mega-man game soundtrack on ambient-prozack (one of the few; nitpicked downsides to his music).
You'll have to excuse my noobish question. When I take a good look at my music collection, it is primarily limited to a very scatterbrained supply of CDs, amatuer downloads, and a few internet buys. For financial reasons and for conscience sake, my arsenal of material to branch out from is very limited.
