| I did get both Ulrich albums, and yes, they are absolutely fantastic! My favorites are Knuddelmaus, In All The Wrong Places, As If You've Never Been Away, and the Gran Turismo 4 version of A Million Miles Away. I cannot wait for his next album, should be incredible. As for the others, I am gonna need some time to get them all, but when I do, I'll let you know what I think. Thanks again! |

Check out Secedes album Tryshasla! It's godlike.

Aphex Twin - Stone in Focus.
its not on any of his albums for some reason. the only thing it ever appears on is some stupid house/ambient mix cd. weird. |

Ulrich Schnauss- "A Strangely Isolated Place"
Amethystium- "Odonata"
Bola- "Soup"
Arovane- "Lilies"
Mythos- "Mythos"
Orbital- "In Sides"
Steve Roach- "Structures from Silence"
Brian Eno- "Ambient-2:The Plateux of Mirror"
Brian Eno- "Ambient-3:Day of Radiance"
Global Communications- "76:14"
Salt Tank-"ST7:Science and Nature" (Oh and make sure that you listen to "eugina (pacific diva)" and "eugina (sargasso sea)")
Boards of Canada- "The Campfire Headphase"
Vangelis- "Opera Sauvage"
And to get more adventurous...
Slowdive- "Just For A Day"
(Well, this is "shoegazer", but ulrich schnauss is A fan and it is a great ethereal album anyway)
Sigur Ros- "( )" (this is classified as "post-rock" that is post-modern rock. What is post-modern rock?Rock that is not rock actually!In the present case we get ethereal dark and melancholic ambience played by a group of conventional rock musicians. Highlight the haunting electric cello of the aalto singer. Strange and haunting music.
M83- "Before The Dawn Heals Us" (i absolutely love this)
Labradford- "A Stable Reference" |
how about the names of some singles from these albums? personally i've never heard of 99% of those artists before. |

| Sinnica Hax, all I have to say is "WoW!" I am extremely impressed. Right now I'm listening to "Always Returning" and let me say that this is a phenomenal track. You sir, or madame :P, have some serious talent. I already downloaded all the tracks, I still need to listen to the others. But you knew what I was looking for - trancy, yet soothing. I can't really explain it, but I am happy to have found even more excellent music. Thank you again! And I highly recommend any one else looking for similar things to check out Sinnica Hax as well. |

most ambient are strictly sold as full lenght albums. However, samples can be found at your nearest amazon store for some of the listed albums. I suggest you start there. Also, Sigur Rós has plenty of downloadable media on their site, check it out :) |

Ha Ha yeah 303 you are absolutely correct! Ambient doesn't come in massive 12" hit singles (Thank god!!!)it's "album music",music that you have to put your headphones on, press "play" and start a personal journey. It's usually quite esoteric but can be appreciated by anyone who likes similar or identical musical qualities, such as long reverbed harmonies and beautifull crystal-clear melodies (at leat in most of the times, don't forget that there is "dark-ambient" as well such as "Lull", "windy & Carl","Rich & Lustmord" and even "gothic-ambient-atmospheric darkwave" such as "Lycia" and "Black Tape For A Blue Girl".Oh by the way...make sure that you listen to the album "The Burning Circle and Then Dust" by "Lycia" it's just amazing music... ).
I love ambient music, it's one of my favorite genres together with classical (mostly impressionistic stuff though), post-rock abd minimalism (no not, the berlinesque techno stuff of maurizio/basic channel, neither the modern crappy electro stuff, i mean the original symphonic minimalism of steve reich, philip glass etc.) Oh and for the more adventurous of you please listen to steve reich and the albums "different trains/electric counterpoint" , "the desert music" or "tehilim", it's like trance played by an orchestra!!!.
And yes, Sigur Ros are absolutely excellent!"The Nothing Song"(untitled-5 of "()" ), oh what a beautifull melancholic tune. The last album "Takk" was perfect as well. |

I agree,
But don't forget to check out Kettel as well. Albums like "Through Friendly Waters" and "My Dogan" are full of relaxing atmospheres and melodic tracks! |

These songs are a bit slow for trance but they are very nice to listen to and I think one would find them soothing.
Chicane - Saltwater
Smith & Pledger - White
Vincent De Moor - Mystique Colors
Viridian - Sunhump (Richard Durand Remix) - I heard this first from the recent Tiesto EM, it is a good one
also maybe
Kyau vs Albert (Kyau & Albert?) - Are You Fine |

But One Perfect Sunrise is absolutely amazing. This is exactly what I am looking for here. While it is soothing, similar to Halcyon, it does have a very nice beat in it as well. If this gives people a better idea as to what I am searching for, then that's great. But yes, thank you for that! I will be listening to this song for a long time to come. Keep up the great suggestions! |
Stereo 8 Remix of that song kicks ass! Try it! |

| Well it's been a few months since someone last posted in this, so I figured I'd give a small bump if that's okay. I am always on the lookout for more soothing trance... and after rereading this thread, some suggested I was looking for ambient. I did look into ambient music, and I do enjoy it, but it isn't quite what I had in mind. Hmm, for example, I picked up L.E.F. by Ferry Corsten, and one track in particular is what I am looking for, that being "Galaxia." I think this is the best track on the album, and pretty much encompasses the kind of trance I'm looking for. I guess it's kind of hard for others to really know what I am looking for, but nonetheless, I thank you all for your continued suggestions. I guess you can also call this uplifting trance maybe? I am still not positive about all the terminology. But again, I look forward to any suggestions. Thanks again! |
