I think people confuse ambient and film scores because they both lack heavy beats. If your musical world consists of nothing but pounding 4x4, maybe things without a kick drum all sound the same to you?

i wouldn't make too many distinctions cuz ambient music is too damn big.
i remember a popular motif a few years ago was to make "ambient" music on the theme of "a soundtrack to a movie that doesn't exist". (or something like that, can't remember the exact phrase.)
ever listen to Stars of the Lid? mostly orchestral stuff (although crafted out of only processed guitars). would fall right in with film scores. also the crossover to IDM/industrial creates alot of cinematic moments:
original was dark ambient, this remix by Flint Glass, a producer really limited only to industrial, makes it sound like it's the soundtrack to some action film. quality on youtube is garbage tho.

So, here's a downtempo/chillout track that I just finished, if anybody cares. :cool:
most of you are just posting over the top synth pads mimicking a string orchestra. The term ambient doesn't really describe what is being posted nor would most people that make it consider it ambient. Just a dumb term created by EDM artists. The fact that most of the harmonies are puke worthy should pretty much bar them from being considered ambient. It punches you in the face with gay.
most of the links posted i find incredibly lame, boring and just overall lazy but I can see how the musical degenerate would find it satisfying.
