Been having a sweep through ambient music lately- I’ll pick an artist and listen to as much of their music catalogue as I can on a shift. 
Last night, it was the grandaddies of electronic music, Tangerine Dream. :lol:
 

Knew of them, never listened to them bar the odd song. 
 

Got through a couple of albums, then this album below popped up and I was like…

” That’s odd, I’ve heard this before…”


Took me a while but I eventually remembered where I’d heard it- balls deep in a dorty crazy! :lol::lol::lol:

 

Would you like the full tale of dirt, dicking and degradation?

Gazza, if you are looking for recommendations, try Grouper (aka Liz Harris).
Amazing stuff and brilliant live. Tape loops, vocals and either a geetar or keys.
FYI this track is not as ambient as most of her work but it gets me everytime I hear it.

 

 

Anyone that liked the Delvon Lamarr Trio stuff I posted a while ago, the contemporary Booker T, organ soul/R&B stuff, well Jimmy James the unit of a guitarist that was in the DLT, has former his own group called Parlor Greens. Same style, just as good.

I think there’s a 3rd volume too, but I only have volumes 1 & 2. But these two, released by Virgin in the early 90s, are great compilations:

https://www.discogs.com/master/22555-Various-A-Brief-History-Of-Ambient-Volume-2-Imaginary-Landscapes
They’re a mixture of what I’d term ‘proper ambient music’ and ambient techno

@sammynb  found this yesterday… am sure you know the shop….. it contained the album that this is track 1 side 1 from 😎

 

 

 

The one in Newtown, wasn't it? I think it is the only one left as there were a few.
FYI, the box set re-release of the first album, (I'm) Stranded is available in the UK, it's a good release.

Ive got I’m Stranded, unlikely to go for the box set, they’re just too expensive……got a few Beastie Boys ones but that’s it really…looking forward to possibly seeing Kuepper when he comes to Europe this year… no dates as yet? …

Beginning of that second one, I half expected one of these to start walking around
