Monkeys Fist 43789 Posted Saturday at 10:46 Share Posted Saturday at 10:46 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. 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! Would you like the full tale of dirt, dicking and degradation? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited Sunday at 19:40 by sammynb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you like the full tale of dirt, dicking and degradation? 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/release/89424-Various-A-Brief-History-Of-Ambient-Volume-1 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 Edited Sunday at 19:20 by Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 47463 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago It's just instrumental synth music. You could always work your way through their albums, going back to Interim Report March 1979 to get started. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 47463 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago I've only listened to Your Community Hub. I just find it canny chill. It seems to be well reviewed by synth heads though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
