Vakri Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 So I'm looking for some techno/electronica/trance of a particular variety, whether a ReMix or otherwise. It's kind of specific and hard for me to describe exactly, but basically what I want is ambient/atmospheric with a darker, sadder, ethereal and/or "peaceful" (but not really "chill") touch. Here are some examples of the general type of "mood(s)" I'm looking for, though note that the examples aren't all of the "electronic" variety: "Fear Not" by Fray, particularly the ending (3:50+) Bal-Sagoth - The Ghosts Of Angkor Wat (ignore the intro; song starts at about 0:15) Urfaust - Outro Sinke Dus - Premonition Jeremy Soule - Luxon Theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCw_QS_QRls I know basically nothing about electronic music and have been getting my "fix" of these sorts of soundscapes from artists who make largely non-electronic music. I figure there's probably a lot of electronica/trance/etc. artists out there with music that's at least somewhat along these lines of what I'm looking for that I've never heard of before. I'm not too terribly picky so even if you're not sure if a song matches exactly what I'm looking for, I'd still be interested in at least checking it out. Thanks in advance.

ad.mixx Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Does it have to be untss? Because I'm going to take this time to whore myself out (it's electronica / orchestra, but it's worth a shot I think) But, if you want something REALLY good ambient electronic, then you're going to want to start off with this: I mean seriously, that song is exactly what you're looking for.

Vakri Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 Exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. Thanks Radiowar and if anyone has anything else, I'd be forever thankful. Well, alright, thankful for at least a couple of hours, maybe a day, tops. But still, thankful none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, mood over untss basically. My post was completely off then. My bad D: Try this, though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skF88qCS8p8 edit: i'll link some more of WoW's music.

But still, thankful none the less. if you are into that sort of thing i'd recommend anything from touch or kranky. lots of great field recording/minimal/process ambient music (although kranky tends to lean towards an indie rock aesthetic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if it seemed like I just kind of wrote you off. It's kind of hard for me to explain what precisely I'm looking for, though even the stuff that doesn't fit exactly is still nice; your song "Run Away, to Far Away" is great, for instance, and more along those lines would be just fine.

Jamphibious Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Well, I'm gonna also do the pimp-my-own-music thing. I released a sort of ambient chillout album last summer that might be what you're looking for: http://amphibious.bandcamp.com/ Just enter $0 and you get the free download. I may know some more artists / songs that fit what you're looking for also, so I'll look 'em up when I have some more time and perhaps get back to this thread!

Flexstyle Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I look up most of my music through Spotify or Bandcamp these days, but here are some fantastic albums to check out: Swarms - Old Raves End Planet Boelex - Suunta (although anything by Boelex is fantastic) Eleven Tigers - Clouds Are Mountains Theophany - Crystal Flash EP (Theophany is also here on OCR) These are beat-driven artists, for the most part, but not 4-on-the-floor stuff. Loads of soundscapes and glitchy beats is what you're mostly in for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theshaggyfreak Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I really like Carl Sagan's Ghost for ambient stuff and a lot of it is available for free. http://carlsagansghost.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
