[Music] Ambient Music

[Flex Your Head]

I'm a relatively new listener to ambient music; probably only started listening to it in the last 5 years. I find it really helps de-stress after a shitty day, but is also great to have on when you're working - music with lyrics (songs if you like!) distracts me too much.
Right now, with sprog and other half in bed, I'm listening to this - so relaxing and chilled and (seemingly) simple.



Would love to hear your faves and discover more from the genre - please do post your favourites. Aphex Twin, Biosphere, Max Richter, The Orb, certain Sigur Ros, Harold Budd, more Eno...

And this is utterly beautiful, but with fewer than 200 views in 2 years, somewhat under-appreciated!

Also by Eno.

I also quite enjoy putting on video game soundtracks for chilling out to. Stellaris and EVE Online are two favourites. Sort of Blade Runner style ambient.

Also by Eno.

Musical minimalism - ace!


This is really excellent. Contemporary harp dissolving, if you will!

Jeez, those YouTube ads break the mood! But this sounds really good; will give the whole thing a listen through tomoorow. Cheers.

This is ace with a lovely video to go with it.

Fantastic thread, another genre I love. Chillout/chilled dance.

Kruder and Dorfmeister below, saw them live 2 years ago at the roundhouse, was epic.

This is a genre crosser but I'd say....it is ambient. And, to die for.

Here is another of my faves. Apologies if this doesn't quite fit the preconceptions.

Some of DSWL is 'wave'.....is that ambient?

You decide.

Back in the 70s, maaaan, this was ambient.

Used in 28 days later.

Edit. It gets a bit anti ambient in places but settles down.
