i didn't find the sample song scary at all, but maybe the rest is terrifying. i'll find out soon.

Sounds more like soothing ambient than scary to me. I, being Scott Walker, will not be associated with such half-witted muzak. They could have at least punched some pig meat, you know, to show they mean it.

That kind of overpowering, claustrophobic drone always gets to me for some reason.

It seems to lean a lot on effects, like the wind blowing over an icy polar landscape. But I do like it, yes.

Oh no, wrong attitude, want Jeff, want!
Album gets better along the way, but it still sounds fairly sad-ambient-cliché to be honest

I don't know man, are you listening to ambient for innovation and excitement? Because I think you might have the wrong genre for that.
― Gamera died for our sins (J3ff T.), Monday, 23 January 2012 23:46 (twelve years ago) link
Anyway, I've been to Indio, if I lived there I would probably be making music that sounded like that.

would you find this more appealing if it were called music for butterflies? they're just moths with prettier clothes.

I'm an ambient man, have been so for 10+ years. The opposite of "innovation and excitement" - which is what I guess you are getting at in your definition of ambient - does not make for (good) ambient, per sé. At least not in my book. Ambient can be unsettling, unnerving as anything else. Ambient itself shines all around the spectrum of what most people call "ambient". From great snoozer-ambient to unsettling, scary ambient.

Butterflies don't eat your clothes. At least I don't think they do. Although that would explain a lot…
― Gamera died for our sins (J3ff T.), Monday, 23 January 2012 23:56 (twelve years ago) link
I think moths wear their outfits with pride, and rightfully so
― future debts collector (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 23 January 2012 23:57 (twelve years ago) link
Sorry man, cheap joke. I've just recently started getting into ambient, and I dig it a lot, but I guess I have trouble recognizing when ambient is cliché. I'm still at the stage with that genre where my critical insight basically comes down to "I like this" or "I don't like this."

oh i should have mentioned this...my friend's band Dallas Orbiter
http://www.dallasorbiter.com/
did a thing in 2011, where they released a free digital "single" each month...a-side was new original, b-side was a cover
i think they have a unique sounds...i dunno, kinda of an odd yet poppy space rock...like somewhere between a less-chopsy walt mink and can or something?
the originals are all great and the cover selections are cool and diverse, include songs by Blue Oyster Cult, Al Stewart, Brian Eno, an unreleased song by a former member of Punchdrunk (Punchdrunk's rhythm section became the original Hold Steady rhythm section), Glen Campbell, Baader Meinhoff, Love & Rockets, John Cooper Clarke, Bombay Sweets, The Zombies

Think when I downloaded the free Cosmic Dead record last year it gave me Three Dimensional Tanx as a recommendation (or maybe it was vice versa). That was a very good day.

the new elephant micah album is name your price for the digi version

― fitzroy institution (electricsound), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 22:50 (twelve years ago) link
Weird. Pre-ordered the vinyl of the Elephant Micah before Xmas, & at the time, rather than getting the whole thing to download, they only gave you one track (& that was the one that was already free on the site). Thought they were just trying to stop people spreading it around before the release date, but now on release it turns out it's Name Your Price thing anyway. I must be missing something about this strategy.

Thanks!Start with "could you please stop raping me" - not for the politics (tho most of her stuff is political) but because it's gnarly.

Also check: "Iona" and "flow my tears" off the top of my head
