Paul Jebanasam's Continuum on Subtext feels like a companion album to Roly Porter's Third Law. You're still in space except this time something's coming after you.

Byron Westbrook's Precipice from last year is really doing it for me. first track is like fifteen minutes of a melody trying and failing to escape from a vast sound wash.

New mary lattimore album is lovely, just harp and a few subtle electronic touches. Not entirely dissimilar to some of colleen's records or maybe duane pitre, a slowly unwinding contemplative thing

Jordan, thanks for the ig88 link, have been listening to that album a lot over the last week--really nice stuff

The Withdrawing Room is a gorgeous album. Yet to be convinced by the new one, but there's plenty of time.

Liking the new album from Ethernet - starts as twinkly synth ambient and morphs into a more minimal techno sound as it goes. https://open.spotify.com/album/3Dcsu8g9DIyVTsUrIjgg37

Huh, sorry to hear this if it is true just cause domestic abuse is bullshit and yeah fuck that shit (meaning not sorry it involved this dude, just sorry it happened AT ALL).
Always found this dude strangely aggro in interviews in re other people's work and his place within any given "genre" considering the music he made.

What a great thread. I have pretty much spotified the whole lot. Really liking Heathered Pearls but pick of the bunch for me is IG88.
In terms of recommendations in a similar vein, I'm enjoying Marconi Union.

Hmm, that was Jordan again. I might just have to lurk outside your windows note down and steal all your music favourites.
ha i appreciate that, as i usually feel like i'm posting tracks on the wrong thread for no one's benefit but my own.
apparently i never posted this record of processed piano pieces here, but i've listened to it a ton: https://beaunoise.bandcamp.com/album/pianoworks
and also the next release on Apothecary sounds very promising (out in a week): https://apothecarycompositions.bandcamp.com/album/-

I return to this thread a lot - ambient music is really important to me, though I approach it different from the way I've always approached music - like - I'm not a total fiend for details, but I always want to know where a band is from, what are they all about, am I listening to something early or late, is there biographical detail that informs the music, etc. same with classical and opera. I'm not totally uncurious about ambient composers/performers, but I allow myself to just sort of luxuriate in the sounds apart from any concerns about when or where it's from, whether it's well-regarded or corny, or whatever...Im kind of more decadent with this stuff, I just let it work on me. which is the long way of saying I may not post a lot here but this thread is my favorite bookmark on ilm.

I can't remember if I first heard about this here or somewhere else (and am too lazy to search) but the Western Skies Motel album is gorgeous. The dude is Danish but this sounds like backporch Americana.

The Heathered Pearls (Loyal) album has become a regular around these parts (my apt.)
the aphex Cheetah ep also applies to this relaxed/chill out mode, though it livens up a bit midway thru. it's still chill as ever

fun when you wonder "whatever happened to _____" and then look them up in Spotify and they've released three albums since you last listened to them. enjoying phonophani's s/t. spooky ambient but probably not in the way you're thinking.

https://soundcloud.com/shlohmo/11_9_10a'Bad Vibes' is still a modern classic, and was a huge influence on a certain generation of producers imo.

Was excited when he recently released all his catalogue as a theoretically beautiful boxed set, although it turned out to be all casssettes in one of those horrible crunchy plasticky cases that have the aesthetic appeal of a margarine container. Cannot see the point of cassettes at all, let alone in a deluxe format like this.
