Same. Will def be more aware of actually responding tho instead of just playing something and closing out the chorus fm tab

 

True to it’s name, this song is magical

 

Just got to this and it's beautiful

 

Eluvium vibes

 

this came out today. aoty contender for sure

 

^ I think Hundreds of Days is my ambient AOTY so far but I’ll check that out tonight

 

Song #4 features bvdub!

 

Damn I'm loving this. Real beautiful stuff, thanks for posting!!

 

Some post-classical inspired ambient for you all. Discovered this today and it put me in a good mood.

 

I’ve been on a big ambient / post rock kick. I know there is probably another thread for things leaning towards the latter, but yo people hmu with the best releases so far this year

 

I’d say...

Dedekind Cut
Mary Lattimore
Gas
Valotihkuu

I need to revisit the Giffoni and Hassell records

DJ Healer is #1 if you count him

 

There's still a lot of time left and probably a ton of 2018 ambient i've yet to explore, but these left an impression on me so far:

Jon Hassell - Listening to Pictures
GAS - Rausch
Anenon - Tongue
Carlos Giffoni - VAIN
Rafael Anton Irisarri - Midnight Colors
Earth House Hold - Never Forget Us
Araceae - Lunae Semita
bvdub - A Different Definition of Love
The Caretaker - Everywhere At The End Of Time (Stage Four)
Kemialliset Ystävät - SIIPI EMPII
uon - s/t (OUEST098)
DJ Healer - Nothing 2 Loose
Mary Lattimore - Hundreds of Days

 

Thanks for the Valotihkuu rec above. Great record.

Seconding the Jon Hassell—also a great record!

 

I just released a new album that has some ambient/modern classical vibes. I'd love it if you guys gave it a listen.

 

the new one is p good too!

 

Top 10 Ambient Albums Of 2018 (So Far) | Overblown

 

Are you a fan of any of the following?

Grouper
Olafur Arnalds
Nils Frahm

 

I need to listen to that dj healer record

 

Not a bad list by any means, but seems they stuck to the most well-known releases in the genre. I liked that Pendant record but it doesn’t come anywhere close to the last Huerco S. album (which is a masterpiece). I also liked the new Many Rooms album, seems right up a Grouper fan’s alley, though I would actually say it’s far less reliant on atmosphere and actual ambience. The new Sigur Ros isn’t really new, per-se, and also not all that interesting imo.

 

Never listened to these

 

Damn. Check out Grouper’s Dragging a Dead Deer Up A Hill asap. Her newest stuff is good too, but that album is the best to start with.

 

Grouper is very accessible and has turned into one of my favorite artists over the last year or so.

Listen to all of "Ruins" and "Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill" ASAP and let me know what you think. Liz is a master at what she does.

Here are some of my favs

 

Just downloaded Dragging a Deer, will report back in the next week or so

 

@Kennedy if you'd like to hear one of my favorite pieces ever.. this is a flat out gorgeous song. sounds like a dream
