Matmos are great - I watched the Vespertine / Opera House Björk show the other day with them on stage hadn’t thought about them in a while and was wondering what they were up to
Wow— I’ve got some catching up to do, it seems. I’ve listened to maybe only 15 of those albums on that list.
JIMH isn`t even a top 10 for me, some of the others I`ve never even heard of and I follow this genre very closely. I will make a top 15 in a week. https://www.orbmag.com/music/premiere/bvdub-explosions-in-slow-motion-excerpt/
Now we have Bandcamp's choices! Haven't heard any of these albums lol. The Best Ambient Albums of 2018
it’s just overwhelming how much good shit is out there - at this point I’m not even going to pretend that I know what’s up how do you even keep up to the point where you can do a 100 album of the year list let alone a genre specific one haha
Just checked the first album on the Bandcamp list. Holy shit it's good and very unique. Highly rec'd, y'all.
the SotL Boiler Room vid and music are incredible btw there's a download of the audio out there - might help a little bit while we wait the eternal wait you know how some people talk about the Tool album as the longest and greatest wait of all times in music follow-ups... well this is my greatest and longest wait, if this even happens... also I'm flying to the next SotL show in US soil wherever that is, fuck it - can't die without experiencing that shit
Link me to this Boiler Room vid? Color me interested. Stars of the Lid are the best of the best in this genre if not THE best, I would shit my pants for you if they released new music in 2019.
