grammefriday Posted September 6, 2024 Posted September 6, 2024 bought the CD last week from Redeye records 1
crisis Posted September 8, 2024 Posted September 8, 2024 Not entirely sure if this fits the genre but Andy Salvanos is an Adelaide busker who plays the Chapman Stick. I have two of his CDs which are so cool and he is an amazing player and composer. I would actually love to hear him collaborate with light drums and perhaps a piano but as it is it is lovely chill music. https://www.musicsa.com.au/directory/artist/andy-salvanos/ 1

Great musician. If you like that solo chapman stick sound you should also check out Jeff Pearce, e.g. the Lingering Light album. --Geoff 2
hired goon Posted September 12, 2024 Posted September 12, 2024 Theo Travis - Aeolus -- mostly known as a jazz saxamophonist (working with Robert Fripp, Steven Wilson, Soft Machine, etc) but here releasing a 60 min drone featuring a duduk (a flute type instrument). Noice. Spinning via the spotifies. --Geoff 1 1
hired goon Posted November 6, 2024 Posted November 6, 2024 Solar Quest - Orgship -- more of that early 1990s ambient techno sound. Noice. Streaming via the spotifies. --Geoff 2
hired goon Posted November 7, 2024 Posted November 7, 2024 Imperial Valley V - a longform piece mixing strings, piano, and old 1940s radio samples. This is the fifth in a series of volumes combining drones and field recordings portraying the hard-scrabble life of post-Depression era rural America. This latest installment is more overtly political (timed to coincide with US elections) and so is closer to Gavin Bryars or a more ambient Godspeed You! Black Emperor replacing the loops of apocalyptic street ranters with that of politicians. Of the whole series I much prefer IV and V (being more string based and longform) than I-III (shorter tracks, more metallic drone) but all are worth a listen. "Name Yer Price" lossless download from Bandcamp. --Geoff 2
hired goon Posted November 22, 2024 Posted November 22, 2024 Some new releases wot I been enjoying lately: Various Artists - Illuminations III - another compilation from the Dronarivm label, where each track is a collaboration, featuring Andrew Heath, Machinefabriek, Celer, Aaron Martin, etc. "Name Yer Price" lossless download from Bandcamp. Marconi Union - Ghost Sessions: Studio Session 1 -- a mix of studio outtakes and other stuff from the Ghost Sessions album. "Name Yer Price" lossless download from Bandcamp. Lamasz & Thme - Chiffons d'azur -- latest release on the Seil label, described as "fragile nostalgia, immersive drone, and magnetic tape". Noice. "Name Yer Price" lossless download from Bandcamp for a limited time. --Geoff 2 1
hired goon Posted December 6, 2024 Posted December 6, 2024 Marconi Union - Studio Sessions 2: Dead Air (Pt 1) -- a mix of material from the Dead Air album sessions. More beats than usual from this outfit. "Name Yer Price" lossless download. --Geoff 2
hired goon Posted December 14, 2024 Posted December 14, 2024 It's that time of year where guitarist Erik Emil Eskildsen releases a new track each day, a kinda ambient advent calendar. Each is an improvised soundscape performed on touch guitar with various FX, sounding like a cross between Steve Roach and Robert Fripp. See here for the "Name Yer Price" lossless downloads on Bandcamp. --Geoff 3
metal beat Posted December 20, 2024 Posted December 20, 2024 (edited) GusGus – Mexico - superb album, great music. great synths, great recording, great pressing Edited December 20, 2024 by metal beat 1
cafe67 Posted December 22, 2024 Posted December 22, 2024 Not the usual suspects for a change (bar 1) https://www.discogs.com/digs/music/icy-electronic-and-ambient-albums-for-winter/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Icy-Albums_Music&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR3xrQ5dkxW563qHVq3Xc686KhFjjvTdADk3hFjh9tAF-ZfUKx4TDRHoqRA_aem_jrOmXHEZonMN65ArGq2LHQ
hired goon Posted December 24, 2024 Posted December 24, 2024 Variant - live@kineticlights [blue moon observation] -- a 90 min subterranean dub techno soundscape. From the makers of Echospace, Deep Chord, etc. "Name Ye Price" lossless download from Bandcamp. --Geoff 2
cafe67 Posted January 2 Posted January 2 cd or name your price download https://projektrecords.bandcamp.com/album/neon-blue-utopia
hired goon Posted January 2 Posted January 2 Pilot Voyager - Grand Fractal Orchestra -- over three hours of improvised classical guitar with effects, and occasionally other instruments. Eight tracks stretching out over three hours. The 25+ minute Dream Phrases On Existence with trumpet accompaniment sounds kinda like a long lost track from David Sylvian's Gone To Earth. Noice. "Name Yer Price" lossless download from Bandcamp. --Geoff 3
ThirdDrawerDown Posted January 5 Author Posted January 5 Rudy Adrian As Dusk Becomes Night A healthy 4.67 on Discogs noting just 6 people have rated it. 1
cafe67 Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Have the vinyl box set, but got the download via Bandcamp - cheaper and easier than trying to get it on cd 2
cafe67 Posted January 17 Posted January 17 (edited) Mixed bag - usual and not so usual suspects https://www.electricityclub.co.uk/therefore-i-am/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR19JHLr11sTVlXIuA205wKLUhaC5UZ3IXxROUG5neoiMF7TvYU0sYEZSkM_aem_6GTy3-UJqzo8iW6FmSgYNQ Edited January 21 by cafe67
cafe67 Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Playing this CD today, very good , piano with strings and electronics. Very well played and recorded. Slightly dark edge to the music - like a soundtrack to some movie. Think Budd, Eno , Richter etc , but with a sound of their own. Got mine via Bandcamp/ oscarson label - think you can also get it as a download. 3
cafe67 Posted January 22 Posted January 22 (edited) Name your price -Genres: ambient, new age, downtempo RIYL: Jon Hopkins, Rudy Adrian, and the ambient works of David Sylvian, the mellow tracks from Sigur Ros https://projektrecords.bandcamp.com/album/an-extremely-slow-motion-explosion?from=fanpub_fnb Edited January 22 by cafe67
cafe67 Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Second CD I recently bought from the oscarson label via Bandcamp. Similar to the earlier one I posted. But additional of woodwind instruments and more upbeat tunes makes for a difference. Again very good recording.
