May live in the (modern) classical thread but this certainly fits the Sunday night chilling with a single malt theme.

Richter's score to 3 ballets based around Virginia Woolf.

Autechre - Amber

 

AutechreAmber.jpeg

 

probably not ambient but the definitive guide to dance, trance, synthesiser and other musics that go 'blip' and 'doof' has not made it my way yet.  It's complicated by (I'm pretty sure of this) the ambient label has changed since Eno did those albums in the '70's.  "Ambient' might well apply to quite different music nowadays.

 

Anyway, lots of blips, melody, atmospheres in this one, and a blessed absence of doof-doofs .

Cousin Silas & Øystein Jørgensen - Coefficient Of Variation -- 2 x 25+ min tracks of gentle pads, noodling electric guitar and beats. Reminds me of bit of Klaus Schulze + Manuel Gottsching collaborations. "Name Your Price" download from Bandcamp.

Well.............I was playing Elton John's 'Funeral for a Friend'.........which is probably a bit more than ambient when it transitions into 'Love Lies Bleeding'.

This guy is prolific!  119 releases!  By the time you're reading this there will undoubtedly be more.  And all for $1! Yep, all 119 albums for $1.  You need to be in the mood for it - like any ambient music, but for $1 you can't go wrong.

Another new release from Wings Of An Angel, spinning it now:

 

a3409107617_16.jpg

 

Wings Of An Angel - Idealize The Solitary Lifestyle -- a bit more avante-garde, at least the first track. "Name Your Price" lossless download from Bandcamp.

 

1. You Have Changed For The Worse, Watered Your Dreams Down, You Have Betrayed The Solitary Lifestyle Which Was Given To Us By Destiny 16:45

2. Endless Visions Of Cosmic Funeral Grounds, As Fathomless Rivers Of Withered Dreams, Nurture The Spirit Of Dark Genius, Beyond The Reach Of Years 21:00

3. It's Not Inconceivable That In One Of These Abandoned Urban Buildings, Facing The Sill Which Opens Only In The Most Remote Reserves Of The Night, Sits A Brokenhearted Poet, Staring At The Sadly Blurred Eyes Of The Vast Crowd Passing Nonchalantly In The Streets Of The City, Ignoring His Existence 24:46

4. Amidst This Involuntary Desert We Call Our Home Planet, There Was, For A Tiny Moment, A Young Lady Which Sang Like An Angel In A Landscape Of Strange Light, And Her Unfamiliar Beauty, Delicate And Pure Like Honey, Soothed The Emotional Desolation In My Heart 16:35

5. An Infinite Loop May Fade Unto Naught, But Dead End Roads Never End... Black Cats Pray As They Walk On The Track, Towards Remarkable Nothingness 38:04

Nightwind - The Sound Of Silence -- so the artist name sounds like a flatulent condition (which is probably why it got changed to NightSkies later) but this release is all processed guitar and sounds not unlike some Frippertronics. "Name Yer Price" download at Bandcamp.

Wings Of An Angel - I Am A Heaven And A Controversial Authority On One World (Euphoric Ambient Anthology) -- a recent anthology from the prolific artist Wings Of An Angel, this is a generous 21 track collection of "ethereal and euphoric ambient hits", ranging in style from processed piano to drone. Some lovely pieces on here. A "Name Your Price" download on Bandcamp.

Geoff, Off Land gets bonus points for the band name alone.

 

(I continue to follow your recommendations with interest.)

 

A reference to On Land, I assume.

 

Here's one I discovered just now:

Jamie McMenamy - Lap Steel - Live 5.28.2017 -- spinning another album from this bloke, this time it's a live recording, essentially a drone with processed lap steel guitar over the top. Not the sparse sound that some may expect (like the Paris Texas soundtrack) but pretty good all the same. "Name Yer Price" lossless download at Bandcamp.
