Beat-Less Ambient Music.

GuitarBizarre · 10-27-2015, 05:40 PM

K guys, I want more recommendations for this - I love "Beatless" ambient music, by which I mean stuff like this:

Obviously this has a set tempo and rythm, it's not field recording or anything along those lines, it's more sort of the logical conclusion of Downtempo.

Anyone got any good recs for this way of thinking?

How do you feel about Eno? Have you heard Ambient 4: On Land? That's my favourite out of his ambient series.

A good deal of Oren Ambarchi's work fits here. I love one of his most recent collaboration with Jim O'Rourke, Behold. It has some percussion, but I think that it's minimal enough to work for this thread.

If that's a little too beat based for you, check out Ambarchi's album Suspension.
