Oh man I love me a bit of clark. His beats are just so hard and heavy. If you like his stuff I think you might want to check out DataChi, quite similar IMHO.

Has a nice Underworld vibe about it. It is a couple of years old but only just came across the band.

Oh yes. Literally. Bass line at 40 seconds in :)

Love, love, love this release. So dreamy. I do understand the Burial comparisons, but I think Sven's sound is a bit more clear and upbeat. Burial's stuff, on the other hand, is dark and hazy. I can't wait till he has new stuff out.

Really getting into dark ambient music. Anyone have any recommendations?

So, you like dark ambience, eh?

Raust

I came in here with the intention to cite the head candy I am listening to now:

Le Secret Farida, by Yello, which I supremely recommend, if you like dark ambiance.

and then I saw that you are interested in my favourite sound: dark ambient

I will list my favourite artists and tracks, and then albums.

(sorry, I can't use YouTube in China. I wish I could send you some links.)

As I already mentioned, I cannot access YouTube to give you a link, but, if you want to hear music that will recalibrate your musical standard of 'good' then find the music I posted. Most of it is dark, some of it is very dark, almost sinister. One thing is for certain: all these artists are virtuosos.

Enjoy!


P.S.
If you want some 'light' ambience suggestions, I will post that, too.

Suns of Arqa - Anthem at this time

Seba - Painted Skies (Oscillist Remix)

Very INTENSE.

There's some great examples at Stamp The Wax blog. I would give a link to make it easier but I can't till I make 15 posts!
Search Stamp The Wax on facebook and twitter for instant updates of the freshest electronic sounds.

I like "Sandstorm."

^made me smile. Reminds me of some Nostalgia tracks...

Wow thanks for turning me onto Nostalgia, they have this one called Serious Coin that I just listened to and I love it.

anything by Imogen Heap! that woman is amazing

Loving it...

Oh my days. Just press play...

This one's beautiful.

I'm the dead, re-living this.

Mirrors-"Look at me"

Really starting to love Future Sound of London.

they're fab

mine is :-



by Tangerine Dream

Fucking fabulous.

That seriously just made my day. The combination of the video and the music itself was absolutely perfect.

Big smile!
:)

Here's the live version, btw:

Sexy. Took a while to grow on me though.

I just heard this dubstep song and like its ominous, crushing feeling, and especially the moments when the sounds are unpredictable. It reminds me of a depressed version of my favorite Eskamon song, "Fine Objects." :)

Butterfly Crash - "Minus Zero"



Still my favorite:

Eskamon - "Fine Objects" :)

Slight change of pace for Flashbulb. Not unpleasant at all but just a little dismayed that there is a ton of this stuff around which no one really replies to when others post similar stuff.

It rips off Underworld a fair bit but Meccano Mind is a great chilled out dance album.

I love the narraration that goes on throughout this track.
