Help finding ambient tracks

**Goofle** · 10-09-2014, 01:49 PM

Step 1: Go on a music site.

Step 2: Use whatever available search function and type in "ambient".

Trollfle.. I'm not looking for just ambient sounds though. If you listened to the track I posted you would hear what I am looking for. Idk, what genre it would even be considered.

I have got plenty of straight ambient tracks from the "Soundscapes" music channel on my tv. I saw your name as last response and got a little excited that a good link made be here.. What a let down.

Musical discovery is trial and error. Have a look around bandcamp or something.

That's a bit unnecessarily harsh of you, Goofle. The guy is obviously looking for help, and it's not like he's a one-post newbie. We know DWV, so why not help him out rather than coming off as a preachy dick, which frankly you are here? Everyone looks to you for recs and for your incredibly wide range of musical tastes and knowledge --- witness DWV's last comment --- so to dismiss him out of hand like that just doesn't sound like you.

We're here to help each other, yes, not to score points for being smart? I'm sure there are tons of bands you could recommend to him; why not try that instead of being so high-handed?

PS Sorry if that came across as a bit angry, but I know you and this is not how you usually respond to requests of this nature. Unless you have something against the guy?

I just don't expect this from you man.

I simply explained how I look for music. That is literally what I do aside from being given recommendations.

DwnWthVwls · 10-09-2014, 03:27 PM

And yet you chose to explain what I already obviously know instead of giving recommendations a method you just admittedly use and what the thread asks for.

I'm not mad or annoyed but you could at least own the fact that it was a troll post.

**Goofle** · 10-09-2014, 03:44 PM

In fairness I only read the thread title. And I facetiously gave you a response. But it is what I do

It's no big deal as you said though.

I am not really big fan of ambient music, unless it comes is the darker/drone side so I can't really give you any recommendations similar to the tracks already posted.

DwnWthVwls · 10-09-2014, 04:07 PM

I'm open to some darker/drone suggestions if your feeling ambitious. I don't even know what that sounds like tbh.

@ninetales - Just finished the "Solar Fields - Leaving Home" album. Lots of nice sounds. Will definitely be playing more of it.

Dying God (Suite) | Black Swan

Last track on the album but it's pretty epic.

That is much more along the lines of what Frownland posted. Great for background but not something I'd listen to on it's own. I'll have to check out the rest of the track. Tx.

Best part of youtube is related videos. Just found this compilation:
