Not sure if this has been posted or when this came out, but Moby released a free ambient album

Only 2 songs in, and nothing offensive. Good background music. Sounds like he's trying to be William Basinski but not nearly as good.

not sure if anyone here is familiar with/likes rameses iii, but they just put up their catalog on bandcamp, albeit primarily in a set of compilations rather than individual releases.

----------------------- 
These days it feels like it's at an all time low for positive outcomes. 

The music here is free for you to download or to pay for. It's your call. It's not free because I place no value on this work. It's free because I mean it. 

It shows a slightly different side and production value to previously released works. These are the tracks I've personally revisited most in the past four or five years. They have all helped me out. I'd like to think you don't see this as throwaway work. It's been collated carefully. 

Production wise I think it's more in focus and it gives some indications to early influences. It goes somewhere, it goes nowhere, there are drawn out synths, drums, piano and drift. It's about the fact that not everything need be angry, distorted or bombastic to show defiance. It's every bar stool I've sat on and am yet to sit on. It's me throwing myself down stairs again and again because I'm as sick of things as you are. 

If it's not released now then this work just sits on a drive for even longer gathering digital dust which I feel is a shame. Maybe you will find some solace in the sounds if your mood is right or you need them. Maybe one track hits home, maybe more do. Hopefully it can help here and there. 

I still greatly believe in the value of music and of true independent music. This is in spite of the constant devaluing of music by big business and streaming services. I'm not creating work to help push cans of energy drink or to look for cheap clicks on playlists or to get involved in scenes. 

The bottom line here is if you have no coin right now then this one is on me with pleasure. If you can support the work then this is great too. It's always a lot of hard work and a dream. 

I've been hard at it lately with The Caretaker work so now I afford myself a night out finally sinking the odd whisky or two down at my favourite Krakow bar, Propaganda. It's been a good while since the last time. 

I'll raise the whisky glass in there for us all. You know the score.

Based on what you like, I'd definitely recommend his first few song-based records: Here Come the Warm Jets and Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy.






As far as his early ambient releases, I like Discreet Music and Ambient 4: On Land a lot.

I love Here Come The Warm Jets. "Needles in the Camel's Eye" is a favorite.

I also really enjoy Apollo. "An Ending" is prob a top 10-20 song for me.

The first paragraph of that write-up has me intrigued. They gave him a studio and a lot of analog instruments and told him to go crazy?

[bodysnatcher]

YES, Max Richter's "Sleep" in its entirety is up on all the streaming services

Stage 4
Post-Awareness Stage 4 is where serenity and the ability to recall singular memories gives way to confusions and horror. It's the beginning of an eventual process where all memories begin to become more fluid through entanglements, repetition and rupture.

Not sure if this belongs in this thread or not...

Preoccupations - Compliance


Good album too, leans heavily towards post-punk which will usually get a big tick from me.

[tragabigzanda]

[psychobain]

Good band.

[Higgs]

No probs Trag. I've been enjoying it this week.
