No shit, but the subtopic is what makes it great. EDIT: This was directed to Banky, but cue meanie jumped in and showed why he should go back to lurking.

Banders joins the select group of people on this board to actually make me LOL.

That you have poor taste?

Very few of the acts mention are actually ambient, even if they display those tendencies. Cheap plug for my radio show: I'll be playing Stars of the Lid this Sunday.

That kid is the best thing to happen to HD in months.

I'm just gonna go to a strip club tonight and get a lapdance from one of the two black strippers working. Closest I'll get it.

My life is incomplete because I've yet to have sex with a black girl. Oh, how I want to.

OH SHIT!

Jesus, Crass is terrible. You could've at least listened to Penis Envy since it has the cooler cover and all.

He's a scrappy little guy, I'll give him that.

I don't hear it in Mantioba, though M83 have their moments.

Yanked from allmusic: It doesn't have to be electronic—Stars of the Lid use mostly live instrumentation, for instance—but what's quoted there is more or less true.

Get off Richard James' cock.

The second halves of Low and Heroes haven't aged very well; way too synth heavy and dated sounding. Eno's ambient solo work from the same period are a lot more low key and more to my style. I readily amdit to being ignorant of most of this genre, as I've long shrugged it off as new age-y, Yanni shit. EDIT: And to answer your question re: which Eno ambient albums I've heard, just Music for Airports and Apollo.

I mean, that's rephrensible, but still kinda awesome.

Awesome.

subliminal_animal, did you vote yesterday, or did you refuse to because they'll never let you be president.

I expect great things from this thread.

I've been listening to the Stars of the Lid's The Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid. It's two discs of guitar drones, with some strings, synths and piano along the way. It's neat stuff, though not for everyone. I also like what little of Brian Eno's ambient works I've heard. Let's talk about ambient music in this thread.

I'm just going to throw myself out this window.

Oh, man. That bullet train was a joke. I never thought they'd do anything, anyway.

The only good thing to come out of yesterday was Florida's minimum wage will increase for the first time in seven years.

I'M GONNA LISTEN TO ALL MY RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE CDS NOW BECAUSE I'M SO ANGRY

THANKS, RURAL CHRISTIAN AMERICA, YOU BIG STUPID JERKS
