My recommendation - Hammock - Maybe They Will Sing For Us Tomorrow.

a pretty good shoegaze band is Lush.

Yeah, Derek.

Check out that Emeralds band when you get a chance maybe. They've got a lot of dreamy drone shit. I dunno.

Labradford
and Rafael Toral's "Sound mind sound body"
Bark Psychosis

I'd like to start a band called something like Dickfaced Dildo Dudes or something and have all the album titles be like "sticking your dick up a fucking cunty std asshole faggot bitch" and such. Just really ridiculously stupid.

And then when people actually listen to the record, it's the softest, gentlest, most beautiful ambient music ever.

Haha!

The name Emeralds rings a bell.

oh yeah derek.

gets aidan baker - orange

That's probably my all time favorite drone record. Shame it's so short.

Aidan Baker of Nadja fame? Fuck yes!

oh man, i happen on this thread while listening to Emeralds' "What Happened" for the first time. this is really good

haha.

I may like it better than Solar Bridge

Aidan Baker, Air, Blonde Redhead's ''23'' will do...

and Young Marble Giants 'colossal youth' is a fav for laying in my bed and relax

There's a lot of folks doing some very enjoyable stuff in the ambient guitar field right now. There's a few folks getting a second (or more) mention among these:

Aidan Baker (http://www.myspace.com/aidanbakermusic)
Seconds In Formaldehyde (http://www.myspace.com/secondsinformaldehyde)
Rameses III (http://www.myspace.com/ramesesiii)
Gareth Hardwick (http://www.myspace.com/garethhardwick)
Ben Nash (http://www.myspace.com/bennash1)
Peter Wright (http://www.myspace.com/distantbombs)
Hakobune (www.myspace.com/hakobunemusic)
Taiga Remains (doesn't have his own myspace, but puts some stuff on www.myspace.com/studentsofdecay)
Area C (www.myspace.com/areac)


and I can't believe that I missed my current favourite:

Marble Sky (sorry, no myspace, but there is a track on www.myspace.com/studentsofdecay)

Weird, I was just looking to see if we had an Aidan Baker thread because I wanted to mention that his new collab with thisquietarmy (whose ep "Orange" blew me away) is coming out very soon. You know, the first new Aidan Baker release in a week. But he's done a lot of good stuff. I'm not a Nadja fan really, but Aidan is great.

Have you done any ambient kinda stuff, atsonicpark? Preferably not the dark variety.

you are so right on this one. I think we've talked about this before, but "Orange" might as well be my ever favourite ambient/drone record. And I've heard a few, already.

"Robe" is the keyword here.
