I have an mp3 player (Nomad Jukebox 3 :D ) and am looking for more ambient/atmospheric songs. If you can help me think of any I'd be thankful. To give you an idea of the mood I'm looking for, here's a few examples of songs on the same playlist:
Massive Attack - Teardrop
Radiohead - (almost all of em)
Bjork - All is full of love
Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar
Some Aphex Twin (feel free to recommend more)
Some Enya (diddo)
Some Moby (diddo again)
Orbital - Hacylon & On

I hope this helped. I will download any and every song you guys recommend. Please help! If you're not sure if the song fits the mood I'm lookin for, suggest it anyway!

Thanx ALOT!

Clinic - Walking with thee

Ra- do you call my name (if you're into hard rock)

Radiohead- idioteque

If you can find it, get EVERYTHING off of a CD called Unlearn by a band called Psykosonik. It's probably the most amazing CD I've ever heard for electronic/pop, and they're soooo underrated.

Other soft stuff:
Chemical Brothers - The Test
Dirty Vegas - Ghosts, Alive, All Or Nothing
Delerium w/Sara McLachlan - Silence
Moby - Porcelain, Extreme Ways
Enigma - The Love Sensuality Devotion Album

EDIT: If you end up liking Psykosonik, Hednoize is another offshoot band from one of the members. Harder, heavier, and more dark, but still pretty good, just not as listenable. Their only album right now is called Searching For The End.

You can also find some of Daniel Lenz's unreleased softer stuff on mp3.com under the artist of Psykohed.

Clint Mansell/Kronos Quartet's stuff from Pi

11-04-02, 03:19 PM
How bout some old Eno, like music for airports...

Or sigur ros....

Some of the instrumental stuff by the doves might fit nicely on that mix...like the song 'firesuite'.

"I Like It That Way" by Backstreet Boys......very heavy stuff.....:D

notme2000
11-05-02, 04:23 AM
Man, I've kept almost every song recommended so far (exception for Backstreet Boys. lol)! I couldn't find Subsonic Spectrum by Planet Bliss though...

EDIT: Nevermind, found it at MP3.com!

EDIT 2: And I LIKE!

aseedrain
11-05-02, 07:02 AM
Seriously though, here's some acts you might like to check out:

leftfield - el cid, chant of a poor man, rino's prayer
groove armada - inside my mind (blue skies), served chill
after life - blue bar
endorphine - viva
chicane - saltwafter

I don't know if they are available on mp3.

You sure Backstreet Boys not your cuppa? How about Britney Spears. She had a very philosophical song, I think it's called "Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman". Deep, I tell you. Real Deep.

Jamiroquai:

Virtual Insanity was his hit in America.

I like all their stuff and I listen to a lot of Moby.

Traveling Without Moving, great album

Forgot to add......how about some songs from Travis? I've never listened to them before but I've heard they're a lot like Radiohead.

Oddly enough Groove Armada - Inside My Mind was the song that inspired this playlist!

11-05-02, 11:43 PM
Another one I like a lot:

ATB - Beach Vibes

11-06-02, 03:49 AM
Travis is a Radiohead-wannabe. Forget them and get Radiohead instead. Anything from their album "OK Computer" onwards is good stuff.

Little Fluffly Clouds by Orbital is a wonderful song. I've *heard* that it's even better on mushrooms :D .

Also, anything by Deep Forest is neat-o.

11-07-02, 12:38 AM
I like Little Fluffy Clouds, but that voice starts to creep me out after a while... Like severely...

fadingCaptain
11-07-02, 10:40 AM
I thought that song was by the orb and not orbital.. easy to confuse hehe. Anyway I haven't heard it in forever, traded that cd in a long time ago...might be worth a dl on kazaa...

11-08-02, 05:08 PM

So, how'd you like Sneaker Pimps, NotMe?

notme2000
11-08-02, 08:21 PM

%BlueSoulRobot%
11-12-02, 10:03 PM
So I'm d/l'ing stuff people jot down here too. :D

I don't quite understand what the theme is...I see Enigma, then I see some Systematic, then I see Tori Amos..? How are they all related? :confused: I thought the theme was Ambient. Or is it just entirely Alternative?<hr>By the way, welcome to SciForums, Stoneage. :)

notme2000
11-13-02, 02:31 AM
It was ambient, but I'm open to anything, so I don't mind at all. I got ALOT of songs off this already. Got 1200 songs on my mp3 player so far, and growing fast! That Planet Bliss was a good band for ambient. Went to mp3.com and dloaded half their stuff! In case other people are dloading stuff from this list like Blue; here's some of my recommendations:
Aimee Mann - Wise Up
Aimee Mann - One Is The Lonliest Number
American Beauty theme
Delerium - Innocence (Dj Tiesto mix)
Fear Factory - Timelessness (not headbanger metal, trust me)
Linkin Park - Secret (unreleased, instrumental, very good)
Memento - Opening Titles/Polaroid Fades
Ministry Of Sound - Beautiful Strange
Low with Tormandy - Half Light (Mothman Prophecies, alot like Radiohead)
Orbital - Forever
Peace Orchestra - Who Am I
Resident Evil Movie theme
Soulfly - Soulfly I, Soulfly II, Soulfly III (all tribal)
Telepopmusik - Breathe (Mitsubishi commercial)
Truman Show - Raising The Sail
Unfaithful theme
Vast - Flames (TRUST ME)
Waking Life theme

I know it's a long list, but I recommend you download em all! It will help you understand the playlist I'm making, and make yours that much more complete. I figure you guys gave me so many good mp3 suggestions I owed you guys a heftly list! Let me know if any of you like any of the songs I gave! Keep the suggestions comin though, I'll download every one u suggest!

11-13-02, 03:10 PM
It's not ambient, but...

Wonderwall by Oasis.

I haven't gotten sick of it since it was released

Wow, surprised how many songs I recongnize and like that've been posted sofar, many that I thought were so obscure that I'd never see other of thier fans. Has anyone ever played the game Acid Tetris(btw I'm halfway up their highscores!)? Well they have MP3 versions of thier songs for download, and some of it is really killer ambient.
Here's the link(not illegal download so don't worry): http://www.dddgames.com/saba/music.html

Not all are suitable for standalone listening, but surprisingly most are. Download the ones under the MP3 column to ensure compatibility with a stanalone mp3 player.
