Blue Moon's Ambient Thread

[Blue Moon 6,336]

The ambient music scores they have in Medieval 2 Total War, when you're on the actual map, are pretty relaxing, and also change depending where on the map you are positioned. This one plays mostly around the Italian areas.

That's really relaxing; I like the instruments used.

 

Here's something from Stellardrone (I love this guy's work):

Does this count? It literally has 'ambiance' in the title lol

 

 

This is one of my favorite instrumental songs ever and I can assume it's ambient from the way it sounds? :s

They both sound ambient to me, and seem fitting to a horror game. Thanks for sharing!

[Lyra's Pants 154]

This one's a rather long tune; it's called "Natasha" by Pig Destroyer. Although Pig Destroyer is chiefly a grindcore act, they have also dabbled with ambient music. This composition's a mix between doom metal and ambient. It's about this guy who spontaneously murders his girlfriend out of rage due to her having an affair with another, and the guy gets consumed under a tree, I believe. I hope this example counts.

Here's another ambient track. This time from one of my fav. games of all time, SWAT 4 (the DLC The Stetchkov Syndicate). 

 

[Blue Moon 6,336]

Alright, here's an amazing album by Solar Fields (totally not being biased). It starts off a little weird, but give it a chance and you may come to enjoy it.

 

 

And I recently discovered Lights & Motion, an amazing Swedish post-rock band. All of their work is fantastic (I'd highly recommend checking out their three albums: Chronicle, Reanimation, and Save Your Heart). Here's one of their songs:

The sniper theme from the Hitman Absolution: Sniper Challenge.

Here's a lovely post-rock tune from Hammock:

 

 

And I've been playing some Donkey Kong Country recently, and I remembered this song. One of my favorites aside from Aquatic Ambiance:

 

 

The Donkey Kong Country trilogy for the SNES has some of the best soundtracks I've ever heard.

Agreed, my favorite soundtrack from the trilogy is Flight of the Zinger:

I like Boards of Canada (lmao the title of that song)

[Blue Moon 6,336]

I heard this song a while ago, but forgot about it until now:

 

 

This song is lovely too and has a wonderful atmosphere:

 

[Omega Centauri 316]

Dark Ambient is best ambient!

I recently discovered Bonobo, it's pretty good.

[Blue Moon 6,336]

I recently discovered this amazing artist, Exist Strategy. His music is so good.
 
I'd highly recommend checking out all of his albums, and here are a few of his songs:

One really cool album from Exist Strategy is Air Shaper. It starts off really dark and moody, but around the middle of the album, it starts to evolve into a really nice and dreamy sound. Excellent album.

Talking about ambience...

 

[Pastel 7,627]

Exist Strategy sounds really, really chill.

 

I also like Pretty Lights:

 

This album is amazing.

Pretty Lights sounds really unique and cool.

 

Recently found this little gem:

Slow Meadow is a new ambient/post-rock band with absolutely beautiful music.  If you love slow, relaxing, drone-filled music then I strongly suggest you check them out.  Here's one of their songs that I love:

 

 

They have their first album up for preorder so you should check that out if you liked that song.

[Blue Moon 6,336]

LIMBO's soundtrack is fantastic, and if you love ambient music, you should definitely check it out.

 

Here's my two favorite tracks from the OST:

So this is a cool song. Lots of ambient grittiness.

Some wicked ambient music here to get the chills flowing! Ty all for posting lots of them and giving me something new to listen too in my favourite genre! 

[Megas 27,062]

The Metroid series is pretty good when it comes to ambient music, though my favorite is probably Prime's Phendrana Drifts
