I'm looking for something I can listen to before i go to sleep. Something that isn't noisy as fuck, or has a lot of big low beats. I hope it makes sense.

I've recently been enjoying

The acoustic bits are kind of nice and relaxing, a bit of drone adds nicely, and a nice atmosphere. Fennesz is another nice one, but not really for this situation lol. I'm not always in the mood for drone/ambient or whatever it's called now, but BH turned me to Fennesz and Belong. I love the use of guitar in the drones (not positive if Belong does).

http://www.undomondo.com/alarm/new_yaki--grain_elevator.mp3 is extremely interesting too.

Also, something interesting besides the typical choices please :S I don't want to see Max Richter, Peter Broderick, and a ton of that violin/piano ambient stuff that everyone recommends already.

Grouper - Way She Crept

Should be exactly what you're looking for.

And yeah, Belong is one guitar player + one synthesizer player.

Stars of the Lid? Listen to Eno?

Eluvium and Stars of the Lid, though they're not obscure recommendations, have always done the trick for me.

start downloading WFMU's dronecast?

I've been listening to Earth's Living In The Gleam Of An Unsheathed Sword before bed lately. A little noisy I guess? Too big of a name?

What about The Bees Made Honey In the Lion's Skull? That one's pretty mellow.

Eno, all the way. Knocks me out in 5 mins flat every night.

i don't really know what drone/ambient is, but songs: ohia -- ghost tropic is pretty good for before bed, at least for my part. bunch of weird noises like birds chirping and not a ton of singing, just instruments and atmosphere.

Not exactly drone, but...

Do you want more?


You're getting recommendations kind of all over the map so I dunno. I've got a lot more actual drone/ambient in mind.

Keep em coming.

you like Grouper?

yeah, do you?

i think so, i only have a couple tunes from the last album, been meaning to check it

it does fit with the thread theme

Growing - Color Wheel
William Basinski - Melancholia, Garden of Brokenness, Shortwavemusic
Windy & Carl - Depths
Ildjarn-Nidhogg - Harvangeridda

if you like heavier stuff
Nadja - Bliss Torn from Emptiness

Also William Basinski - Disintegration Loops III is probably the easiest music to fall asleep to ever. It's like counting sheep times infinity. Plus, it's an incredible album.

i have their songs for the broken hearted

boards of canada?
