it has a few good ones but overall it's meh.
If you want to hear an actually good ambient album, listen to this:
Now THIS is what ambient should be like
What in the fuck is ambient about throat-singing?
that's only like 2 minutes of the album anon
Every time someone on LULZ makes a post about how their album is better than whatever more acclaimed one, it's always worse than whatever album they're referring to. This happens every single time, without fail
This is a solid af album. Little weird as an ambient album imo though because it demands too much attention to just be ambience in a room n shit.
Sure but it's everything I love in an ambient album. The KLF picked one idea and stuck with it and it works perfectly.
The problem with a lot of ambient "albums" is they don't have that set purpose.
>whooaaa welcome to the album. Now you're in a spooky haunted house
>haha did you like that one? Now you're in a large, hot desert.
>oh man did you like the desert? Now you're in a robot factory for some reason
meanwhile the KLF album one single idea but stretched out for the whole album. It reminds me of going on road trips with my dad as a kid. Being half awake in the passenger seat listening to the radio.
OP needs it in 40 second chunks with a blacky criminal mumbling over it
because you dont listen to ambient music directly, its background music to aid sleeping and meditation you retard.
It's borderline unbearable even as background music
Retarded nagger
OP is now lashing out because he was correctly called out and is replying to me while describing himself

Richard was joking by naming it an ambient album, its clearly horror music. some of it is damn scary
Some of it is beautiful though
its a vibe. if you aren't trying to make you're immediate area spooky and chilling this album is not for you. there is plenty of gay pop music out there to enjoy
Ambient music tends to rely on long-winded pieces that lack progression and instead work like monolithic experiences that capture a moment in time. I think it's because is trying to convey the feeling of being through slow movement or "breathing".
Now, while I don't exactly know how ambient artists think of their music —I'm pretty sure many of them don't even agree with the term "ambient" or Brian Eno's definition— I tend to imagine their creative process as something like this: "I see a river" "I see a forest" "I see a building" "I see a place that doesn't exist or is inexplicable, but has a certain mood or feeling" etc. and then they try to recreate or capture these feelings of space and positioning through texture and a slow movement that reminds us that nothing that exists exercises its existence in total stillness. But when you think of the concept of "river" it appears in your mind devoid of any sense of time and change, and yet if you go and see an actual river, or something even quieter, like a tree, you'll soon realize that it doesn't lack movement or change. Nothing that exists lacks any of these two. Furthermore, this subtle yet constant dynamism is what makes places and things feel organic and thus real.
In the particular case of SAW II, every track and the album itself had to be long for dimensionality. it'd be underwhelming to have an album that feels as if it's trying to present its own unique universe to be 50 minutes long, with a total amount of nine tracks.
As you can guess, the length of an ambient album depends on its objective. It's also not music for any occasion.

One of the reasons SAW II is special among ambient albums is that its got a lot of distinct tracks that feel like their own individual unique universes. Rhubarb is completely different from Shiny Metal Rods, for example.
I'm pretty sure that's because Aphex Twin literally just made a bunch of tracks and threw them together the ones he liked for the SAW series of albums.
That might be accurate for 85-92. But II is definitely more curated.
Does an album have to be a concept album for you to enjoy it?
for an ambient album, somewhat yes. Otherwise I'll just end up playing one song on loop, like with most people with SAW2 and Rhubarb.
That's why I really like Robert Rich and Steve Roach. Each album has a unique theme.
Here's one of my favorites, a collaboration between Rich and Lustmord. It's called Stalker, obviously a reference to the Tarkovsky film based on a book.

I don't think this is wrong; that album has many tracks that are very different from each other. But despite that, they feel like they belong together.
tiktok brain
tiktok zoomers love this album
>clicking around
He didn't listen to it
They don’t. All other ambient music became obsolete after hearing this.
Do do do do do do do do
I actually love all the little melodies in this album
its catchy
>saying gorillion
it's already over for you
ambient is one of those few genres that discourages from listening intentively. it should be as boring as possible. a good indication of good ambient is one you can sleep to though i do realize there are ones that are very grating
