Yeah big fan of E Luxo So...just got Fixed/Content in my Xmas stocking from the missus! Huzzah! Result etc. Beautiful little record...although I thought the drone midway through it was our oven on the blink!
Haven't listened to that Brian McBride album in ages-cheers for the reminder-I'll dig it out later.

Type Records are a great lil' label for this kind of music, I reckon.

I don't have this... I'm actually amazed that I don't, considering the amount of Kranky stuff I own.

Oh..it's a 'drift music' classic. Drift music?! God bless WIRE magazine.
There's a guy who plays gee-tar on the album called Mike Linnen who's released some pretty cool albums himself-notably the soundtracks to George Washington & All The Real Girls (the latter features SOTL, Labradford & Will Oldham).
Well worth tracking down & listening to.

 

[Alan Remorse]

No, that's Fly Pan Am - feature some of the GYBE dudes.

ah! yes, that's the one. Didn't like them much.

their first was my favourite.

New SOTL - can't wait. Can't say enough good things about that Windy & Carl 'Dream House' CD too. I also got 'Antartica' last year and it's top notch. If anyone that likes this stuff is looking for a Pan American to get into try 'Quiet City'. Kranky rule basically.

Got some other nice ambient stuff over the last while - Mirages by Tim Hecker and Structures from Silence by Steve Roach.

Anyone else any recommendations?

oh yeah...really diggin' that Tim Hecker album too.
I'd recommend 'Free D' by The Ecstacy of Saint Theresa for music of a similar bent. Ditto 'our own' Hulk who's Silver Thread of Ghosts is an amazing piece of work.

 

[Pantone247]

I love Windy and Carl. Have you heard the Introspective? 3 Cds of rare, live and unreleased stuff. Lovely. Antartica and Conciousness aare fantastic records too.
Kranky records is pretty fucking cool.

I've not heard much of them at all, I only own dreamhouse and heard conciousness somewhere, it was tower for ages and I was always "yeah... next time... nex time..." then one day it was gone...

I have thumpeds very own vincent to thank for putting me on to it, if you hang around Tower on the doss from work long enough he just tells you what to buy, it's great

Anyone else any recommendations?

assuming you have every sotl album already, you should check out:

andrew chalk (www.farawaypress.net)

climax golden twins - lovely (original gravelvoice issue came with a buckwheat pillow. reissued on anomalous)

aeolian string ensemble - 2 cds

tom heasley - 2 cds of ambient tuba, 1 of ambient digeridoo - start with 'on the sensations of tone' (after the helmholtz book of the same name)

loscil - stasis (free download album linked off the kranky news page)

beequeen - music for the head ballet (on infraction, recently reissued... maybe on korm plastics?)

thomas koner - tiermo/permafrost

david haines - emo (on sigma, who also did early minit, v. delay, parmentier & rosy parlane albums - all great)

andrew deutsch - not all great, but der sonne (w/kevin mccoy) and loops over land are

laaraji (mate of brian eno's) - on all saints recs.

...that's off the top of my head. i'll have to check the drone section for more when i get home

The new Tim Hecker album is good. Not as good as Radio Amor buh'

I haven't bought much ambient stuff recently - only old stuff by Cluster,Eno and Cluster and Eno.

it was on mille plateaux so dunno how available it is

 

[theoootini]

i'll have a gander on slsk...

i'll have a gander on slsk...

aah. of course. i usually buy stuff!!

 

[theoootini]

so do i. just moved into a house with broad band though. slsk is pretty tempting...

"aix em klemm" is a very nice album, but for SOTL + Labradford action i dont think "the kahanek incident" 12" can be beaten.

i love love love "tired sounds...", certainly their best i think...
as for labradford it would have to be for me:
1. mi media naraja (what an absolutely perfect and gorgeous album)
2. e luxo so
3. fixed content

convict's recommendations are gold, if you are a fan of SOTL you really owe it to yourself to check out mirror and andrew chalk, specifically and respectively "mirror of the sea" and "blue eyes of the march": two of the greatest, most soothing albums ever.

 

[BonsaiSuperstar]

avec laudenum is my favourite

 

[Kid Lovebeach]
