It's the closest thing I come to a spiritual experience. Sometimes I spend hours listening to ambient, looking out at the day light outside. And I become totally lost somewhere...

It's so odd trying to find an explanation as to why "sound scape" music without lyrics is so powerful, and why it kind of sends me into a trance. Most of the time i'm not even on this planet anyway, so perhaps it's simply the most fitting background music to my thoughts/consciousness? :tongue:

Do any of you do this with such music? it's funny when people attempt to ask me about what I get up to on my days off... basically I travel the universe in my mind, searching for explanations and attempting to experience pure, raw, feeling. Because I generally feel numb most of the time. Which essentially means that when somebody asks me that question, I just say "errrrrr nothing much" :laughing:

Ahhh... High school...

Really buzzes you down when you get a job that piss tests. Now its just beer and punk records

 

[Soma]

Its almost like a lubricant for passing into another world. It helps shape my imagination if anything help me feel something, I can certainly relate to feeling numb often.

and just to add C:

You must know by now Nova, I'm basically on the same level as you word for word in this OP :crazy: I love doing this.
Perhaps my favorite past-time.
"Most of the time I'm not even on this planet anyway" hahaha you are awesome.

Lots of people are gonna disagree with me but I say this counts as ambient music; the ambience of a room filled with chainsaw wielding monkeys.

I like.

 

[Lemmy Caution]

Some of the best ambient music to “get high to” I think is Vidna Obmana, especially his earlier albums like The River of Appearance, Twilight of Perception, Surreal Sanctuary… also Steve Roach, Robert Rich, Biosphere, all of them are mandatory listening for any ambient fan.

I also like industrial/dark ambient quite a lot, especially stuff from the Cold Meat Industry record label. Mostly stuff like Desiderii Marginis, Kammarheit, Letum, Lustmord and so on.

My absolute favorite is this ambient jazz band called Bohren & der Club of Gore, ideal for late nights and darkened, smoke filled rooms.

 

[Teigue]

I am a huge showgaze fan; my bloody valentine, slowdive, the telescope, and on and on!

I also get so high on music. And I wonder if anybody else feels a persons soul through their voice - especially when they sing.

Oh man... you always post music I love. The first track makes me feel so sexy, in a hypnotic kinda way (wat?) :crazy: all atmosperic-y stuff makes me feel that way I guess.

Glad i'm not riding that nebula on my lonesome. I say we head to the Boomerang nebula?

I loved the fountain... many-a-time I have sat and listened to that whole soundtrack. Amazing what you can do with such a simple motif. Loved that film too.

Awesome. I recently came across some darker stuff. The sound is so thick... gah, feels like my head is going to explode if i've been listening to the darker stuff on high volume for 1 hour+

more stuff;

If you like drums in particular....

lol, there's mushrooms in this video and pretty sweet double kicking

Jazz-y

A hypnotic space tryst as we float away into the depths of the unknown.....sounds about right :wink:

Alright cool, we'll hit up the Boomerang nebula and then strike out towards the Horsehead nebula roud:

Tasty guitar. mmmmmmm

 

[rowingineden]

I get really high to blues or highly bluesy music - Janis Joplin, for example, sends me swaying and sometimes I get uh... quite excited by it. :crazy: Yeah. I just become totally entranced by that sort of music.

 

[Coccinellidae]

I do! It's so magical feeling! Like carried away from the world and floating in space with some oxygen and then landing on some beautiful planet...

 

[SenhorFrio]

every day before i go to bed i spend half an hour in my backyard listening to my music on my swing set pacing around, just removing myself from reality a bit, it's so nice it really hleps me sleep i think

two very different songs i love listening to for that.

 

[Nomenclature]

This song IS a daydream! But it's usually the heavy basses that get me going.

 

[SenhorFrio]

i remember aWHILE ago someone posted a thread with some video and song in it.it was so beautful it had like themes of winter /ice in it...anyone else remember that?

 

[Sheila]

Wow, other people love ambient music too! yes!

How about William Basinski? Hes very unusual. They are "loops" like- they repeat and also decay over time... the music sounds so transcendent.

Steve Roach and Eluvium are wonderful too. and there are many others I enjoy listening to as well.

 

[Rainbow]

music can get me into totally different moods than the ones i'm in before i turn the music on.
