I found track #9 of Atrium Carceri's Cellblock album to be a perfect soundtrack for ad_tfuma.
are there any good sites for CC dark ambient? Jamendo has only horrible music :/
I remember NewHouse had posted a link to some CC or GPL dark ambient a few months ago but I can't be more specific. Otherwise, a quick Google search returns plenty of results... ;)

I haven't listened to any of these so I can't tell about the quality, but in 500,000+ results I'm sure you can find something decent. Has anyone else listened to her amazing music on here, I think that given there seem to be some fans of dark ambient / industrial (or dark folk or whatever you might call her stuff) on here the chances are reasonable. If you go on Youtube you can listen to her entire album ABYSS hosted by her label Sargent House. Songs like "Iron Moon," "After the Fall," or "Simple Death" don't need to invent anything from scratch to be amazing pieces. A lot of her lyrics seem to be really dreamlike and apocalyptic and even Lovecraftian...
Where are you? In the maw, shattered teeth Underneath a dripping tongue I've been waiting in this silence While you're sleeping, until you believe saw her live without knowing the music before.
As I see it, it's really boring music. They borrow the style from post metal/core/doom, polished it really well (perfected it, you could say), and then proceed to do structurally and compositionally really, really boring stuff that is also centered around a single person, which is a no-go in posty genres imho. I felt bored through-out the concert :-( It's basically pop for everyone who loves the post metal sound. So abolish, and never listen to it again, because it softens up the music genres I like :-( Compare with Ahab, who were playing before the wolfe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTPHyG8KG7Q (Ahab's not strictly post though, more doomy) I think it's more just that you're bored by her act. In the case of some performers, lyrics are what it's about, and the music is just there to provide atmosphere. I think that applies to her and I have no problem with that, I don't expect her to create progressive song structures, which by the way is a concept that has been so infinitely exploded within metal circles that it seems hard to apply anymore (welcome to metal postmodernism). I like Ahab and I am a big fan of post-metal and bands that have complex song structure and have more or less given up on lyrics and vocals, yet I also appreciate music that chooses to focus on lyrics and vocals, at the expense of progressive song structure.
Say it's verse-chorus verse-chorus. That would be lame as hell. Feel free to be bored by Nirvana. I discovered Lustmord through a recommendation here on func. His latest album is great for mapping. Take a listen. Funny story. The second track has this loud section that blended with a nightmare I was having while listening very late at night with headphones. I dozed off on a bean bag in a pitch black room. I live near an airport and I was dreaming a jet was crashing into my house. It was one of those dreams where you are dreaming "in place" where you are. I awoke and immediately sprang to the closest door to run outside all the while screaming for my wife to wake up. She did - I was dreaming and the headphones were still on my head.
Thanks Lustmord. You helped me scare the shit out of my wife. Lustmord Dark Matter

Regarding song structure, all the songs they played at the concert were either: a) really long slow start and then climax, or b) verse-chorus repeat. And yeah, nirvana is really boring. And yeah, nirvana is really boring.
Oh, umm, OK. Welcome to Chaos Realizing now that this was more than a quarter century ago... Fuck. Not sure about endless nameless, but i'm really digging nirvana's early stuff like "the dale demo" "bleach" and "incesticide"
big long now/paper cuts particularly Love Nirvana, always have and always will.
Bleach is my favorite but I have soft spots for In Utero as well. heh but seems like I even got somewhere with Nirvana. I was going to cite "Aneurysm" (from Incesticide) which I think is their best song, but there's plenty of other good examples. Just because some progressive metal / post-metal / post-whatever bands have developed song structure to impressively cinematic levels, doesn't mean the rock music format is done creatively.
Thanks for the Rosetta reccomendation, about to check it out (unfortunately not while mapping, or not yet anyway). I've probably spammed my love of Texas songwriter Townes van Zandt here many times before, but check out the song "Nothin" it's two minutes. "Being born is going blind." 3 years, dude still has no label dafuq up with hiphop sleeping on this?
