i'm searching for nice, calm ambient music; for sleeping/resting, but also for background noise during work hours.

ATM i'm listening to afx (selected ambients mostly) and apparat.

Any ideas? (links'd be great!) 

I've always liked the Fresh Aire series by Mannheim Steamroller. Andreas Vollenweider is nice too, for some calming stuff. I'm especially fond of his "Dancing With The Lion" disc. If you like flamenco guitar, Ottmar Liebert kicks much ass. You can easily find all of these (plus samples to listen to) on Amazon with a search. 

Brian Eno's ambient series and also Music for Airports and Thursday Afternoon.

Vondur can probably recommend shitloads of dark ambient if that's your cup of tea. Lustmord and R A A N and whatever the fuck.

Biosphere is supposedly good tho I don't like it much myself... 

thanks ill look into those. 

If you want to relax, he is the king :)

"far away trains passing by" and "A strangely isolated place" are the albums of his that I own, and both pwn. 

Adham Shaikh - Journey To The Sun
Ishq
Everything by www.ultimae.com
Global Communication - 76 14 (a classic!)

Most of this is psyambient. Tell me more about your taste and I will try to recommend more. 

If you like them give the "Farmer Boys" from southern Germany a try. Maybe you can find their fantastic "The World Is Ours" album. 

Hey guys, I am looking for a station similar to SomaFM's "cliq-hop" station, which plays IDM all day long at 128kbps. However, they do tend to repeat stuff a lot, which is why I am looking for a similar station that maybe has a little more variety.

I haven't had a chance to burn stuff to bring into work so I need a temporary fix.

czg, pope, I am looking squarely at you guys o_o

i'm getting bounce backs from your comcast email.. send me one so I can get ya in my contacts right & proper,

I miss ya :cry: 

You shouldn't be getting any sort of messages from my Comcast mail because the account is still active and paid for :|

In the meantime if that isn't working for you, I regularly check [b]lolleyballz AT gmail dot com[/b]

So yeah let me know of any stations you listen to regularly because I feel like I usually dig anything you're into usually. czg too, but he wants to remain entrenched firmly in cuntdom so that is that :)

I'll try and get on IRC at some point to talk to you, I've just been working long almost everyday to get up to speed (I'm at work now), and haven't even had time to unpack and setup my stuff :(

Anyway thanks dude and I will talk to you soon hopefully 

great stuff. Already got one schnauss album and it rocks ;) 

for those that are into it, check out these new releases (if you can find them!)

[FINRGHARD003] 2 great tunes from dj rx, fisheye being my personal favourite as its much darker =)

[EPLATE006] Electroplates is a spinoff from the label "electronic" that do some great stuff, this one is limited to 150 presses but its great, "Horatsu" is a swirling monster of a track and "Eidetiker" is more UK bouncy sound but still ok.

[EPLATE004] The finland inspired vinyl, hitting off with Alek Szahala's "Unicorn grove", and fantastical swirling ride that he does so well, the on the flip you've got "Holocaust of death" and "imitation of life" which are both fantastic UK efforts at the finish freeform sound, highly recommended!

[ETRIC022] Eternal Damnation EP. Woot for Panacea!! A fantastic Panacea remix of Shanty's "Times Trouble" featuring a full on mix of hardcore and dnb in that crazy way that panacea is known for. On the flip is a evil but tasty one called "Reign of terror" by Oli G and Shanty. 

but does anyone who has seen Cube 2: Hypercube, know what the song is that plays for both the titles, and end credits? i love it so much... i recorded it from the movie, but i'd much rather have a proper version of it with good quality :P 

"Nostalgia" and their album Arcana Publicata Vilescunt

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006FYFZ/qid=1147278539/sr=1-12/ref=sr_1_12/104-3015777-5163114?s=music&v=glance&n=5174 

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0285492/soundtrack is all I could find. And that movie sucked super-ass. Never mention it again. 

i can spend 5 minutes in google too. :P

also, i think *you* suck ass, but that's ok. ;) 

poo, unless ypu like cheesey american action movies. kthx bye 

Just played in Melbourne. Fucking great.
... that's it, really. 

Please direct yourselves to : http://www.tyranoid.net/index.php?id=1

check their mp3 downloads, some fantastic stuff here, "need another drink" "Whipped" and their remix of "Marco V - Godd" are my favourites. But the rest is good too.

ACCCCCCIIIIIIIIIIIIIID 

(in before voodoochopsticks) 

Fascinated to see what will happen at next years eurovision, this year was the first time I watched with real keen interest, next year will be exciting too :D

HARD ROCK HALLELUJAH! 

I saw yesterday night the results of Eurovision 2006 contest... and what a surprise to see Finland's Black Metal band won the price... Is it the rebirth of Death Metal ? I hope personally !!

ROFLMAO !! 

If you like hard dance, you should own this album already :)

What a brilliant collection this is, ranging from the upfront UK sound to the more bizarre finnish freeform stuff currently doing the rounds, this album is definitely on the crest of current hard dance infuluences. The self titled track takes the album by storm I think with a brilliantly vibrant and dark melody that captivates me to no end, all the other tracks seem to meld into this showpiece that proves that lab4 are still the kings of hard dance music.

Recommended.

ps - I am very drunk 

Which band won?

Finland has been putting out some great Black Metal as of late, most notably Horna. 

The band is named LORDI, and they performed a song titled "Hard Rock Hallejuah"
