your welcome grahf 

thanks for the links blackpope, I'll check 'em out.

Thanks to Vondur for posting those dark ambient links as well, I need more of that stuff. 

If you haven't already, try Thomas Koner and Yen Pox. Both rather minimal (the former especially so), but probably worth a listen. 

Biosphere, anyone?? 

biosphere isn't dark ambient, it's just ambient.
it's ice ambient i'd say, there is no dark side in that project. :)


as for the thomas koner and yen pox, they are classic, add there troum yet, the same dark tasty drones... 

THE DATSUNS!!!

Go NZ Music! 

Concord Dawn, Shapeshifter & PMoney. That's about it as far as I'm concerned. Okay, Salmonella Dub are good if you like that sort of thing and 8' Sativa well the music's good but the attitude is tedious.

P.S. Sorry Von I don't really know much about ambient. The record shop dude called Biosphere "drone and tone" which sounded cool =) 

NT. 

its there somewhere 

On a related note:

boink boink 

did you know dead can dance ??? 

and it rocks 

I suggest you Listen to Kirkorov and Boris Moiseev. They are sweet 

who are they? tell me more! i'm intrigued. 

Its very dark music. You know, the kind that makes you want to stab yourself in the face, tear off ears and jump into the bottomless pit. 

Is it healthy to be listen to They're Coming to Take Me Away by Lard, over and over again?

The worms in my brain are complaining, you see. Got a good trump song to drive it out? 

Dead can dance isn't dark at all.
I've listened to them a fair amount, if we're thinking the same group then they're more of a light folk/world/ambient act.

gothic/punk/industrial in the 1970s:
Joy Division (influential on such diverse 90's acts as Nirvana, Radiohead and NIN)

try skinny puppy: they're very dark and eccentric. however, they might be a bit too weird for anyone who isn't fully into industrial music. 

I believe they were talking about Kirkorov and Boris Moiseev. 

I m not agree with you , this is note suicide-music !
Listen "how to fortunate the man with none" I love this requiem 

...if you want some really nice chillout/ambient (sorry vondur not dark and evile) then I can heartily recommend:

Tipper - Surrounded (Myutopia)

Not breaks as his usually stuff is, just very nice mellow downtempo stuff.

And other music ideas...

Killjoy: Hellfish....eh. Used to be a big man in the later era of the gabber scene here in the UK, sometime partner of the mighty DJ Producer and owner (I think) of Deathchant records. Tried a recent CD of his and it is some weird shit.

Vondur: Thanks to the Russian I now have some proper dark ambient - R|A|A|N - The Nacrasti (Malignant Antibody), very good dark droning.

Fatty: I had the Lard album with that on LOL. Didn't Lard end up vaguely related to Ministry or something?? I remember lyrics about pulling out ones teeth as the goverment were hiding data transmitters in your fillings... 

Maybe Jello Biafra played with 'em once, but I do recall an interview which said that the "lyrics" for Jesus Built My Hotrod were done by Gibbie Hayes from the Butthole Surfers. And I know that said "Gibbying" is exactly the same as in "Some Dispute Over T-Shirt Sales" off Independent Worm Saloon. 

yay hip and cool 

And I'm too lazy to look it up.
