Anyone into it ? Anyone can give me nice hints ? Time, particular style, etc. does matter. Need imput to find more material. Ambient, drone, ritual all welcome.

Hunting for the great artists is half the fun! These links should get you started.
“Ambient” covers a lot of ground. Care to be more specific about what you’re looking for? BTW, all music has a beat. It may not be emphasized, as it is in most pop and dance music, but it’s always there.
Ambient is a bit broad. I’ve always been into avant garde keyboard artists and off the path mood music. www.di.fm is a free stream and has an Ambient channel. Also, you can custom make your own with Pandora. Did you want artist suggestions or just sources?
@PipenSnusnSnuff Not trying to start an argument here, just making a point: (VOLUME WARNING! and SLIGHTLY NSFW video) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bN14upNp6U This song does not have a beat. If you have a very loose definition of “beat” then it is a very non-static beat.
I must be getting old. Didn’t like that at all. edm
I like the drone of the Tambura.
@pikemopers I’m sure glad my tripping days are over. That was terrible. I don’t get how talent is just thrown out the window. A monkey could make that music. Literally. I hope these people don’t make money off that. I wasted half my life trying to get somewhere making music and this is just terrible and I hope they’re not signed. You want torture? Lock someone up in a cell with that playing for even a few minutes. Jesus.
@mustangii it wasn’t you or your age lol, don’t worry.
Of cource my tripping days were back in the seventy’s. Doobie Brothers, Kansas, CCR, Bad Company, Ozark Mountian Daredevils, #3 Dog Night and others too numerous to list. Now all great Classic Rock. And sometimes Elevator Muzac, lol edm
Strange stuff. Reminds me of trying to chainsaw a steel garbage can.
@spryo . yep difm is my new favorite station i have it on my phone soma fm is also a good station
Not sure I would consider that music, but hey YMMV.
Heh, didn’t think I would get THAT strong of a reaction from that video.
@Prismaster That´s quite a huge field. The spectrum at Ambient music alone is huge. My favourites in the Dark Ambient style are clearly Lustmord, but beware: this would be a bad trip music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koj-Cnxf-hc Cold Meat Industries have quite a large and strong line up of solid Ambient artists. Deutsch Nepal for instance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29AwceNNwUg A lot to be discovered in that genre alone.
MiB you’re wrong about lustmord they’re great for “traveling” places.
No offense meant, Pike.
@bob Couldn´t speak from own experience, but a friend of mine said he had a cruel “journey” in a certain state of mind listening to it. It´s highly dependent of the specific listeners state of mind. Some people freak out when they see spiders or snakes, others are breeding them - angels to some, demons to others.
Also I would consider the didgeridoo an ambient instrument.
Brian Eno is well known ambient artist, maybe one of the first. I personally only like his 4 early vocal albums, which I love!
