A history of ambient music – and chill out – related

If you are interested in reading about ambient music, then I suggest you check out what Mike Watsons writes over at his site www.ambientmusicguide.com
Very informative and comprehensive article about ambient music and all the genres that exists around it and a lot of other interesting stuff related more looseley to the subject.
Here is a little extract: “At the start of the third millennium music to chill-out to makes perfect sense. As the Western world becomes faster, more complex, more rife with nervous energy, the joy of listening to some instrumental music that expresses both our external environment (both man-made and natural) and our inner spaces (both emotional and mental) is now more popular than at any other time in the history of recorded sound.

Such music has many names: ambient, new age, contemporary instrumental, experimental, spacerock, chillout, ambient techno, ambient trance, mood music, world music, new acoustic music. The protests of some musicians and A&R people notwithstanding, I believe one of these names in particular – ambient – is a perfectly useful signpost for the phenomenon. It points to music across a hugely diverse spectrum: from the gorgeous solo guitar of John Fahey to the environmental techno of Biosphere; from the minimal avant-pop of The Penguin Cafe Orchestra to  lush ambient trance of Ultimae Records and its artists.”

  2. I randomly browse blogs on the internet, and I find your article to be very informational. I’ve already bookmark it on my browser, in order that I can view your blog submit again later. Additionally, I am questioning whether or not your weblog is open for hyperlink exchange, as I really wish to alternate links with you. I don’t normally do this, however I hope that we can have a mutual link exchange. Let me know and have an incredible day!
