Ambient and Drone. (electronic, indie, jazz, pop, genre)

**boo boo** · 07-04-2006, 10:56 AM

Eno's 80s and 90s output qualifies as ambient... Though i prefer his 70s work above anything else (two words, Robert Fripp).... Another Green World has some ambient elements in it and that's my favorite Eno album.

As for drone, well that's an incredibly vague term, anyone who makes drone sounds with drone instruments can qualify as such, which means the term could be used to discribe anything from Indian Raga to Aboriginal Folk Music to Inuit Throat Singing.

I think My Bloody Valentine qualify as a drone band.

I'd be careful when saying red sparrows or MBV are drone... as they do often have a noise throughout the song, but that's simply the feedback (with direct correlation to the guitar(s)). Drone is often a single note and seperate from another instrument. I'll find a couple examples when I can and share them up

upload some sunn O))) - white2 preferably.

but yeah, drone music is pretty much nothing but feedback or other deep noises... unless its white noise, or pink noise (according to my noise-fan mate) then its noise music :P

A lot of times Shields IS playing a long continious note while everything else makes the basis for melody... And the purpose of the feedback itself is for the drone effect... Though this isn't as present on Isn't Anything as it is on Loveless.
