I came in here with the intention to cite the head candy I am listening to now:

Le Secret Farida, by Yello, which I supremely recommend, if you like dark ambiance.

and then I saw that you are interested in my favourite sound: dark ambient

I will list my favourite artists and tracks, and then albums.

(sorry, I can't use YouTube in China. I wish I could send you some links.)


[Favourite tracks:

-Deathprod: Deerstalker, Dora 3, Nebuliser, Tron, Cloudchamber I discuss Deathprod more clearly in the Avant Garde thread.)

-Biosphere: Translation, Deviation (Autour de la Lune);ShenZhou, Path Leading to High Grass, Gravity Assist, Ancient Campfire, Houses on the Hill(ShenZhou);Poa Alpina,Uva-ursi(Substrata), People are friends, Daphnis 26 (Dropsonde);Proem, Tunnel, (Insomnia); Tranquilizer, Microgravity, Baby Satellite (Microgravity) (if aliens ever come to Earth and ask you what dark ambience is, play these Biosphere tracks.)

As I already mentioned, I cannot access YouTube to give you a link, but, if you want to hear music that will recalibrate your musical standard of 'good' then find the music I posted. Most of it is dark, some of it is very dark, almost sinister. One thing is for certain: all these artists are virtuosos.

Enjoy!


P.S.
If you want some 'light' ambience suggestions, I will post that, too.
