Just discovered artist Askal Bosch while surfing.
In the “music” section of his website you will find a set of great Ambient albums (as well as a few and more recent Electronic stuff).
I will advice that you specially listen to “Apollo”, a record made for an exhibition with a lot of great tunes !
Not doing only music this artist is also a great photographer and he is combining the music and images into great Ambient videos !
Have a nice journey !
The Ping Things music label just released the new record of Brian John Mitchell as Remora.
This is a pure Guitar ambient piece, a long form ambient guitar drone:
On “Ensoulment” Remora throws out the idea of using the guitar as a melody instrument, approaching it instead as a sound source, as six tuned wires mounted on wood. The idea of song and melody is replaced by an increased importance on the tone and feeling of the sound. A conveying of emotion without implementing any of the common tricks of the guitarist’s trade. “Ensoulment” is one piece clocking in at over seventy minutes filled with dynamics one might feel in a restless sleep, a surrealistic soundscape full of monstrous walls and serene calm moments. It is both claustrophobic and calm. You can hear the influences to Brian’s ideas of tone and beauty from Justin Broadrick to Gyorgy Ligeti to Mike VanPortfleet as he occasionally coaxes sound out of the guitar, but more often forcefully beats it out. This is ambient music for the tarmac rather than inside the airport lobby.

I’ve bumped into SoundSnap while surfing. You Ambient fans are going to like this one !
