|artist|El Ten Eleven|
|about|El Ten Eleven is a Los Angeles-based instrumental rock duo consisting of Kristian Dunn and Tim Fogarty. What separates El Ten Eleven from their musical peers is that they are only two musicians on stage creating pounding landscapes of sound with no laptops or sequencers. Dunn switches off (sometimes mid-song) between a double-neck bass/guitar and a fretless bass, while his feet dance on an extensive floorboard of looping devices and effects pedals. He plays everything live, loops himself and juggles all the layers of tracks on top of each other.|

Why yes, I am a bot. I've been requested to comment in this subreddit.
Please let me know if I made a mistake!

There are a lot out there. Tribe and De La Soul are obvious...after that I'd say Steinski, Coldcut, or Jurassic 5.

As for specifics,

Steinski - What Does It All Mean?

Steinski - Nothing to Fear

Coldcut - Journeys by Dj

Jurassic 5 - Quality Control

Jurassic 5 - Jurassic 5 EP

And finally, one of the best uses of jazz and hip-hop:

Digable Planets - Blowout Comb

Definitely check What Does it all Mean? and Journey by Djs, they will change the way you think about Hip-Hop and pop music in general.

Just get the standard Saeglopur CD/DVD single. It contains the same minus Hafsol which has also been released on Hvarf

You can get the standard single (WITH A DVD) for a few dollars here

Xanax has been the only thing that has ever resolved this issue with me, unfortunately.

My mind would always go to, "Oh God, everyone I know and love is going to die and so am I." And the proceed to spam me with humiliating scenarios from the past, and then freak out over death some more. I was actually convinced I was somniphobic at one point.

Falling asleep to this album also helps: http://www.amazon.com/Takk-Sigur-Ros/dp/B000AJJNPY

Tussle - Telescope Mind

Maserati - Inventions for the New Season

Zombi - Surface to Air

Mogwai - The Hawk is Howling

Lymbyc Systm

The Album Leaf

Tortoise

Tristeza

From Monument to Masses

This band is soooo good.

Godflesh was heavily influenced by this and Jarboe. In fact, they finally did a collaboration called J2

Porcupine Tree - Deadwing

It's on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Recipe-Buckethead/dp/B000CEV3PK

I can tell you this right now, I recommend AGAINST the Aphex SAW II reissue you can find easily right now. It's the CD hastily transferred to wax, and it shows. It lacks the love and care that good vinyl has. Doesn't stop me from listening to it frequently, but man... it's a bummer.

But some recommendations include:

65daysofstatic - No Man's Sky (Soundtrack) 4xLP This is a post rock soundtrack to the video game that's fairly ambient, and the last 2 discs are procedurally generated ambient music that's super great, a bit hectic at times, but great to study/work to.

Disaserpeace - FEZ (Soundtrack) Another game soundtrack, but more akin to something like Boards of Canada. Gorgeous, massive, warm synths enveloping you in this crisp lo-fi goodness. It lulls me into a fugue state every time I hear it, as does the game, which is gorgeous.

[Stars of the Lid - Avec Laudenum] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RPiFJBXhdI) YouTube link for this one, as I can't find a great link for buying it (Amazon redirects the Vinyl to some other entirely different thing). The best short album from Stars of the Lid. More literally ambient than BoC or Aphex, but gorgeous all the same. I love my copy of Avec Laudenum, and I recently picked up a copy of Tired Sounds Of, which is frequently described as their best, and I love both. Super clean pressings, gorgeous music. I want to pick up the other 2 hour long album of theirs, but I can't justify another $40 vinyl purchase.


Mike and Rich - Expert Knob Twiddlers Hey, what if Aphex Twin and Mike Paradinas from µ-ziq got drunk and recorded an album together? What you get is the track Vodka, and from that night and recording they decided to make a whole album. It dives in and out of ambient and atmospheric, and into Aphex's more acid side, and also some goofy shit, and it makes for some interesting listening.

Jefre Cantu-Ledesma - A Year With 13 Moons I bought this vinyl directly from the artists hand. He performed in a gallery space at my college. Jefre is an easy introduction to noise music. Gorgeous drones, beautiful textures, and it sounds like a hard drive is dying on top of it all. His process of recording is interesting: he plays guitar live, to the recording, and also to a tape recorder. The tape recorder then pitches it up a few octaves, and stacks all previous layers on top. Meaning every part of the music you hear is building and building to this glorious droning glitchy dreamy tone.

Christopher Willits - Opening Opening is the soundtrack to a short film I haven't seen, nor do I care to. Supposedly it's of nature shots and it's supposed to be a "abstract narrative speaking to personal transformation and connection to the earth". Kinda like Koyaanisqatsi, but without Philip Glass. Featuring Scott Hansen (Tycho, before Tycho got additional members), this is like a Tycho album if you were to make it more ambient. Synths take the foreground here, and while there are drums and guitars, they are footnotes in the background.


Godspeed You! Black Emperor - F#A# (Infinity) I end this list with the most out of left field recommendation I can think of: Godspeed You! Black Emperor. A loud post rock band out of Montreal, their debut album, F#A# Infinity is so named because it was first only released on vinyl. All songs by GY!BE are long, and last at the bare minimum 10 minutes, frequently spanning entire sides (though in reality are composed of smaller movements, each with their own name). F#A# has 2 side spanning songs. One in F#, and one in A#. And the second song never ends. The record ends on a locked groove, repeating this dark, moody drone over and over until you lift the needle. GY!BE aren't for everybody, and they definitely fall in the post rock category more than ambient, but F#A# is definitely more ambient than their other releases. Sustained violin strings and a bass guitar being bowed over two drummers, strange tape loops, and eerie synths, made to sound like the biblical apocalypse. If want to feel like you, or the world around you is dying, GY!BE can put you in that apocalyptic tone. I was fortunate to see them live, while studying abroad in Montreal, debuting a interpretive dance show (that had been performed once, set to a recording rather than live music, in 2008), called Monumental, and it's a show I can honestly say, without hyperbole or exaggeration is life changing. Also, the digital versions of F#A# contain an extra 20 minutes, so try out both versions.

90% of these were cheaper (some even $10 cheaper) *BRAND NEW including shipping from Amazon. This is not a deal at all, this dude is severely ripping you off and profiting.

/u/watchinglightning and /u/deadbodydisco just look over this list and see what I'm saying. Also, when you purchase from Amazon Smile, it donates to a charity of your choice.

Yeah totally, their live performances are intense. Please do, have you seen them often live? I've seen them three times now including once on their Heima tour, pretty much some of the best concerts I've seen.
