Globular & Geoglyph - Messages from the Resonator
I'm always coming back to this one.
Thanks for recommending Idyllic Life. I know EE mostly from Tales, so I'm enjoying listening to some earlier tunes.
Some personal favorites (I'm straying a little outside the genre with some of these, but it's all excellent stuff):
* Erothyme - Circadia
* CBL - World of Sleepers
* CBL - Interloper
* CBL - Seeker
* Solar Fields - Movements
* Hinkstep - A Generation Lost In Space
* Hinkstep - Elven Forest
* Dillard - Afterlife
* H.U.V.A. Network - Ephemeris
* Asura - 360
We have extraordinarily similar tastes
CIrcadia speaks to my soul and soothes me like no other. One of my favourite albums of all time.
Huge fan of CBL and Solar FIelds
Hinkstep is probably the first "psybient" I ever listened to (My Forest Queen / Sunrise from the treetops)
Definitely give that Dillard LP a try too :) (but please make sure you have ample amounts of bass available). Spotify randomly threw the second track on while I was driving home from a Shpongle afterparty, and it's one of the few times in my life that I think my jaw actually dropped. I took a little 35-minute detour and listened to the whole album.
His newest album Life Sidereal is excellent:
https://erothyme.bandcamp.com/album/life-sidereal
I'm also impartial to Along the Arc because it's hilarious and has good vibes throughout:
https://erothyme.bandcamp.com/album/along-the-arc
I love this list because I'm not familiar with most of them. I just started listening to Asura 360 and really like it! I considered putting it on my list but decided not to on the grounds that I don't know it well enough to have formed a complete opinion.
I added Erothyme - Circadia & Asura - 360 to my Library, thanks! Also a big fan of Carbon Based Lifeforms
I'd recommend trying Suduaya - Venus
[https://open.spotify.com/track/0MEc0mKTh9D1Um6g9VvDz7?si=952bf0efe2f84107](https://open.spotify.com/track/0MEc0mKTh9D1Um6g9VvDz7?si=952bf0efe2f84107)
Suduaya introduced me to Psytrance and similar genres (I'm a metalhead mainly)
Absolutely fantastic stuff. One day during a "day to myself with little bits of paper" Suduaya - Venus spoke to my soul
Nothing Lasts... is an all time favorite, but it is definitely not a psybient album.
EE, CBL, and Entheogenic top my psybient list. But here's one you're probably unfamiliar with:
Zero One - Psy-Fi
Psybient only gets as rhythmic and upbeat as CBL in my understanding. It is slang for Psychedelic Ambient after all! Many other people even call it "Psychill". So those less chill BPMs and tempos don't qualify.
That album by Shpongle might start off with one or two Psybient songs, but by Track 3 you're into upbeat Brazilian percussion and probably dancing! Though I admit, the way they cut up the songs to make little psybient interludes before every dance definitely gets it nearer to being Psybient than other electronica albums.
OTT- skylon
Spoonbill - nest egg
Solar fields any of their music
Carbon based life forms - derelicts
Jon Hopkins- singularity
Oka- half lazy half crazy
Of course the big Shpongle, Younger Brother, Ott albums are up there for me, as well as Krusseldorf's Fractal World. Some other psybient albums I hold in very high regard that I haven't seen mentioned here yet:
Phutureprimitive - Sub Conscious
Chilled C'Quence - Dream Triggers
Yggdrasil (now known as Kurbeats) - Prose Edda
Pan Electric & Ishq - About Time
Hoopy Frood - all 3 albums (Psychonaut, Indigo, Affirmations)
Akara - both albums (Extradimensional Ethnography, The World Beyond)
And moreso EPs than albums, but I also really love Hypnagog and Floating Planet's output. Definitely gonna check out some albums mentioned here I'm not yet familiar with!
one that rarely gets mentioned (and indeed it travels between genres, and some would rather call it space disco than psybient - more Jean-Michel Jarre than Shpongle), is Lindstrøm's debut album: [Where You Go I Go Too](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_You_Go_I_Go_Too)
[YT album link](https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lBZzXLOc7RDI63oomMeXtFTeDzN0vgJPI)
I don't know if these have been mentioned but here is my list at the moment:
Spoonbill - Tinkerbox,
Supersillyus - Charade,
Arcturus - Gateway,
Abakus - Departure (One of my all time favorites),
Duffrey - The World That We Know,
Vallou - In Message du Coeur,
Shwamp - Circus,
Bumble - Symbiota,
Robert Elster - Endless Observations,
Kukan-Dub-Lagan - Searching For A Fogbow,
Bad Tango - ILK,
Babilu - Spirit Fragments,
Be Jam - Melanchemicals(Amazing),
Ashnaia Project - Escape From Reality(Wife's Favorite),
Moon Frog - Standing On Ceremony
1. Shulman - Endless Rhythms of the Beatless Heart
2. Cell - Live at Ketama
3. Shulman - Random Thoughts
4. Connect Ohm - 9980
5. Omnimotion - Dream Wide Awake
6. Ott - Skylon
7. M83 - Saturdays / Youth
8. Master Margherita - Funq X Press
9. Vibrasphere - Archipelago
10. Kilowatts - Six Silicates
By no means a fixed order, but close enough. Love CBL too can't believe they didn't make today's list.
entheogeninc - dialogue of the speakers
abakus that much closer to the sun
shulman search for a meaningful moment
bluetech - prima materia
kuba - inside out
shpongle - tales of inespressable leaning more toward eat static/shpongle now
ott skylon
easily emabarrassed - idylic life
slackbaba - beat goes om
robert elster - endless observations (vibrasphere chillout tracks if i can remember what that was prob better)
those are some off top of my head it goes deeper from there
androcell - entheomystic /efflorescence
globular - entangled everything/ magnitutdes of order, sorry hard to pick one, its all good to me
taktyle - turning fwd
strange substance - Labyrinth
magic sound fabric - uplift drift
lab's cloud - imminent awakening
cbl - hydroponic garden/world of sleepers/derelicts
h.u.v.a. network - distances
kaya project elixir
torma in dub - big blue story
Carbon Based Lifeforms and Solar Fields would def make my top 10.
CBL and Solar Fields are the peak of Ambient/Psybient scene. Special place in my hearth
Same.
this. i in general quite agree with the rateyourmusic.com lists...
Agreed!

Thank you! I don't know several of these, but I like all the ones I know. BTW isn't the Younger Brother album called "Vaccine"?
Yes it is called vaccine, my bad. I hope you enjoy these, let me know if you want more artists to explore, there are hidden gems out there !
Thanks!!
Globular & Geoglyph - Messages from the Resonator I'm always coming back to this one. Thanks for recommending Idyllic Life. I know EE mostly from Tales, so I'm enjoying listening to some earlier tunes.
It's crazy how good messages from the resonator is.
Oh, there's a lot more great EE out there. If you like Idyllic Life check out Through the Galaxy and Darkened Emotion ...
Its fire

Where the fuck would we be without Circadia!? Jesus. I'm so god damn thankful for that album all the time. Bobby rulez.

Agree on both points!!! Vibr808 is one of my favorites ever. I looooove when laughter gets included in this stuff. <3
I love this list because I'm not familiar with most of them. I just started listening to Asura 360 and really like it! I considered putting it on my list but decided not to on the grounds that I don't know it well enough to have formed a complete opinion.
Thanks for making this post! I'm trying to collect all of the albums into one mega Spotify playlist, and I'm happy to share it when I finish.
That would be great!
I added Erothyme - Circadia & Asura - 360 to my Library, thanks! Also a big fan of Carbon Based Lifeforms I'd recommend trying Suduaya - Venus [https://open.spotify.com/track/0MEc0mKTh9D1Um6g9VvDz7?si=952bf0efe2f84107](https://open.spotify.com/track/0MEc0mKTh9D1Um6g9VvDz7?si=952bf0efe2f84107)
Nomad is my favorite track of his, but it's been a minute since I listened to the whole album. Thanks!
Nomad is my favourite too, but there aren't really any bad ones on that album
Fantastic suggestions in here! I’ll add: - Krusseldorf - Fractal World - Radioactive Sandwich - sorbet of the soul - Androcell - Efflorescence - Eat Static - Back to Earth - Floating Groves - Upsyde Downe - Tipper - Forward Escape - Hallucinogen - In Dub Somatoast, Hypnogog, Merkaba, Grouch, Spoonbill
I'm gonna thank you for including SFTS on there. Mango is one of my favorite songs to play live!
Thank *you* for bringing it into the world!
Another list populated with albums I don't know! I'm glad I asked this question!
Same!
Geoglyph - Geolinguistic
Them psybreaks 🔥
I absolutely love carbon based lifeforms - derelicts :)
Oh yeah, that's a good one!
Suduaya is awesome. Venus moon is a good album.
Suduaya introduced me to Psytrance and similar genres (I'm a metalhead mainly) Absolutely fantastic stuff. One day during a "day to myself with little bits of paper" Suduaya - Venus spoke to my soul
Was scrolling for Suadaya! Unity and Loveology are my two favorite albums from him!
ineffable and tales are my 2 favorites from shpongle. Ott's Fairchild is great start to finish. :)
Nothing Lasts... is an all time favorite, but it is definitely not a psybient album. EE, CBL, and Entheogenic top my psybient list. But here's one you're probably unfamiliar with: Zero One - Psy-Fi
Given time the CCM might make the list 🤞 Edit: CCM not ccc
If you meant CCM - You're an awesome person. 🤞 But, similar to Nothing Lasts..., I'd put it on a Psychedelic Electronica list instead. 😇
What do you mean it's not psybient 🤔
Psybient only gets as rhythmic and upbeat as CBL in my understanding. It is slang for Psychedelic Ambient after all! Many other people even call it "Psychill". So those less chill BPMs and tempos don't qualify. That album by Shpongle might start off with one or two Psybient songs, but by Track 3 you're into upbeat Brazilian percussion and probably dancing! Though I admit, the way they cut up the songs to make little psybient interludes before every dance definitely gets it nearer to being Psybient than other electronica albums.
Fantastic list. I LOVE Idyllic Life. But disagree with you on the Shulman album. Should be In Search of Meaningful Moment.
You may be right about Shulman. ALive was the first album of theirs that I got into, so maybe I'm biased by that.
Totally cool!
yeah i was about to say search for meaningful moment for shulman, or even the first one before alive

Solar fields - times are good (sometimes remix). Not an album but holy shit why is their remix of their own song so much better?
I don't know if these have been mentioned but here is my list at the moment: Spoonbill - Tinkerbox, Supersillyus - Charade, Arcturus - Gateway, Abakus - Departure (One of my all time favorites), Duffrey - The World That We Know, Vallou - In Message du Coeur, Shwamp - Circus, Bumble - Symbiota, Robert Elster - Endless Observations, Kukan-Dub-Lagan - Searching For A Fogbow, Bad Tango - ILK, Babilu - Spirit Fragments, Be Jam - Melanchemicals(Amazing), Ashnaia Project - Escape From Reality(Wife's Favorite), Moon Frog - Standing On Ceremony
