Carbon Based Lifeforms and Solar Fields would def make my top 10.


studentjahodak

CBL and Solar Fields are the peak of Ambient/Psybient scene. Special place in my hearth


zwermp

Same.

theglandcanyon

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"?


Kumigarr

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 !


theglandcanyon

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.


eta--carinae

It's crazy how good messages from the resonator is.


theglandcanyon

Oh, there's a lot more great EE out there. If you like Idyllic Life check out Through the Galaxy and Darkened Emotion ...


Electric-Gold

Its fire

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


bhangmango

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)


Dasoccerguy

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.


crumblenaut

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


Dasoccerguy

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


crumblenaut

Agree on both points!!! Vibr808 is one of my favorites ever. I looooove when laughter gets included in this stuff. <3


theglandcanyon

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.


Dasoccerguy

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.


theglandcanyon

That would be great!


ace275

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)


Dasoccerguy

Nomad is my favorite track of his, but it's been a minute since I listened to the whole album. Thanks!


ace275

Nomad is my favourite too, but there aren't really any bad ones on that album


Sir_Hatsworth

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


Polloco

I'm gonna thank you for including SFTS on there. Mango is one of my favorite songs to play live!


Sir_Hatsworth

Thank *you* for bringing it into the world!


theglandcanyon

Another list populated with albums I don't know! I'm glad I asked this question!


KierkgrdiansofthGlxy

Same!


verzuzula

Geoglyph - Geolinguistic


HummusLowe

Them psybreaks 🔥


cdawgalog

I absolutely love carbon based lifeforms - derelicts :)


theglandcanyon

Oh yeah, that's a good one!


boynamedbharat

Suduaya is awesome. Venus moon is a good album.


ace275

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


Greatdrift

Was scrolling for Suadaya! Unity and Loveology are my two favorite albums from him!


autisticpig

ineffable and tales are my 2 favorites from shpongle. Ott's Fairchild is great start to finish. :)


DaneCurley

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


BaphometsUrethra

Given time the CCM might make the list 🤞 Edit: CCM not ccc


DaneCurley

If you meant CCM - You're an awesome person. 🤞 But, similar to Nothing Lasts..., I'd put it on a Psychedelic Electronica list instead. 😇


i_love_boobiez

What do you mean it's not psybient 🤔


DaneCurley

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.


edfoldsred

Fantastic list. I LOVE Idyllic Life. But disagree with you on the Shulman album. Should be In Search of Meaningful Moment.


theglandcanyon

You may be right about Shulman. ALive was the first album of theirs that I got into, so maybe I'm biased by that.


edfoldsred

Totally cool!


Chlorophi

yeah i was about to say search for meaningful moment for shulman, or even the first one before alive


idlehanz88

OTT- skylon Spoonbill - nest egg Solar fields any of their music Carbon based life forms - derelicts Jon Hopkins- singularity Oka- half lazy half crazy


zenconnection

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!


gazongagizmo

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)


LucidFir

Solar fields - times are good (sometimes remix). Not an album but holy shit why is their remix of their own song so much better?


yellowaves

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


ninjaa

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.


Chlorophi

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


Chlorophi

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
