Description

In its purest form, Ambient is a wordless bath of sound and light. Mesmerizing loop patterns, textures, stereophonic effects and drones carve out celestial synthscapes and deep sea spaces. The term was popularized by Brian Eno in the late 1970s with albums like Music for Airports. Techno acts like Aphex Twin and the Orb created numerous hybrids in the '90s by combining Ambient sounds with various electronic styles.
