Hey Ramon, I must radically disagree with your statement that less ambient is being produced and released these days. There is far more new ambient out there - much of it free, on netlabels like Thinner, etc) - than there was 10 years ago. Sub to ambient@hyperreal.org or the faxlist@2350.org , hang around for a bit and see what I mean. These days ambient has more subcategories than can easily be managed. Ever heard of the Infraction label? Adam Pacione? Keith Berry? Andrew Chalk? Back to chillout, how about the Ultimae label? Sending Orbs? Highpoint Lowlife (really a mash of styles there). If I have time, I could fill an email which nobody has time to read. But as it is, I have a pile of papers to grade and the semester ends soon... jeff
Hi jeff,
Good story. As for myself, i have shifted my interest for new music a little bit during the last couple of years (decade) to other genres then ambient. Also the fact that less ambient music is released compared to like 10 years ago, does not help.
