Looking for space/trance music (I don't even know what to call it)

Can anyone out there point me in the right direction? Artists, soundtracks, compilations, etc?

This is almost entirely what I listen to.

The genre is very wide, here are some suggestions:


Fluke
Portishead
Massive Attack
Moby

Also, older school:

Vangelis
Philip Glass
Tangerine Dream


ALSO: If you find an internet radio station you like, get the program STREAM RIPPER, and you can save that streaming music and burn CDs for your car.

I am not totally sure what you mean by space trance. However there are many "space" motifs in GOA/Psychedelic trance. The same music they play at Fullmoon parties around the world (e.g. Thailand,Australia). A good place to sample and buy cd's is http://www.psyshop.com/

Favourite Arists include:
Infected Mushroom
Skazi
Astral projection
Astrix
GMS
Wizzy Noise
Flowjob
U-Reckon

For darker sound try psytrance sub genre: Dark Psytrance
Hujaboy
Hydraglyph
And about half of all those compilations on above link are dark as well.

Hope that helps [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

yeah, i got the idea he was looking for ambient music

angelo badalamenti (sp?) who does david lynch soundtracks has done a lot of good ambient stuff.

aphex twin's selected ambient works II is much weirder than I, but I like it a lot more. I forget if I mentioned Boards of Canada.

check out
Alex Hephaestion
Bluetech
Buddha Bar
Rainstick Orchestra
Bonobo

Ulrich Schnauss and Boards of Canada are also quite good as previously metnioned

Slight HJ: anyone listen to Sirius 33? It's called trance, and I'd say I like about 80% of what they play. I would like to know if this music is considered mainstream trance, hardcore trance, bad trance, British trance, etc, or what.

Treefingers is ambient music.

This particular song is lacking a stiff drumbeat/rhythm section.

Some stuff that matches this:
David Kristian - The Mariana Trench (2005) (this is basically an entire album of music in the realm of Treefingers)
Aphex Twin - selected Ambient works (he has several, but vol. 2 is brilliant)

some stuff with rhythm, but still downtempo and atmospheric
Isan, Slowdive, Basic Channel, really... there are many more.

...and I concur with Brian Eno and Boards of Canada.

Yeah what I was initially looking for is definitely ambient music, but I'd like to try a lot of stuff and will be checking into all the recommendations in this thread.
