Please Recommend Quality Drone

[ImpulsyStetoskopu]

Vance Orchestra...

They tend to be associated with ambient, though they're more of the experimental type than tonal minimalists.  Their track on Bunker Archeology is good, and the Drone Records 7" is also good.  Can anyone recommend anything else from them?

Very good project. I have got several releases, and all are very interesting:

Mellow Moods / Immortal Moments 
At Random Again
Vance Plays Vance
Drek
I Love Vance

Pity that they released so many works on CDRs and there aren't chances for re-issueing it on better mediums.

I love Vance Orchestra too - try Mars' new project (ad)VANCE(d) - there's a great 10" single on Drone Records called "24".

Re: Bertoia, I am definitely interested in that set, although I thought it was going to be released sooner rather than after all this Kickstarter stuff? Maybe I didn't read the fine print. Glad they are keeping the price reasonable. The last Bertoia set was way too expensive for me...I think it was over $400 and came with a large book.

BLINDING "1"

Paul Bradley, Jonathan Coleclough, Hitoshi Kojo & Colin Potter - Water Mountain 2013

This release is far other than just ambient, which is common from the likes of Kojo and Bradley.  Same goes for contemporaries like Seth Nehil, MNortham, Yannick Dauby, JGrznich, and all the neo-ND-esque other cats that play in field recording/organic/ambient experimentalism.  I wanted to mention this release because of the clear Coleclough contribution on Water Mountain.  He has been one of the best ambienteers for nearly two decades now, though without a new release in the past three years.  He's too easily forgotten because of various reasons.  He's one of my favorites, and I forget him.  This thing is massive, and it is going to take me a while to absorb it all.  Powerful, heady stuff here.

Thisquietarmy: Exorcisms LP.
Guitar based drone recorded live in Christ's Church Cathedral in Hamilton. Stands out as one of my all time favorite drone/ambient/whatever records.

True Colour Of Blood ‎– (Absence)

Guitar based drone album by Eric Kesner. This one should be more widely known. I like it a lot.

[NO PART OF IT]

"Cathedral was composed over a two-year period almost entirely from piano samples, plus a very few of night-time crickets recorded in our wildflower garden in central Ohio, where Carol Deupree took the cover photo."

I would also recommend the label Drone Records if that isn't already obvious, particularly their "Mind-Drone" series, which is four volumes of 10 inches with 4 artists on each ten inch.   Every track has been stellar from that, in my opinion.

Amazing album! Recommended!

Else Marie Pade & Jacob Kirkegaard - Svævninger 2013 - this is an amazing album of minimalist tonal ambient, and by the end, it takes on a strong sci-fi vibe (if you go with the CD version).  A standout of recent years, and I'm willing to walk the limb and call it a new classic.

Thanks for the recommendation. It is not easy to find drone that doesn't venture too far out into other genres and yet doesn't get boring after 10 minutes.

From my side, I wholeheartedly recommend Forest Management: https://forestmanagement.bandcamp.com/
They have also released few albums on No Rent which I don't think show up on artist's bandcamp but can be found at https://norentrecords.bandcamp.com/ for pay-what-you-want price

Can't recommend pretty much anything by Kanal Nula enough. Played with him twice this year and pretty safe to say everyone was blown away both times. Last thing I bought by him I believe is his most current, sadly sold out https://mindseyerecords.xyz/products/the-last-time-i-forget?variant=48125131555009

Around the same time I got that, I also picked up everything from Eostre upon a friend's recommendation. Really glad I did. "Phase 3" by Acteon is probably my favorite of the 4 currently available releases. https://eostre1.bandcamp.com/album/phase-3

I just posted a link on the bandcamp/soundcloud thread with new track from upcoming Black Wilderness album that I'm going to be releasing, definitely a project worth looking into, especially if you're into Dark Ambient/Drone stuff. I've been into this project from the very beginning, so it will be nice to be releasing the new album on pro tape soon.
