Hey guys I just discovered the ambient/psybient/psychill/dark ambient genres (and whatever other synonymous terms people use for these songs) and I really love them. Problem is, aside from a few really good playlists on Youtube I haven't been able to find things like good albums to pick up on iTunes or anything. Hopefully someone who is well-versed in these genres can give me some suggestions for either bands to follow or just individual albums. For dark ambient the only group I listened to that was really my style was Lustmord. For normal ambient/psybient/etc. I haven't really found anyone. My super-strict rule is no vocals of any kind. None. I listen to this stuff while I'm working and walking around town but I also use it to fall asleep to on planes and trains. I'm a really light sleeper but I've found ambient/dark ambient is perfect for putting me to sleep. The catch is that human voices wake me up every single time. I absolutely cannot sleep through them. So I need songs with no vocalization whatsoever. For some examples of stuff I like, here's some of the playlists that got me into the genre to begin with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjAynwq_1So https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpmAD4gcLMo But even these aren't foolproof since some of the songs included in the mixes have vocalizations at some points... also Black Star by Lustmord is horrible to fall asleep to since it randomly has a monster screaming at you every few minutes that wakes me right up. Their other songs are a little better in that regard. I guess what I'm asking for is really deep soundscapes. Instrumental stuff that just kind of makes you feel like you're slowly drifting through different planes of existence and stuff like that. Alternatively, I also really like the music in The Mind's Eye series and would love to get some more stuff like that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhIbK6gdYqo Help me fly away!

Thank you so much! Those fit perfectly with what I needed. Plus, when I was checking them out on Youtube I also got linked into Kammarheit which also seems to be just what I wanted. Awesome recommendations.

I need some chiptunes to jog to. I've started jogging every morning and for some reason I find upbeat chiptunes to be the absolute best thing to run to. I grabbed up a few retro songs I liked from Sonic and some old Nintendo games as well as a ton of stuff by Dubmood and Bit Shifter. I really like Bit Shifter's stuff; 8-bit, very upbeat and catchy. I think upbeat and catchy are the two really big requirements I'd like to ask for. If I had to sum up exactly what I'm looking for in a single song it'd be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWo0R6jPv2U (oh and I have a few Undertale songs as well) Single song suggestions are welcome but also good Chiptune folks who do things similar to Bit Shifter would be great as well.
