From the empress herself, Elaine Radigue, through to Charlemagne Palestine, Folke Rabe, Jean-Claude Eloy, to more recent exponents like Eleh and Erik Jarl, there is such a thing as Drone that doesn't suck but does give. I'm particularly interested in Drone that is blatantly so - not so much drone included amongst other factors, but the pure Drone, done as well as possible. Of course, any variations to be suggested will be.Įdit - PS I did the usual search-function search and found no topic like this here, oddly enough, although a lot of reference to drone right throughout. In any case, I haven't seen this as a topic here for a while and.actually, let's not even worry about it. Please let me know what you think is worth tracking down. « Last Edit: August 16, 2013, 08:32:41 AM by Andrew McIntosh »Īural Holograms Vol. 1 (Aural Hypnox): Analog sounds from the dungeon.ĭuane Pitre/Pilotram Ensemble Organized Pitches Occuring In Time (Important): From the start of his works.

Arktau eos unworeldes free#Ī darker sound for the project.ĭuane Pitre Feel Free (Important): Zen koan drone.

Pelt Ayahuasca (VHF): One of their albums where Jack Rose's heavenly talent keeps lapsing through, as well as some traditional folk music, but the drone sections are some of the best you'll hear. Acoustic guitar, piano and silence.įor serene-and-occasionally-ominous-drone: Ulaan Passerine Ulaan Passerine (Brave Mysteries): Smith's most accomplished work to date - and I've felt that way many times before. Troum Mare Idiophonika (Tourette/Silken Tofu) Troum Grote Mandrenke (Beta-lactam Ring): This and the next disc touch a lot on post-rock sounds, although made through synthesis I believe, but Troum is a household name and well-deserved of that.

Troum AIWS (Transgredient) : Like segments of Grote.

Troum Eald-Ge-Stréon (Beta-lactam Ring): Always felt like Methadrone was leaning on this album, aside from Lycia obviously. Speaking of, his Sterility has to be one of my favorite albums ever.

Not straight drone, but it has it's moments.

Ulaan Khol La Catacomb (Soft Abuse): Electric guitar compositions by Mr. In opinion there are very few (at least to my knowledge) good artist working within drone if one have the original spiritual heritage/function in mind.
