Ambient/Chill Discussion

Post by LiveUserX » Sat Dec 15, 2007 3:54 am

Simple question, all styles and genres have their standouts...

What do YOU think makes for the "best" ambient, chill, or downtempo?

What do the "hits" (sarcasm) have in common?

Go!

I know nothing about hits. But to me good ambient enables you to listen through it, not to it. If at the end you sort of come back to your senses without it being obvious you lost them in the first place, you may have hit on something.

Yeah I notice that I tend to drift off on some tracks and get bored or annoyed with others. "Coming back around" is a good way to describe the post-listening experience, LOL.

As far as "hits" go, I'm kinda using the term sarcastically.
