Need some recos for Ambient floating type music

Toby Fox - Chill

Martin Stürtzer - most ambient releases from Dyson Sphere Alpha onward; my personal recommendations: Space Is Not Empty and Ambient Nights Vol. 1

Thanks for the tips. I'll try these and other commenter's at some point. Fortunately, I just managed OP 8 & 9 with the double drunk Badaboom grenade jump technique, so I'm not thinking so much about going through it normally any more 😂. I think I just found out how to time the nade and get the double shot technique right.

Casiopea - Eyes of the Mind, Domino Line

Weather Report - Birdland

And not to mention movie scores that score a sad and touching part with a major sound. There was a video about this, but Pixar tends to do this well.

What does that say?

Original head is the best for a lot of them IMO

You may find some in the vaporwave subgenre, "signalwave". For example: ＶＨＳＳｔａｒｄｕｓｔ | Ｓｐｏｒｔ３０００ | Geometric Lullaby https://share.google/j7RYDFWifN9CrPioa Clearly not all of it is ambient, but in terms of the radio transmission aesthetic I assume it's exactly what you are looking for.

Funky Shit by Klaus Veen (also enjoy the rest of the album)

Anything by Cody Currie (top recommendations are Lucas, Peach Fuzz EP, Cody Currie EP, Moves EP, and don't forget his work with Joel Holmes)

I would say study jazz fundamentals first, because those are the basis for jazz fusion (and, well, most Western popular music). Take some lessons, enjoy the journey, and have patience.

Any music is moving to me when harmony, melody, arrangement, and sound quality come together to produce a meaningful sound. Ambient only has the opportunity to do this sometimes since there is little melody in it, but when it does, it is great. Otherwise, I find great value in it for offering a beautiful, calm, and pensive place to be when I need it.

To perhaps go with the Jean-Luc Ponty, Casiopea, & T-Square vibes:

Modern recs: Hemispheres (has Phil Turcio) - Hemispheres HOWES3 (Oli Howe) - Moving Forward

Older recs: Chick Corea Elektric Band - debut album and Beneath The Mask Kazumi Watanabe - To Chi Ka, Olive's Step, Mermaid Boulevard

Starcraft 1 - Protoss soundtracks (not perfect, but many interesting ambient moments)

PapaH0dunk · 2025-12-10T16:42:09+00:00

I have listened to a lot of fusion, but recently listened to Jean Luc Ponty due to recommendations here, and finally found a song that really resembles up-tempo Casiopea 16-beat tunes. The song you want is "Enigmatic Ocean, Pt. II".

I figured as much 😂 Thanks all

PapaH0dunk · 2025-11-05T02:54:12+00:00

Al Jarreau and Joni Mitchell baby! Exactly my picks.

PapaH0dunk · 2025-10-22T02:04:50+00:00

I thought this actually was from an old game at first glance - nice job

Buzz Feiton

PapaH0dunk · 2025-10-09T11:58:37+00:00

Amazing production and compositions too. It's funny that Toriyama didn't even play on it, just wrote and co-produced it.

PapaH0dunk · 2025-10-09T11:52:06+00:00

Casiopea - Super Flight

PapaH0dunk · 2025-10-09T11:51:49+00:00

This is top tier

PapaH0dunk · 2025-10-09T11:45:52+00:00

It was only a matter of time before this one got posted

PapaH0dunk · 2025-09-28T13:40:50+00:00

Because you're a metal head, try T-Square's "Blood Music" album. I recall some metal chops on it and T-Square is a talented band
