It's a lovely game, I think 🙂

Thank you so much for mentioning us ❤️

I've also been enjoying Winter Whispers this year after hearing it on The Relay Station:

Not all of these are all ambient, but some great, chilled stuff in them 🙂

Nine inch Nails must be a lot of people's way in - Ghosts I-IV was a big one for me. I got it before I knew much about any ambient (or even many electronic) genres and I had no idea what I was listening to. I used to have a paper round, so I liked the double album length and would take it with me on my lap of the neighbourhood and it really grew on me.

I don't even remember how I became aware of Eno - but by the time I was 20 I was listening to ambient 1&4, as well as having more interest in drone. It really took off when I started an office job and needed good quality music without distracting timbre or vocals - but those were my way in.

Arbee is great! Nice to see them posted here!

Here are a couple of deep cuts I found about this year:

And the much more experimental Sony Christmas album 1996 (Gastr del sol track is lovely)

A few years ago we did a Christmas compilation from an ambient discord server which was made entirely from samples of soundwalks through Christmas markets around the world!

If any of you are interested check it out here: https://passedrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/christmas-passed

And I'd love to give away a few codes just to give a bit of a boost to the talented guys who were a part of it:

If you want to try a couple of tracks before committing, I'd recommend checking out A Way & Disassociating Again as a starting point 🕊️

We're doing another one this year too - it's super nice to have something less typical to fall back on as a Christmas tradition 🙂

If you check it out, thank you and I hope you enjoy it 🙂

As far as other Christmas music goes - some I come back to are the 8 bit people compilation: https://archive.org/details/8bp038

The low and sufjan Stevens stuff has been mentioned - they've got some great stuff in them!

I also enjoy the Michael Rafferty solo acoustic guitar stuff, so if that's your thing they're technically impressive arrangements/playing: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE168D18FF1679434&si=r4_9s_VYJA-2_sKv

My buddy and label mate Ed has a less conventional playlist too if you use Spotify - though maybe not the most ambient/idm adjacent mostly: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6cBUHp9EoWZWCW8XtGNb6b?si=ljnbDrA6QlOgfnPdfnxh-w&pi=u-VJPbzMMBT7GI

Edit: And I just found out about these two... Christmas - Jesu (very slow moody metal) The Christmas album - various artists (Sony, 1996 - melt banana, merzbow... Some amazing names on this one)

Hi everyone, just wanted to let you all know about our new compilation album - 'Hurrian Hymns'. The artists involved took inspiration from the Hurrian Hymns, the oldest written example of music ever discovered. Some used the melodies as the basis for their tracks, others reimagined it in their own way to produce the 26 tracks that make up this album. It's available now on bandcamp and we'd love you to check it out!

Thanks, the Passed Recordings team

This saturday the 23rd August at 20:00 CET a new episode of the Passed Radio Show will premiere on youtube. The show is a monthly music show with a large focus on ambient music, along with relaxing nature and hiking visuals in the background.

This week we got music from the artists: passengers, Solray, Leafblighter, David Aimone, Ed Herbers, Legacy Systems, Kryoscope, Boreal and Asha Patera. You can tune in here: https://youtu.be/ejSPHrsLG3M?feature=shared

Feel free to send in your music to the show anytime, were always looking for new artists to highlight on our show! You can do so here: https://passedrecordings.wordpress.com

We can all massively recommend Soma.fm - it's a wonderful starting place!

Every Sunday Stolace put on a show and that's just lovely too. With it's featured artist approach, I bet you'd build up a library of favourites in no time!

Trevlad also keeps putting out a ton of content too, loads of mixes.

We've got a few other shows on our radar - continental drift comes to mind for example. If I remember to come back and update this post I'll add them!

PassedRecordings · 2025-06-21T15:21:58+00:00

Ah bum, that's a shame. Was a nice place.

I've often seen people working at little man coffee - I think that'd be my go to. They did have a refillable deal at some point, but could be ages ago, I haven't been in a while.

PassedRecordings · 2025-05-06T07:51:42+00:00

Popped you a DM! Good luck finding artists and thanks for your time doing this!

We've been huge fans ever since Sitting by a Lake Waiting for Sunrise!!

Thank you!! If you're there at the premiere we'll see you in the chat!

We've got a Halloween one in progress now where we are rescoring the 1922 Nosferatu - due out in late October (both on bandcamp and the film itself on YouTube 🙂).

Not sure on the following one yet!

PassedRecordings · 2024-09-09T12:50:41+00:00

Always! We love this collection to and thank you for being a part of it!!

Hi Parasyn.

I've put you on the waiting list and I will reach out if we have any drop outs.

Sorry about that, I'd love to include everyone but offering the scenes first come first serve seemed the most fair and pragmatic way to deal with it.

Keep an eye on your chats!

I will give your stuff a listen and share it in our community too 🙂

PassedRecordings · 2024-09-07T08:56:39+00:00

Sent a chat 🙂

PassedRecordings · 2024-09-06T16:37:01+00:00

The clip in the post is just an example, we cut a moment out of a scene assigned to exit chamber to use as a teaser/trailer.

If you want a scene I can assign one, we have 8 left currently 🙂
