Hello,
I came across this comment at the Inside Out Worlds post, "odditonic said... Thank you for illegally distributing my music and making it impossible for me to make a living. Your posts are THOUGHTLESS" At the next post my mediafire account was scrapped , it seems this selfcentered git was responsible for it, mind you there isnt any of his music, just the style and format i guess .I found his website, http://www.higher-music.com/ , he should have thanked me for creating interest in his niche, talk about thoughtless.

To the matter at hand, two different styles of ambient here, the post rock of Rothko and the electronic Dubscapes of FSOL and both are very worthwhile.check them out .

Ambient, IDM

Rothko - Forty Years To Find A Voice (00 ^ )

Rothko is a London-based instrumental ambient group. The group mainly uses bass guitars and keyboards to create their soundscapes. They derived their name from the painter Mark Rothko. They have been described as post-rock for their habit of using rock instruments to create non-rock music.Formed in 1997, the original line-up consisted of Mark Beazley, Crawford Blair, and John Meade all playing bass guitar in a variety of different ways. Rothko released 3 albums on Lo Recordings and a host of singles and EPs on other labels before Beazley disbanded the group in 2001. So this album was the last in the original line up.

Since, his first release was a collaboration with Japanese ambient master Susumu Yokota, titled ‘Waters Edge’, a 12" only EP, also on Lo Recordings. In the winter of 2001, a deal with Too Pure Records was signed and, with the help of the group Delicate AWOL, the album ‘A Continual Search For Origins’ based on Marks' travels around Switzerland, was recorded, and released.

In the summer of 2003, Mark started his own label, Trace Recordings. The first release on Trace was the critically acclaimed album ‘Wish For A World Without Hurt’ which was released in September 2003. The album was a collaboration with Washington DC based sound and visual artist, JS (Jim) Adams, otherwise known as BLK w/BEAR. 2005 sees Mark team up with Caroline Ross, of Delicate Awol, on the new album, Rothko and Caroline Ross - ‘A Place Between’ That year also saw the release of Mark's second collaboration with Susumu Yokota, the album 'Distant Sounds Of Summer' . Beazley also provided music for the Discovery Channel documentary "The Flight That Fought Back", about United Airlines Flight 93. In September 2006 the band finished their new album 'Eleven Stages Of Intervention'
