Dark Ambient

Dark ambient is a subgenre of ambient music that features foreboding, ominous, or discordant overtones. Dark ambient emerged in the 1980s and 1990s with the introduction of new synthesizer and sampling technology in the electronic music genre and other technical advances in music. Dark ambient is a diverse genre, related to industrial music, noise, ethereal wave, and black metal, yet generally free from derivatives and connections to other genres or styles.

"Sequences sounds like being in a dark place of fragmented memories, visions and disembodied moments of time. It feels like seeing things unfold, yet perhaps it is the sound of that darkness." Take your time to listen to my music (free on last.fm). Thank you.

Dead Can Dance не слишком коммерческий проект, хоть и достаточно популярны, да. И вообще не волнуйся так, в любом жанре в "лучших исполнителях" будут указаны левые не относящиеся к жанру артисты. DA убьют херки и блекари. Уже, в общем-то.

Готика убила к хуям этот жанр своим мерзким оттенком романтики - не удивительно, сколько тут коммерческих проектов: Antimatter, Arcana, Dargaard, Dark Sanctuary, Dead Can Dance, Die verbannten Kinder Evas, Elend, Karl Sanders, Midnight Syndicate, Mortiis, Nox Arcana...тысячи их! Даёшь чистоту жанра - долой ХЕРню
