japanese influenced ambient band

[autumncurve]

im looking for a band that has a similar style to Uruk-Hai's experimental album "A Night In The Forest" (which is like an hour and a bit of ambience)...but has a kinda Japanese influenced feel to it...

[Transient]

are you looking for the band or are you looking for ecommendations? it seems to me youre just looking for the band name right

[Zionist]

Aren't Uruk-Hai's the half human, half orcs from Lord of the Rings?

[Transient]

yes. also the name of burzum before...well, burzum

[autumncurve]

yeah they are but its also a BM band. nah im looking for recommendations...

[Transient]

so what the hell does being japanese have to do with this thread anyways. youre looking for good ambient bands? there already was a thread like this.

liholesie
boards of canada
shpongle
ozric tentacles
biosphere
aphex twin

[autumncurve]

yeah i know, but like with a japanese influence. like the instruments etc

[Transient]

i cant help you there. why are you asking, anyways

[autumncurve]

i was just wondering, i like ambient music and japanese instruments sound like theyd sound good in an ambient band...

[Zionist]

Sorry, maybe you should try an ambient forum instead of a metal forum.

[Transient]

yeah. i cant help you here

point taken, thought a japanese BM band may have gone in the same direction Uruk-Hai went with that album....

sigh? (japanes bm but never heard them) if you want a japanes sound, then listen to traditional japanes music

[Pandemonium]

Sigh rules. Catchy guitars, black metal vocals, and REALLY trippy Mini-Moogs and other weird instruments. Get "Imaginary Soniscape".

[Silent Night 6 6]

Psh, only Japanese bands I know are like Loudness and Hell Child.

[BeastOfCarrion]

Japanese people have really noisy grind.

[Pandemonium]

I think Concerto Moon is another good Japanese band, metal though.

You may want to check out a geezer called Ryuichi Sakamato, he's been doing electronic music since the 80's and he did the music for the 'Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence' film in which he also co-starred with David Bowie.
He uses traditional instruments and might be up the street your looking for.
Also I recall a band called Mono who I think are Japanese and they do chilled out stuff.
Plus there is also Boris if you want the trippy stoner stuff. :stoned:

Failing that there is always film soundtracks and the Japanese do a very fine line in crazy head fuck films! :D

Other Japanese bands: Mad Capsule Markets, Vow Wow, SOB, The 5,6,7,8's. Shonen Knife.

[autumncurve]

cheers man, ill check a few of them out...

"japanese influenced ambient band"

And you said SOB.


What the fuck.

What the fuck.

Haha! I was refering to Japanese bands in general and not just the ambient genre at that point! Though I could see how a 'Scum' era Napalm Death influenced Asian band could create a certain ambience! :D
