Hello,
I am looking for recommendations.

I want instrumental/ambient music with children or baby sounds. Music with children "vocals" (or samples) that are not lyrics (like laughing, humming, crying, etc.).

That is what I want most. If you can't give me children sounds, I also accept ambient/instrumental music with sounds of spring and flowers.

can anybody recommend me music for a hypothetical person named Gabe who wishes that this Alice Coltrane improv was a full album (something other than just like, Alice Coltrane albums, because this hypothetical person has already heard those)

haha I actually first listened to this back in 2014 when you were stanning it left and right. it's very good, still go back to it sometimes

interesting you should mention the kinda droney folk ambient stuff because Ulaan Passerine is one of my go-to bedtime ambient purveyors. Been meaning to check out Lau Lau for ages and this seems good a time as any. and damn haven't listened to Pullhair Rubeye (either version) in idk how long, might have to revisit

on my old account I had a custom chart dedicated to exactly this, when I unlock customs on this one I plan on remaking it. can let u know whenever I've got that up and running (btw massively seconding Applerill's Gwen Guthrie rec, it's a masterpiece fr. i mean like peep my overall chart lol)

obviously, I know 1/1000th what a lot of other BEA members know regarding this whole interconnected universe of music. But I recently really loved the Cacola album A Gift To Us All. This is a 2021 album and is the highest album on RYM as of now, so not exactly a deep rec. But its super happy and upbeat drum and bass and breakbeat with nice synthy stuff.

I don't know. I tend to have a little feeling of being a fake when recommending music I am not familiar with.

@Applerill

I've thought about what you wanted recced for awhile, and I think I found it in my own chart.

Angel's Egg by Gong

You've probably heard this one before, but I think that Gong have elements of camp, jazz, and avant garde on this one. Not the whole thing, but certain tracks like "Prostitute Poem".

But, I also may be way out of my realm here, so let me know if I am.

(I love all of the Lovely Music albums BTW)

Val Maira by Dave DK

Similar vibes, but seemed to gain zero traction when it came out. Worth a listen. (No bells, mind.)

The one-two punch of Pantha du Prince (Black Noise + Elements of Light) was just what I needed. Great rec, very unique take on minimalism and microhouse, although I still like Black Noise more. In fact, I haven't heard it in years and forgot just how good it was. That Dave DK album was great too, maybe slightly too long and uneven. Or maybe it's just that I've had enough minimal electronic for today heh.

Elements Of Light by Pantha Du Prince & The Bell Laboratory

Yeah this was awesome, exactly what I was looking for, thanks! I've heard some Pantha du Prince here and thought I knew what I was getting into but this was way better than anything I've heard from him before. I guess I just love bells haha.

KitchenSink wrote:

this might be a little too much of that, but uh this shit slaps

This was also quite good but yeah maybe a little too much haha. I had a CD of bell sounds and liturgical music I purchased from a church in Bremen, Germany long ago. This reminds me of that. Would be a good companion piece to read Dostoevsky

This sounds interesting, must be good if Pantha Du Prince is involved.
