Looking for a "atmospheric" music

[Synyster]

So you're sort of looking for something creepy and haunting or what?

Disregard

 

[RaNDM G]

The Terminal Show from Homecoming. Every time I play the game, the piano piece sticks in my head for hours.

 

[Argonian alchemist]

ANY soundtrack from Assassin's Creed 2 (videogame) is freakin' amazing...

 

[MorsePacific]

I listen to a lot of Bonobo when I'm playing Minecraft specifically because it's atmospheric. This is by far my favorite song from him.

 

[Kuranesno7]

I have a few ideas,
these are probably slower than what is needed, but what the hell I'm givin input

 

[TheDarklite]

<youtube=SGzwir0Yezk&feature=related>Painful Memories
Or
<youtube=ys11lCc_4_c&feature=related>Ethan Mar's Theme

Both of these are very emotional and powerful pieces, in my honest opinion.

Innocent Blue and Monochrome From Star Driver: Kagayaki no Takuto... both are maiden songs, and if you like anime, then there you go

EDIT: *Note* I don't I can be taken seriously with the stupid beiber avatar...

 

[Fenix7]

Anatheme's "We're Here Because We're Here" is what you are looking for. Best atmospheric album I've listened to in quite a while.

Archive's "You All Look the Same to Me" also works.

 

[Dango]

That came to mind when I clicked on the thread.

Go classic
Beethoven's Moonlight Sanata

 

[Lazarus Long]

ANY soundtrack from Assassin's Creed 2 (videogame) is freakin' amazing...

I'll see your AC2, and raise you just about anything else Jesper Kyd has ever done.


With a side of Jeremy Soule:

One more for sheer awesome. It's not exactly the mood the OP wanted, but similar enough, I think, for me to pimp it out.

I would suggest you get hold of the soundtrack CD from The Witcher. It came with the Enhanced Edition of the game, and it's full of great music like this. The second game also came with some pretty epic music.

This is one of my favourite pieces of music, especially the final quarter or so:

 

[The Virgo]

I'm really into atmospheric music! Give me a second and I'll have you some songs!

Here's the song "U Smile" slowed down 800% percent. I think we can all agree that Justin Bieber sounds 800% better when he's 800% slower. If you don't believe me, listen to it!


I love this song. That song + the picture = chills.


Listen to this song with sounds of the sea playing behind it. Trust me, it's amazing!



Less atmospheric, but still great!


I love this song. It's distant, mournful and chilling. Perfect! The whole soundtrack to The Lost Crown is beautiful, but I can't find it.


If I can come up with any more, I'll be sure to share it with you. Tell me what you think!

 

[To_Sirius]

Want something cathartic?
Erik Satie is your man


If not that, then this...


Failing those, try this:


This is part 1 of Richard Strauss' Death and Transfiguration AKA "Tod und Verklärung." Strauss even remarked to his daughter-in-law as he lay on his deathbed in 1949: "It's a funny thing Alice, dying is just the way I composed it in Tod und Verklärung."

 

[Soviet Heavy]

I'd say Auriel's Ascension would fit the bill.

So sad and remorseful, and yet hopeful as well. Like a fallen kingdom, reflecting on its former glory, yet resigned to such a sad reprise.

 

[lacktheknack]

Hi, i had a sudden urge to listen music that feels like ... How should i put this.. Let me think.. Something that would play when something big has happened and there is no going back in time .. Something that comforts but still feels cold & out of your reach.

<youtube=ZVvjXJentik>

Here you go, it couldn't fit the bill more perfectly. This is the music that will play all over the world during the apocalypse, if there's any justice.

Touche' good sir... touche'

Damn he's talented...
