A surprise hit, Play delved into highly personal areas in a downtempo vein never before explored in any of his previous releases.

Everything from the rare groove of "La Femme D'Argent" to the Euro-pop of "Kelly, Watch the Stars!" is vaguely familiar, but never so successfully arranged until this point. Live, they are prone to wearing white jumpsuits while strategically placed fans blow wind through their hair, and there is no shortage of body-popping electro-funk.

A giant of the Southern California avant-garde, his expansive works explore silence with as much poignancy as the notes themselves, painting reverberating desert landscapes with sparse, meditative piano and keyboards. His impressive body of work has garnered him a broad fan base made up of New Age yuppies, hard-lined experimentalists and an increasing number of Indie types, due in part from his work with the Cocteau Twins' Robin Guthrie. - Doug Russell]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6302764&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss Ambient Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:38:14 -0800 Top Ambient Artists on Rhapsody Online art.6302764 art.6302764 Ulrich Schnauss art.6302764 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6302764&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6302764&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss Far Away Trains Passing By.

The members of the group hail from Denmark, Sweden and West Africa, and their music reflects this diversity. Indeed, they have quickly become one of the go-to groups for shows like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and are often tapped to provide music for television ads by Mercedes and DKNY. Their music was also featured in the feature-length films Passion of the Christ and Steven Spielberg's Munich. Bliss' chilled compositions have been compared to those of artists including Sade, Norah Jones and Ennio Morricone. But where those artists stick to the tried-and-true pop formula, Bliss' music aims toward the New Age compositional form. Their U.S. debut album, Quiet Letters, featured gentle ethnic percussion and mysterious orchestration with guest vocalist Sophie Barker from famed downtempo heroes Zero 7. Bliss take the quiet road and invite us on a journey through a lush netherworld of calming soundscapes. - Nicholas Baker]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68944&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss Ambient House Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:23:04 -0800 Top Ambient Artists on Rhapsody Online art.68944 art.68944 Robert Miles art.68944 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68944&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68944&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.867&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss Downtempo Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:55:56 -0700 Top Ambient Artists on Rhapsody Online art.867 art.867 William Orbit art.867 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.867&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.867&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss Ray of Light and introducing another facet of Brit-Pop favorite Blur's sound on 13, Orbit's list of production credits are as distinguished as they are long.

They bring a truly experimental attitude to what is often a convention-bound form, and their records are always an adventure, breaking fresh sonic ground and then moving on to the next challenge. The music is never difficult for its own sake; in fact, what makes FSOL so successful is the way they integrate their sonic investigations into a funky, listener-friendly format. Their releases are always accessible and danceable, allowing them to present new ideas more easily -- and pushing the whole scene forward as they do so. - Mike Schulman]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.43718&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss Ambient House Sun, 27 Sep 2009 09:56:27 -0700 Top Ambient Artists on Rhapsody Online art.43718 art.43718 The Orb art.43718 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.43718&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.43718&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1365&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss Ambient House Wed, 22 Jul 2009 10:59:09 -0700 Top Ambient Artists on Rhapsody Online art.1365 art.1365 the fireman art.1365 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1365&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1365&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.10069439&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss Ambient Fri, 21 Aug 2009 10:03:50 -0700 Top Ambient Artists on Rhapsody Online art.10069439 art.10069439 Kenneth J.

http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2443&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss 76:14 with a photograph of an ear that rendered the organ as something approximating a lunar landscape, Global Communication found the perfect image to encapsulate their sound. Taking inspiration from the cosmic synthesizer journeys of Vangelis and Klaus Schulze, they ventured ever inward, following the trajectory of ambient electronica's most contemplative strains. The duo of Tom Middleton and Mark Pritchard reserved other aliases—Jedi Knights, Link, Reload—for dance music proper, variously influenced by electro-funk and acid. But Global Communication all but did away with the beats, sticking to ethereal synthesizers and washes of field recordings. They weren't afraid to let the world in -- "Obselon Minos" follows the pulse of a ticking clock -- but as their time-coded track titles suggest, they were most interested in exploring a field of pure sonics where known reference points melt away. - Philip Sherburne]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.19414903&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss Ambient Thu, 6 Nov 2008 10:17:26 -0800 Top Ambient Artists on Rhapsody Online art.19414903 art.19414903 Port Blue art.19414903 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.19414903&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.19414903&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68863&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss Leftfield/IDM Sun, 15 Nov 2009 11:04:04 -0800 Top Ambient Artists on Rhapsody Online art.68863 art.68863 Leila art.68863 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68863&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68863&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3225&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss Trance Fri, 23 Oct 2009 11:56:13 -0700 Top Ambient Artists on Rhapsody Online art.3225 art.3225 Chicane art.3225 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3225&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3225&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.54981&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss Ambient Thu, 24 Sep 2009 09:49:05 -0700 Top Ambient Artists on Rhapsody Online art.54981 art.54981 The KLF art.54981 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.54981&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.54981&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3071&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss Ambient Thu, 6 Aug 2009 10:39:01 -0700 Top Ambient Artists on Rhapsody Online art.3071 art.3071 Faith and the Muse art.3071 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3071&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3071&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.45239&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss Ethnic Fusion Wed, 22 Jul 2009 10:59:09 -0700 Top Ambient Artists on Rhapsody Online art.45239 art.45239 B-Tribe art.45239 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.45239&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.45239&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5150137&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss Ambient Thu, 5 Nov 2009 16:49:07 -0800 Top Ambient Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5150137 art.5150137 Desert Dwellers art.5150137 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5150137&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5150137&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.548&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss Ambient Dub Tue, 13 Oct 2009 10:04:51 -0700 Top Ambient Artists on Rhapsody Online art.548 art.548 Euphoria art.548 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.548&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.548&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.56662&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss Experimental Sun, 13 Sep 2009 09:19:53 -0700 Top Ambient Artists on Rhapsody Online art.56662 art.56662 Stars of the Lid art.56662 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.56662&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.56662&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fambient%2Fartist-chart.rss Music for Nitrous Oxide was aptly named: organically developed songs with subtle rhythms gently massage the unfeeling inner parts of your brain. More recently they have collaborated with groups like Labradford on remixes, and created boundary-breaking multimedia work with painter Jon McCafferty.

Silky female spoken word vocal samples slink in and out of the celestial mix like expensive lingerie. Inspiring lyrics and delicate bouts of giggles waft up from a pool of earthy ambient bliss. Though best utilized as a soundtrack for the steamy scenes of yet another "9 1/2 Weeks," the digital, electric edge on these soft grooves maintain a chill-out appeal for intimate rooms. - Melissa Piazza]]>
