[edit] Proposal
I want to delete this entry and merge it to the ambient music entry, which for some reason doesn't mention dark ambient as a subgenre at the moment. Any objections? Sanctum 02:17, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
- imo the article should remain on its own as i feel that its subject is seperate enough from ambient music in general to warrent it's own page. ambient music is a bit of a mess anyway. ambient techno was merged into it a while back, and although the content from that page was only about ambient and not actually ambient techno at that point, the ambient page still remains underdeveloped in that area with only wishy-washy "Other 'less ambient' ambient styles" section, so i've been considering seperating them again, doing some research and basically starting afresh with the ambient techno article. --MilkMiruku 14:39, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
- Dark ambient and ambient is TOTALLY different (more than hard rock differs from heavy metal, that's fer sure). Frigo 22:43, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Request For Re-Edit
- I agree. This page needs some serious attention.--Bloodofox 19:39, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Edited
I just finished editing this article to a higher standard, as opposed to the two messy paragrahs before.
Feel free to fix any errors, and add more!
- Although I am sure some people are going to take issues with the inclusion of black metal in this article, I think it at least deserves some mention. It looks good to me, certainly a big improvement. --Bloodofox 21:12, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Darkwave
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, a "darkwave" and ethereal wave trend emerged within gothic rock, that tended toward moody atmospheric pieces rather than jangly minor-key rock. Darkwave was particularly associated with the Projekt record label, with bands like black tape for a blue girl doing music that ranged into moody ambient soundscapes.
What a nonsense. Early gothrock and ethereal wave are subgenres of darkwave. Darkwave wasn't particularly associated with the Projekt record label, but with 80s music of depeche mode and joy division. Later "darkwave" was mainly used in Germany, associated with the music from the early and mid-90s (look there). Projekt use the term "darkwave" not before the end of the 90s.
