i'm not sure "opium" (the song you're talking about) has much to do with "illbient" (an unfortunate genre name, to say the least)... at all. For one, there's no beat; there's also no middle eastern/africa hoo-ha, no bass, and no groove. I would just call "opium" ambient and have done with it... if you like it, though, I can highly recommend some other things... like alec empire's "les etoilles filles mortes" (i think) or Mika Vainio's "onko" (only the last 1/4 of it is at all similar to what i think you want) or any semi-recent Lull (mick harris of scorn) album, like "Cold Summer," (especially this one) "Way Through Staring," or "Continue." You might also want to try some of the more ambient records on ant-zen/hymen - cold and hypnotic ambience. beequeen or selected Black Lung might work... maybe Ambre too. ===== the humble abbott arthur purvis set his hand hereto __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
