Phat Lab Nightmare is a startling little number from Rising High and Mr. Vibert. I would say that most of the albums before and a little after the release of PLN on Rising High are "very dark", euphemistically speaking. I originally encountered the Wagon Christ material via Chill Out Or Die II, and knew(even before the release of PLN) that this wouldn't be an average ambient album. Most Rising High ambient releases are very unconventional, and unlike any other ambient material i've heard(exception:FAX, for its dark, & moody gothic sounds from age-old synths (Moog, ARP, Farfisa, etc..) All I can suggest to you are the following: New London School of Electronics-The Deepest Cut Pete Namlook-Silence/Silence II Chill Out Or Die Vol. II/Vol. III Compilations (of course)Aphex Twin-Selected Ambient Works II Derek Jordan
