Carbon Based Lifeforms - World of Sleepers

Artist: Carbon Based Lifeforms
Album: World of Sleepers
Year: 2006
Genre: Ambient, Psybient, Electronic, Chillout
Country: Sweeden

Ah, Ambient Music. I'm assuming that if you have any interest at all in Ambient Music, you already have Music For Airports by Brian Eno. If you don't, you best start downloading. While this doesn't sound a whole lot like this, it is definitley something worth checking out if you're a fan.
A good comparison of this would be Helios, another Ambient band. But really, if this is your first step into Ambient Music here, don't worry about it. Ambient Music is one of those genres you will either embrace, or hate. Its pretty hard to get really into, but once you do, its incredible. However, many people consider it boring, tedious, pointless and annoying. True, it's not your conventional verse-chorus-verse-chorus-solo-verse-chorus, but if you're smart enough, you realize social norms are meant to be broken. This includes music norms.
For the people who love to focus on the beat, it's still there. It's hard to find at times, but honestly, Carbon Based Lifeforms is very entry-level Ambient. Brain Eno and Aphex Twin tier. But on this record, you will hear a variety if instruments. The beat sounds like live drumming half of the time, there is definitley guitar and bass at some points, as well as sampled vocal interludes and of course, the basis of all Ambiance, the synth. Take it from somebody who likes achieve beauty in music, this is PURE beauty.
What about the forests?
