Hello. Over the past few weeks, I've found myself immersed in a search that is lately exhausting me, as I am looking for a very particular sound. It all started when I began to reevaluate Sunn O))), and from there, I discovered Nadja's early albums. Since those discoveries, I've found several excellent bands, but somehow they don't quite meet the requirements of what I’m looking for. I'll try to describe it:

• I am looking for a sonic slowness that is glacial, as if making incredibly slow dark ambient but with doom and drone instrumentation.
• The vocals should be clean, not guttural or harsh. For example, I immensely enjoyed "I Shall Die Here" by The Body, but the screaming repels me.
• Corrupted also fascinated me musically, but it was all ruined when the vocalist started singing.
• Bismuth is relatively close to what I want, but they only have two albums.
• Nadja's early albums are almost exactly what I'm looking for, but their later albums are more melodic, with more conventional compositions.
• I liked Jesu's "Heart Ache", although the vocals don't fascinate me. I would like something more whispered and ethereal or something totally instrumental.
• Someone recommended Inoha when I mentioned my search for cleaner, ethereal vocals. It's not bad, but it's like listening to a heavy version of Lycia, and that's not what I'm looking for.
• Albums that I have liked and that have come somewhat close to what I'm looking for: KTL's first album; "Unavailing" by Bismuth; "Let the Earth Be Silent" by Fvnerals; "Ceremony of Stillness" by A-Sun Amissa; "Weighing Souls with Sand" by The Angelic Process (even though it hardly resembles the sound I'm looking for at all, it's a wonderful album). And above all, my favorite album to come out of this entire search: "Touched" by Nadja.

Apologies for the wall of text and the phrasing. English is not my first language, and I am also tired from staying up late the past few days listening to records. Any help will be eternally appreciated.

Since the latest updates which incorporated a Liquid Glass dock like approach with the shortcuts at the bottom, navigating Reddit has been quite difficult. The most glaring example: when I have a new notification in my messages tab, I click on it and the dock suddenly disappears and there’s no way to return to my main feed, I’m locked out in whatever reply I clicked on my notifications.

Stumbled upon this video after a Sunn O))) binge. I’m enthralled by the atmosphere. Could you recommend some instrumental doom ambient albums that are similar? Thanks in advance 🫡

I’m in the mood of experiencing the story again, how we I’ve never watched their let’s p,ay before. Who would you recommend that takes the plot seriously and insightfully? Someone recommended me the one by jcksepticeye but he’s too chaotic and humorous for my taste. Thanks in advance.

I can’t help myself but to correct people’s terrible use of the word “liminal”. It’s a very strong compulsion I have, I feel real violence inside me every time I see it being misinterpreted. You might think this is a jest but I’m being honest, sometimes it ruins my day! I just can’t let go

Does anyone else gets annoyed at how much Rick Rubin is trying to be Brian Eno? Yes, Rubin is a brilliant producer, but the way he has led himself, specially around the publication of his book, is very Eno coded and to my eyes feels so forced, so inauthentic.

Anyway, those are my two cents. Maybe I’m exaggerating.
