ElectroWhat? - Ambient

Ambient exists on the “cusp between melody and texture.” I just compared it to wallpaper, so, obviously, this is not the kind of music that is going to make anybody go crazy and start fist-pumping. Some people think that House music is for “chilling”. It might be a little downbeat compared to Trance and other subgenres of Electronic Music, but if compared to Ambient, House music is not at all chill. Ambient music is the kind of music that nature would play if nature could play music: it is incredibly relaxing. At first, it sounds very simple, but if one actively observes it, they are rewarded with an intricately designed work of art.
