Ambient music is a very interesting style as it can be listened to in depth but also be as easily ignored. Ambient music is quite often used in airports, elevators and lobbies etc. Some people use it for relaxation or meditation while others (such as store owners) use it as a tool to keep customers calm and happy. Brian Eno was a pioneer of the ambient genre, read more about him on wikipedia here.

Here at acidlabz we have decided to create genre and sub-genre pages for a few reasons. Firstly to give our users some insight into electronica and what it really is. Secondly we love to learn ourselves, so each time we add a new genre to the site, we will engross ourselves in whatever we are learning about and then create a song in that style or genre.
