[kj] 'Doom drone" music?‏

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

On Facebook I asked for some recommendations of "doom drone" bands, and 
a really cool guy who's sent me mix CDs from England, also recommended 
Sun 0))) and one other band. I mentioned that Robedoor sounded like what 
I thought of as dark ambient. he said dark ambient had industrial 
implications whereas doom drone was basically guitars but used in a way 
that was atmospheric or something, then asked what Robedoor sounded 
like. I said I realized they used guitars, cellos, analog instruments, 
but played in a very atmospheric, "horror/suspense movie 
soundtrack"-type way ... and that that is what I always thought dark 
ambient was.

Like Current 93's Dogs Blood Rising. I put that on right before 
Robedoor, it doesn't sound like a radically diferent type of music, both 
very atmopsheric, cool, mood-setting, background-type music. I guess I 
just don't get it.
