Blind Willie Johnson =
[edit]Untitled
[edit]I removed the mention of Blind Willie Johnson's "Dark Was the Night" as an example of ambient music.
1. This is factually wrong. Whatever the article cited said, that music is not ambient. It's one of my favorite pieces of music. I have huge respect for it. But it is not ambient.
2. This is confusing to the reader. It doesn't communicate what ambient is.
This is the text I removed:
> According to a 1998 article in The Wire, Blind Willie Johnson's 1928 single "Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground" could be filed under ambient music, deeming it "a piece of country gospel improvisation, slide guitar with vocal hums and moans, but no lyrics."[1]

Do we consider ambient to be an exclusively electronic genre?
[edit]At the moment, ambient is listed as an electronic genre in categories, lists and templates. Although it is no secret that many compositions in the genre are made without electronic production - they can be instrumental compositions or made with other field recording like techniques. New-age music also comes from non-electronic ambient, and currently is not marked as an electronic genre on wiki. The term "ambient electronic music" is also used in some sources.
