Main were a British band formed in 1991 by guitarists Robert Hampson and Scott Dowson, both formerly of the English rock band Loop. Drawing on that group's experimentation with drones and guitar texture, the duo moved further into ambient sound, eventually abandoning traditional percussion and rhythm altogether. They released a number of albums and EPs to critical praise in the 1990s. Dawson left the group in 1996.

rdfs:comment	I Main sono un gruppo musicale britannico di genere ambient formato nel 1991 dai chitarristi e Scott Dowson, membri dei Loop. Il loro stile all'inizio era debitore del kraut rock e della psichedelia per poi svilupparsi a partire dal primo album Motion Pool in una musica ambientale sostenuta dalle chitarre elettriche con un sottofondo di voci e rumori surreali e dove scompare del tutto il ritmo. Il gruppo ha interrotto l'attività nel 2006 ed il leader si è dedicato all'attività da solista. Quattro anni dopo Hampson ha riformato il gruppo con il musicista tedesco .
