Ambient favorites


I would appreciate some of our members ambient music favorites... Music that is there, but not getting in the way of reading, talking etc etc ...I seem to remember Brian Eno delving in this back in the seventies, but am frankly clueless to it evolution since then. Thank you.

Labradford comes to mind, too. Same label as Stars of the Lid if memory serves me correctly.

Yep - Kranky and they just re-issued and remastered Prazision last year.
Although listeners may claim falling asleep, any Liquid Mind CD is about as landscape ambient as you can get. I also like

OK - some may think all here NOT ambient but it's what I think. Just a sampling from my library. Keep listening!
The Glacial Movements label is putting out some of the best stuff these past few years. Bvdub, Rapoon, Lull, Oophoi, Loscil, Celer,Aidan Baker,Marsen Jules, etc.I haven't heard a bad note from anything on this label.
