hahaha, that's genius. got to link that one straight to a friend. 

Label: Ultimae Records Style: IDM, Downtempo, Ambient Rip: 320 kbps
Tracklist: 1 Hours (5:42) 2 Breathe (5:58) 3 Radio Bombay (6:08) 4 Benares (Vârânaçî Edit) (8:07) 5 Endless Park (3:19) 6 Human (6:04) 7 One Step Behind (7:08) 8 We Are Analog (5:44) 9a A Forgotten Ritual (6:50) 9b Untitled (6:40)
"Hats off to my good friend Underfoot for bringing my attention to this new release from an excellent French psybient label, Ultimae Records. The owners of the label, Mahiane (Sunbeam) and Vincent Villuis (Aes Dana), have been focusing on some of the most advanced, chilled out, psychedelic ambient sound, with that uplifting morning trance feel. Lyon based Olivier Orand’s (Hol Baumann) sophomore record, Human, is no exception. Orand tastefully blends a pinch of ethnic asian sound with a base of downtempo glitchy atmospherics (reminding me a little of Tipper’s earlier work). Orand’s tracks have previously appeared on almost every installment of the excellent Ultimae Fahrenheit Project series. For the latest compilation volume, Fahrenheit Project Part Six, Orand contributed his Radio Bombay track, which, in my opinion is not the strongest in his entire album. What I’m saying is that Human has a lot more to offer than what you may have accidentally glimpsed through past appearances. I recommend you check out this release in its entirety, especially if you’re interested in exploring another form of chillout: psychill. Other artists to check out: Cell, Aural Planet, Bluetech, and Aes Dana."

Check google and search albums with winrar extension. There's a lot to be found. 
Here's a 2004 release by two New Zealand dub ambient composers called Pitch Black. Some tracks are so comfortably dub it feels like floating peacefully in the womb. Others pulse along on the nod before turning themselves inside out with snaking shimmers and rhythmic twists. A good album. Chill but also with nice bass lines and plenty of rhythm.

Artist: Pitch Black Album: Ape to Angel Genre: Electronic/Ambient/Dub

This is a totally awesome thread. I discovered Ambient back when I was younger, I guess, when I started listening to 'New Age' stuff like Vollenweider, whos first five albums are really good if you haven't heard them. Later, many years later, after developing hard drug addictions, on the days after, when recovering from brain damage I would take baths and keep the lights off and try to get my head and heart right, and I couldn't stand a corner or edge. I needed pure sooth. So fortunately I found Seefeel through the United States of Ambience compilations. These three or four lps are still the defining standard of the ambient sound and as such are themselves as good as any single artist. Seefeel is like listening to the inside of the womb. So check them out.

So for ambient I like something soothing beyond measure. Some other albums like that include: David Sylvian - Plight and Premonition Anything 'Hearts of Space' Nightmares on Wax Ambient Dub compilations United States of Ambience comps Future Ambience comps Excursions in Ambience comps and so on
okay goodnight

Really nice soundscapes ivi, thanks.

Bill Holt - Dreamies (1973) Part 1 Part 2
Pitchfork Review:
For one year in the early 70s, Bill Holt lived the real American dream: quitting your job to do something you love. In his late twenties and supporting his Delaware family with a disheartening 9-to-5 gig, he decided to make a go of a career in music, in spite of having next to no first-hand musical experience. He holed up in his basement with an acoustic guitar, a few chords, a Moog synthesizer, and assorted electronic devices and created what would prove to be his only opus: Dreamies.
The album is a triumph. It's difficult to even place it in context because it's such an oddball little record, on the one hand probing whatever corners of his mind Holt felt were worthy of exploration, and on the other deftly preserving a sense of popular songcraft. Holt structured his album in two side-long suites, "Program Ten" and "Program Eleven". The numbers he chose were not random: He saw his work as a direct continuation of what the Beatles did on "Revolution 9", packing it with found sound, including a couple of boldly snatched samples of "I've Just Seen a Face", "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", "Oh! Darling", and "All You Need Is Love".
Not that sampling other peoples' records got him into trouble. The simple fact is that almost no one heard the album upon its initial release, and the situation has barely improved since. In fact, until Gear Fab records resurrected Dreamies back in 2000 for a limited release, the album was completely unavailable outside of collectors' circles, qualifying it for genuine Lost Classic status. This most recent reissue sounds absolutely fantastic, presenting Holt's hi-fi vision with brilliant clarity, subdivided into tracks of more manageable lengths.
As the album opens, President John Kennedy mingles with a field of insects, making his famous payload/payroll gaff in a speech about the space program. This gives way to Holt's acoustic guitar, slowly descending through some basic chords and his mellow, double-tracked vocal. This trippy little song becomes the backbone of a 26-minute odyssey that teeters on chaos at points as radio transmissions, snippets of title fight broadcasts and recordings of shattering glass interrupt and fade, all the while dappled with Moog overdubs. Holt hands the melody to the Moog on occasion, but mostly uses it to create the album's weird, buzzing ambience.
On the flip side, "Program Eleven" is more aggressive and downcast, featuring a loop of Holt's whispered exhortation to "just dream" used as a rhythm, along with numerous samples of gunfire and TV commercials. Holt also appears to have made some of his own field recordings, as apparent subway announcements and dinner conversation leak into the texture, fighting with simple psychedelic pop for the listener's attention while Moogs climb and descend scales. Eventually, the suite veers into jarring passages of noise and overlapping voices.
The overall effect is something like a primordial Olivia Tremor Control, and easily as wild and unfettered as anything the Residents were doing in the 70s. Dreamies has its obvious and acknowledged influences-- the Beatles and John Cage chief among them-- but it's also clearly the work of an untutored auteur dissecting his own mind in the basement on reel-to-reel. Holt never recorded again, as the financial losses he suffered making the album forced him back into the workaday world, but more than 30 years later, his one moment on tape still sounds incredible.
