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.

I've always been an Eno fan, but in the past 2 years have really expanded my Ambient catalog. Some of my favorite artists:

Eno - he has a lot out - everything in his catalog is worth having and most is even better than "Music for Airports"

Harold Budd - like everything I have by him
Frip and Eno - especially "Evening Star"
Michael Brook
John Foxx
Robin Guthrie - not totally ambient - some is a little more lively.
Klaus Schulze - more electronic, but ambient
Tangerine Dream - really more electronic, less ambient

Also - some Jazz "ambient" I like a lot:

Tord Gustavsen Trio - all of their catalog
Bobo Stenson Trio - Cantando, War Orphans
Ralph Towner and Gay Burton - "Matchbook"
