    Ok guys...

    been meaning to do this for ages now… but this is a list of some of the ambient / chillout stuff that I listen to (got the list from my amazon account - but I have bought other stuff from other sources...)
    the list is in no particular order except I have looked at my order history in a sequencial order (kindof!)

    what else is out there in the samular vein, or whart do you listen to?

    good stuff there. Everything I was going to recommend I've got. I've got a big pile that was sent to me, I'm working my way through. I'll see if there's anything there you'd like.

    I particularly like LSG all of the Oliver Lieb stuff I've got is awesome, it's a bit along from ambient, but very good with it!

    Have you heard any of the Pop Ambient series (2001 to 2008 so far) on the Kompakt label? Awesome stuff.

    If you like the Stars of the Lid then check out their most recent "and the refinement and the decline" and also related project "the dead texan" (self-titled)

    Also check out "first narrows" by Loscil and for something a bit more dubby and scratchy also look at Vladislav Delay's stuff (multila, four quarters)

    William Basinski is worth a look as well if you want something more vintage.. "the river" is very good.

    Lot's of Biosphere there. I didn't see 'Patashnik' though. That's the only one I've got but I really like it. What are the others like?
