OP: We already have a recommendations thread
, although I grant you the thread title might not be immediately obvious. It would be my pleasure to recommend you some ambient albums, but you might want to take your enquiry over there first. I'll post a list in that thread as well as this one and make it clear that it's been referred to from here, if that's alright with you?
Anyway, recommendations:
- Anything and everything by Hammock, although strictly they're somewhere between ambient and post-rock.
- Stars Of The Lid - And Their Refinement Of The Decline. Pretty much essential listening for the genre.
- Tim Hecker - Ravedeath, 1972
- Grouper - Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill
- Olan Mill - Pine
- Julianna Barwick - The Magic Place (almost entirely vocal/loop-pedal based. Beautiful.)
- Lowercase Noises - Carry Us All Away
- Luke Abbott - Holkham Drones
- Bas Van Huizen - Plooibaars (very noisy.)
That should be enough to be getting on with, I hope.

Listen to Music with Tropers at The Troper Turntable!As stated in the Gateway Albums thread: Brian Eno, Music For Films. Enjoy.
Also: Warren Burt, Harmonic Color Fields. Totally bizarre but utterly brilliant.

Love :zoviet*france:, Nocturnal Emissions; ergo, cannot argue.
By ambient do you mean something to study with? Otherwise, Hans Zimmer: particularly the Inception soundtrack.
With blood and rage of crimson red ripped from a corpse so freshly dead together with our hellish hate we'll burn you all that is your fate

I mean some ambient albums. I love this kind of form of electronica and I would love to get into more of it.
It's metafiction about metafiction about metafiction. More serious message: Don't you wish you watch everything that happens in the wo
