Anything by Pete Namlook
Floating by Julee Cruise

These are must have's in the ambient catagory:
Selected Ambient Works Vol II by Aphex Twin
UFOrb by The Orb
Orbs Adventures Beyond the Overworld by The Orb

The only ambient sort of music I have is Tangerine Dream - Phaedra. Sonic Youth's Intro from Bad Moon Rising is pretty spacey and atmospheric.

I'd recommend

Sun Ra - Lanquidity
(the second half of) David Bowie - Low

The Clean - Point That Thing Somewhere Else

The Chills - I Love My Leather Jacket
- I'll Only See You Alone Again
- Pink Frost

yea, i highly recommend brian eno's ambient series. also, check out growing as well, especially the album's color wheel and vision swim.

I've posted this before but here is a download of a superb resonancefm broadcast. Space is the place and a nice one it is too.

Pan American - 360 business/360 bypass.

That's a pretty good compilation, porky....I've had it for awhile.

Cheers guys, a lot of good stuff here, going to spend some time digging through it all. Really enjoyed that early electronic oddities radio show, thanks Sarramkrop!

If the CD turns out well I'll upload it for you all.

I've listened to The Dying Mariner by Andrew Liles about 5 times through today, because it seems to put the baby to sleep really well. I still seem to be enjoying it too. Very spacy, minimalist piece, just piano notes and reverberation.

Kemialliset Ystävät. They're finnish and really good
