I'll also recommend the 'Isolationism: Ambient Vol 4' compilation.
Just picked this up last week when I found it at one of those chain
store's cast off bins for $5. It's a 2CD comp of beautiful drones w/
a little bit O' beats.

Wonderful if you're into this kind of thing!
Not this-listy at all, more proper to the ambient list.
Exactly as its title suggests.
Not the throney part, but the droney part.
Not a beat in sight.
Drones, from ethnic to electronic.
Get tantric, get down, get bored to tears?
Call me silly, but I like it, even though I almost never listen to it.
Requires a certain mood to appreciate.
Most of the drones are rather dark, by the way.
I listen much more to Sheila Chandra's drone album, which surprisingly (as
it's a single artist's work, rather than a comp) seems to cover more varied
mood territory.
Enjoy!
