for a good history/analysis of ambient music, check out 'ocean of
sound' by david toop, himself a musician. nobody has written a very
good history of idm just yet ; of course simon reynolds devotes a
chapter or two to it in his classic book 'generation ecstacy', but
the fact that he personally dislikes idm makes him an unpopular
reference on this list. on the web, check allmusic.com and
techno.ca, and even the links below, although i wouldn't rely too
heavily on either of them. good luck !
