Well, I don't think there's a such thing as an "ambient Pink Floyd album", as
the mood and pace varies over each one. But to use an example, 1971's "Meddle"
has a long track called "Echoes" that takes up side two; Namlook and Atmo's
"Silence 2" on FAX samples the hell out of this track.
I wouldn't really call any Floyd "Ambient"; more like "languid Psychedelia" in
the early days. You can hardly go wrong with anything released before "Dark
Side of the Moon"; "Piper At The Gates of Dawn", "Saucerful of Secrets",
"Ummagumma", "Relics", "Meddle" etc. ... (though personally I was never quite
as fond of stuff like "Atom Heart Mother" or the "More" soundtrack ... )
