I agree with these recommendations, though with the caveat that Electronic
Meditation is more freakout than ambient. Other contemporaneous synth
chill out classics include Klaus Schulze (early-mid '70s), Manuel
Gottsching/Ash Ra (although the first six Ash Ra Tempel records are
awesome, the most relevant start with Inventions for Electric Guitar) &
Popol Vuh's first album, Affenstunde (a pure electronic album- the synth
was eventually donated to Schulze).
Actually, there's also a great bootleg Popol Vuh 7" in a similar style
(live @ Beat Club, I think), but I would feel bad mentioning it (oops).
