Hmmm. How about the fabulous stuff out of Caroline Records. And what is
"the true sense"? Hawke are surely one of the best ambience-influenced bands
on the planet. I haven't heard it yet, but what about the "California Dreaming"
CD? Other names escape me just now. If you are in serious need of American
Ambience I can get you the address of Dave Spalding, operating out of the
gulf. He has a few ideas, and a radio show to prove it.
