Whooah, do we detect an interest in ambience. Surely there are many millions of recording groups and artists dedicated to exactly this sound, especially on this side of the atlantic. Ambience is pure and plentiful and beginning to take a real hold. This kind of music has surely been recorded ever since the seventies, and whilst it has only recently become DJ material it has none the less produced some of the finest moments in the history of recording. What about the stuff coming out of the states (esp. California now). Perhaps we are seeing more of it in english shops than in Ca.! Anyway this is IDM but without the D, so I won't annoy the SysOp by posting a list of my favourites (ie I can't think of enough off-hand, to justify it!) ;) Till then....
