not steel guitar, but dreamy & quite similar - keola beamer.
Keola Beamer is one of Hawai'i's premier singer/songwriters, arrangers,
composers, and slack key guitarists. His well of talent springs from five
generations of the Island's most illustrious musical lineages.

p.s. KLF's chill out came around to me once again, in the form of tuvan
throat singing (exampled in song#4, dream time in lake jackson)
--i just saw a live show by Huun-Huur-Tu, a tuvan quartet straight from the
country of tuva, near mongolia and siberia.
they were beyond phenomenal. they have a remarkable art form of overtone
or throat-singing. They're friggin centuries old IDM, just lower tech in my
opinion.
