I started to write a post and listing some stuff, but realized that it's mainly techno-derived stuff from the nineties and kept it in the drafts without posting.
But if Van Pole started with Solar Fields I'll post it anyway
. So it goes like that:
Seen early PT records called "The Orb with guitars" somewhere, so I guess early Orb is a good pick - some of their albums (like U.F.Orb) are a bit on the ambient-house side but still spacey, and some, like Orbus Terrarum or Pomme Fritz are pure organic ambient with ton of delicious samples and echoes, good stuff. Generally first half of the nineties was full of good ambient music - early Orb, Global Communication (this Tom Middleton dude is worth observing), A Positive Life, Biosphere, Autechre (Incunabula and Amber albums - pure gold, newer stuff is usually some minducking robot music), Aphex Twin's selected ambient works etc. These definitely float my spaceship. Oh, I forgot about KLF's white room - absolute classic.
There's also a fuckton of newer stuff from Shpongle, Asura, Spacetime Continuum, Kick Bong or Shulman (this one likes to be a bit ethnic world-whatever-music sounding, still deep and atmospheric tho). All rather excellent.
