There are tons of ambient out there, but a lot of it is mediocre at best. So why not share your favorites?
Susumu Yokota - Sakura Brian Eno - Music For Airports Windy & Carl - Depths SAWII Stars Of The Lid - Tired Sounds...

None of those listed so far. Do you mean 'mood music' or 'Wallpaper music"?

Either way it's a shit concept unless you only want to feel/not feel the music superficially.

It's really difficult to sum up the energy to bloody write about any of the ones I like at all so I am not going to give a anywhere near a full list.
SAW 2 (Obvious, but it is amazing) Susumu Yokota - The boy and the tree and magic thread. Milieu - Brother KLF - Chill out Dopplereffeckt - Linear accelerator
There are loads more I just can't remember any. It seems to be a favourite style of mine. There is something about it when it's done well. It just haunts me to the very centre of my being.
I am going to stop before I make more of an idiot of myself.

'Amibent' is a pretty vague description/genre, I agree. But when I think about ambient, I think of how Brian Eno defined it: "[It can be] actively listened to with attention or as easily ignored, depending on the choice of the listener."

''Freescha - Kids Fill the Floor''
Oh yes. Too many beats for me to think of that album for this topic but whatever, they are magic.

I'm starting to get into Steve Roach, but his discog is the most frightening thing I've ever seen. 60+ studio albums, and I have no idea what to start with. It seems like he's done quite a few tribal/world music/new age-ish albums. I'm not a big fan of this sound, so if I want beatless ambient stuff, which albums of him should I get?

he has a few that sound more futuristic and spacey, rather than tribal.. although the tribal stuff isnt as bad as it may sound, he has a very deep and full sound all through.
his newest album arc of passion is more futuristic,
other than that on his website steveroach.com he has actually categorized into genres LAZY_TITLE
sio just get the atmospheric space ones and pure electronic..

There are a few nice tracks (the beatless ones mainly), but most of it is boring idm nonsense, which goes nowhere in my opinion. I got sick of buying the records after they got obsessed with limited runs in every colour in the spectrum too.

Thomas Koner- Tiemo/Permafrost Lustmord- Heresy Steve Roach- Midnight Moon Brian Eno- Ambient 4 Alva Noto- Xerrox (not as much a "pure" ambient cd as the rest of these- kind of ambient + noise)
Biosphere- Substrata
SAW2 is way overrated.
