Ahh, I misread it the first time.
This makes for a bizarre list.

This list is turning out very much as I envisioned it:

"This makes for a bizarre list."

I have to get off my bum and finally make that ambient mix I have been thinking about since I finished the winter mix.

65 Hans-Joachim Roedelius -- "Selbstportrait II"
66 Hans-Joachim Roedelius -- "Selbstportrait III"

do you mean Oliveros / Dempster / Panaiotis: Deep Listening Band (1989, New Albion)? if not, tell me more!

67. Stuart Dempster - Underground Overlays from the Cistern Chapel

Yes; sorry if I got the title wrong. The 1989 one on New Albion.

I think the first 1-2 minutes of every Wolf Eyes show is kinda ambient (uh... maybe not).

-66. autechre - Garbage

this is pretty fucking ridiculous, but the hope of it being anywhere close to something that could be described as 'accurate' was never there, right? In that case, this has been an interesting selection of Ambient, and i commend you all.

Do you have some hidden super special definition of Ambient that God on high gave to you?

except for the Wolf Eyes thing everything else seems to fall within the required boundries

68. Eliane Radigue - Trilogie de la Mort
69. Asmus Tietchens - Seuchengebiete 2
70. Thomas Dimuzio - Sonicism
71. Edward Artemyev - Solaris OST
72. Arcane Device - Envoi In Cumin
73. Rhys Chatham - Two Gongs

that cube thing was odd

81. Deep Listening Band - All Night Flight
82. Francois Bayle - Erosphere
83. Jon Hassell - Vernal Equinox
84. Christoph Heeman - Aftersolstice
85. Ragnar Grippe - Sand
86. Erik Satie - Vexations (Alan Marks, piano)
87. The Harmonic Choir (David Hykes) - Hearing Solar Winds
88. Stephen Kent - Family Tree (disc 2)
89. Laurie Spiegel - The Expanding Universe

Heasley now I know how to find him too. He said he played down here sometimes.
Thanks

I think Perfect Prescription can very easily be defined as Ambient, some of their other work was very agitated but Ecstacy Symphony was pure bliss.

Mixmaster Morris heavily sampled them on the Irresistable Force Album "Flying High".
