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.

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

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.
― Rob McD, Friday, 23 January 2004 02:28 (twenty years ago) link
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

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".

At the gig that I saw tom heasley at there was a student of Pauline Oliveros playing as well, Christopher Willis, his treated guitar was also very moving.

Also: Mike Patton Adult Themes for Voice. He recorded this album in hotel rooms while on tour; I wonder what the people in the next rooms were thinking.
Also also: Critters Buggin Amoeba. This album is like electronic bubbles popping in outer space.

964 Natoma is one of SF's best kept secrets and shows there are always amazing. I just missed a tarentel-offshoot last friday because I had to work. There is, provisionally, a Zoe Keating/charles atlas show there on February 20th. It's the best "venue" in town for low-key experimental music. They don't really advertise shows anywhere though since it's a residence, but for anyone in the area interested in this type of music, it's a good idea to keep an eye out for flyers.

You definitely get insight into who he was as a person through those tracks. He cracked into something, you can feel it in his demos. He was coming from somewhere different, mentally. He co¢Ü“ccommunicate zen through a cello. It is worth hunting down.
X-post, Ned, nice.

It's really something -- one of my best stumbled-across-it-at-KUCI finds. Came out on a label called Win Records out of LA, which also put out things by the way cool Ms. Murgatroyd and other good types.
