This week for me is all about Aghast, and Halo Manash. Ambient stuff is a very very new genre to me. So do what we do best here and force some opinions on me.
There's far better ambient out there than S.A.W. II. I think James even admitted that most of the material was influenced by his appreciation for Eno. I always prefered Volume 1, which has more of a house feel to it.

There may be, but it is all a matter of taste. Been listening to saw II for 10 years at least.
Biosphere "substrata", global communication "76.14", The KLF "chill out", The Orb "the orb's adventures beyond the ultraworld" Pulusha "isolation", Steve Hillage "rainbow dome musick", Reload "a collection of short stories" Alio Die & Mathias Grassow "expanding horizon"
xmikex, you have always seem to have great tastes, but how on earth can you listen to ambient without being a helpless drug addict?
I saw Baraka on DVD for the first time a while back, and like immediately afterwards I picked up on Halo Manash from some random RTTP discussions purely coincidentally. The next day I was listening to it on the way home from work and everyone just looked like stoic weather torn wild animals to me, like I was this disembodied entity floating around a scene out of Baraka. I'm walking home from the bus stop and I'm noticing all these weird things about my neighborhood, and the architecture and the way that light is is hitting this American flag outside the bike store coating it like rust and how still the trees are, and how impossibly far away space is.
And then I'm alls like, yo fuck drugs, this b my new shit.
I don't get why you seem to pick Discreet Music over other Eno material. I like Music for Airports more.

I guess I did listen to Controlled Bleeding and old Aphex before I got near pot. Then I started smoking and was all like "Now I don't have to lie about actually liking it!"

I like all of Enos stuff I've heard. I prefer Discreet Music because I really like Pachelbel's Canon and Enos first rendition is moving, inspiring, and depressing all at once.
check out ColdWinter I just discovered them through...last.fm so many awesome bands on there. very ambient, and sounds like the band name...cold winter scapes with harsh but not intrusive vocals

i'd add another green world into that to make it a trifecta, or whatever, fuck it eno rules, dudes responsible for getting me through so many "6am still way too high on coke and have to be up for work in an hour crisises"
