How about a little bit of trivia re: ORB Adventures beyond the Ultraworld.

Alex Paterson actually got sued by Ricki Lee Jones for sampling her from an interview for "Little Fluffy Clouds".

What were the skies like when you were young?
They went on forever ? They - When I - We lived in Arizona, and the skies always had little fluffy clouds in 'em, and they were long, clear, and there were lots of stars, at night. And when it would rain, they would all turn - They were beautiful, the most beautiful skies as a matter of fact. Um, the sunsets were purple and red and yellow and on fire, and the clouds would catch the colors everywhere. That's uh, neat cause I used to look at them all the time, when I was little. You don't see that. You might still see it in the desert.

Re: Best ambient albumns

i'm going to do mixes...

b-sides - chloe harris - ambient tides 3
b-sides - chloe harris - the sleepies volume 1
b-sides - chloe harris - sci-fi
b-sides - chloe harris - fao

this is not to hype myself up. these are just good mixes of mellow-ass music from over the years that i've found i still listen to when falling asleep or wanting to be mellow.

Re: Best ambient albumns

Agreed, I just had to listen to this again and Global Communicatons - 76 14. I love 9 39

Too bad I can't find Lull - Moments anywhere Sounds like a must-have.

Re: Best ambient albumns

Just received Biosphere - Cirque in the post, and I shit you not, this is a classic

Wonderful creation

All those who know of Substrata, you will not be disappointed. Similar epic music

You heard it here

Pantha Du Prince - This Bliss (2007 Diamond Life)

neither are ambient... but both good!

read today an article about Bernard Szajner who i am not too familiar with, but evidently the following albums by him are great: Visions of Dune (as Zed) and Some Deaths Take Forever
