Prog electronic ambient > new sparse loopy ambient

I mean, technically proto-ambient is still just ambient. It's just that Eno coined the term to refer to this type of music that already existed.

My favourite ambient record. Love it's noise, the lyrics, and, god, these reverb based ambiences are so fucking gooooood.

Basinski's works are IMO essential ambient.

Melancholia is a personal favourite but 98282 is a good way in.

Can anyone recommend Krautrock influenced ambient music (aside from the obvious - Eno and Bowie's Low)?

>>70678848
please stop posting that Grouper album, thanks
almost everything she's done besides that one is more ambient
