i never thought I would see the words jam the fuck outta and ambient music
juxtaposed like that.

Oh yes. Masters at their craft.
"The Pearl" doesn't sound dated at all.

My experience of Ambient:
-Brian Eno
-Harold Budd
-Susumu Yokota - No one's mentioned him yet, Magic Thread is a great LP
-Biosphere - Insomnia OST is especially divine
-(A bit of) Global Communication
Not heard any Fripp or Rich though.
All good stuff - nice to see the dubstepforum crew joining musical dots!

Huge.
Also I'm not sure if Helios would fall under ambient or downtempo, but regardless, the man is a genius. Cannot big him up enough.

the term ambient, is a fucking joke. listern to it loud and then come back and say its ambient.

i listen to a great deal of 'Ambient' music.
A large amount of music i create would probably be considered 'Ambient'.
Not trying to belittle anybodys personal taste, but i personally think Sasumu Yakota is one of the most overated producers i have encountered. He should just stick to formulaic House music, he's more adept at the 'by the numbers' game. heh
