Great album that. I also loved their album The Isness. Someone put them on at a mushie party years ago and it damn near blew my mind! 
Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works 85 - 92 & Vol II are both well worth checking. Used to be a favourite for coming down off the aul disco biscuits. |

I wasn't expecting that many links. 
There's so much there it's hard to respond to each of them, but I'm slowly working through them.
@Hugh Scully: You've recommended so much there, I don't know where to begin. I'll start with those Future Sound London albums and get to the rest sharpish.
@Loki: Deadly stuff. I'll add them to the list.
@Tezcatlipoca: I'm actually a big fan of Bohren and Club der Gore. Sunset Mission is absolutely amazing. I had a listen to Bersarin Quartett. Their stuff is fantastic. I spent the afternoon in work with them on in the background and I'm well impressed. I'm working my way through the others slowly!
@Shunyata: That's a bleedin' lot! I'll try and get to a few of them tomorrow and get back to you.
@strong reaction: I gave the Bogs a listen a while back. I wasn't impressed on the first listen, but I'll give it another go. I'll get to your stuff when I can. Thanks for the recommendation.
@GODOT: I'll get to that Relay stuff soon.
@Lambrero: That Brian Eno stuff is lovely. I definitely need to explore his catalogue a bit more. Any recommendations on where to start?
@Ravendark: Cheers for the list. A good bit to work through! 
There's so much to get through in one page! ;_;
Thanks for all the recommendations everyone. I'm completely clueless to this genre so it's great to have a small selection to work off. Cheers! Keep 'em coming. |

ya, a ridiculous amount of stuff alright. Whoever suggested Coil, good job. best of the recommendations i've managed to get thru. FSOL remind me too much of comin down off pills as do a couple of other suggestions actually. Wouldn't really find much opportunity to give that stuff a listen any more. Coil however sound really cool. Doom without the guitars. More of that please |

Coil aren't really just ambient or the like though - they're pretty much the creators (along with bands like Kraftwerk, Cabaret Voltaire) of just about every other electronic style that comes from Industrial. Musick to play in the dark vol 1&2, Equinoxes and some of their other material contain ambient songs, but also glitch, acid, and some near enough house music. Love's Secret Domain contains stuff that could never ever in a million years be named ambient. Basically, it sells them short to label them that way.
I'd recommend Horse Rotorvator and Scatology to get a better idea of what the band was truly about. They're my favourite electronic/industrial band, and in my opinion pretty much are there at the start and end of true innovation in industrial, alongside Psychic TV, Throbbing Gristle and Nurse With Wound (and a lot of the bands who ended up making Neofolk) etc. I'd also recommend Themes from Hellraiser and The Ape of Naples for anyone purely interested in their slower material. I can't think of any other group in the world that could make a song out of the theme tune to Are you being served that didn't turn out shit.
Obvious shouts for normal ambient (ie. not dark ambient) are the already mentioned Eno, Tangerine Dream and The Hafler Trio.
Anyone who wants to listen to ambient that is dark without listening to actual Dark Ambient (which is basically defined by Lustmord, Greinke, LULL and Endura) would be well served by listening to the early droning works of experimental industrial groups such as Hirsche Nicht Aufs Sofa (H.N.A.S.) or SPK as well. |

| My Kingdom 12" and 2 copies of a later one. All in all about 20/25 mins worth of stuff on each for £4 a go. Picked up Lifeforms and Son Of A Lung there a few weeks ago. |

I'll leave off for now and let someone else post a few.
Thanks for that! Really liking that Raison D'etre track. It's not normally my thing. |
