Seriously, I am tired of mother******s saying shit like "Oh, ambient? You mean DJ Tiesto- Traffic (Ferry Corsten & Solarstone's Chillout Mix), right?" NO!!!!!!!!!!!! AMBIENT Ambient. I'm talking Rich, Roach, Reich, and Eno. Which do you like better, Trance Chillout or Ambient, and what are your favorite tunes?

I agree, ambient is a misused word.

Some of my favorites are Steve Roach, Vidna Obmana, Vir Unis, Craig Padilla, Robert Rich, Pete Namlook and artists on labels like Spotted Peccary and Ultimae Records.

Some of my favorite releases:

Harold Budd & Brian Eno - The Pearl
Jon Jenkins - Beyond City Light
Solar Fields - Extended
Vidna Obmana - The River Of Appearance
Steve Roach - New Life Dreaming
Robert Rich - Calling Down The Sky
Vir Unis - Aeonian Glow

Everyone focuses so much on genres now that they all lose credibility and after time there really is no more tracks that fit under a certain genre.

Namlook is genious, Etheral Being is beautiful.

My list is-

Pete Namloon- Etheral Being
Lucid Picnic- Dilemma Millenia
Steve Roach & Loren Norell- Eceiposis
Milieu- Windy Hills
Aphex Twin- Rhubarb
Aphex Twin- Blue Calx
Aphex Twin- Mold
Brian Eno- An Ending (Ascent)
David Sylvian & Robert Fripp- Bringing Down The Light

Well I don't have favourite ambient tunes, because that genre is pretty album-oriented so here are my favourite ambient albums:
Dominic Woosey - Straylight
Dreamfish - Dreamfish
Eno - Music For Airports
Neutron 9000 - Lady Burning Sky
Atom Heart - Orange

Brian Eno and Moby generally do it for me. Montana's dub mixes are fantastic though.
