I feel like this hits the nail of the topic title right on the head. "Science Of The Sea" was released as if it was a reissue of a private press album from the early 80s by a guy called Jurgen Muller, which was quite a nice gentle prank. It's really good too.

That's lovely in both concept and execution, Famous Mortimer.

Mollusk, have you heard Bibio's ambient album from a few years back, Phantom Brickworks? A lovely organic balm that doesn't fade too far into background.

Two Paths

Capel Celyn

Add a few lo-fi beats to a lot of the textures in this thread and you get Tokimonsta (potentially waaay off topic but a few suggestions reminded me of them so here we go).

It might be a little bit noisy for your purposes, but:

Not Half

have produced some things that I've enjoyed recently. He didn't make them recently, but I'm a decade behind on everything important. "I Want It To Be 1983 Again" and "Excluded From Owning Recording Equipment" are both decent, or at least have some decent sections.

I'm on a big folk vibe today and am totally not arsed at all about ambient music because my brain is an ALL OR FUCKIN' NOWT sort (big part of ADHD is hyperfocusing on something for like three days straight and then getting totally bored of it), but I have bookmarked this thread for when my next big ambient mood comes along. Many thanks for all the suggestions so far!

Ben Frost.
That's the name I was trying to think of - if you (hypothetical reader of this thread) have enjoyed some of the other things on here, his stuff is great. He does soundtracks for games and TV and so on, but even that is a cut above the average, and his actual albums are brilliant. Just listening to "Aurora" now and it's bloody lovely.

This is a beaut from earlier this year. Intimate, absorbing mixture of acoustic and electronic sounds.

That's bloody lovely.

I was reading about Emeralds earlier on (amazing music) and I noticed a spin-off I hadn't been aware of, Imaginary Softwoods (John Elliott's project). He's not as prolific as Emeralds were, but his stuff is just great - here's a track pulled at random, "The Path Of Axinite" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4itmwsRng34

That's a good one that I'd forgotten about. You're probably aware of this but he has also recorded under the name Outer Space (which is a more kosmische sort of project). He's interesting, the more mysterious and less prolific of the former Emeralds.

Loads of lovely stuff on this here playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7zqgNYvLCA95juac1CHlNP

I've been particularly enamoured with Rameses III, Manu Delago, Grouper, and Ishq, none of which I'd heard before.

I have an Outer Space record knocking about somewhere, which I bought for its Emeralds connection, but I forgot it was the same bloke. So much good music from that group of people.

Just digging back through this thread because I've got a ton of work today and there's not a lot of music I can play and still concentrate ...anyway, this starts off really well for my purposes, then it goes all calliope-centric for a bit. But then it goes really good again. He worked with the Residents, apparently?
