Ambient / New Age Anyone?

I got a lot out of the 'Techno Anyone' thread, so I thought I'd start up one for the ambient/new age stuff. Stuff like Brian Eno (father of ambient), Patrick O'Hearn, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Shulze, Richard Burmer...

I'd like to hear everyone and anyone's thoughts on what they think are the best of the genre.

I particularly like Eno/Budd's The Pearl, Eno's 'Apollo', Richard Burmer's 'Mosaic' and 'Invention', Patrick O'hearn's 'Between Two Worlds' and 'Rivers Gonna Rise', Tangerine Dream's hard to find 'White Eagle' and Klaus Shulze's 'Dune'. I'll chime in with more later.

Any other 'must-haves'??

I wonder why none mentioned Hanz Joahim Roedelius?
I bet that any ambient lover would "eat" his albums with huge appetite.

...just want to remind to all ambient lovers that Roedelius is a member of german ambient project CLUSTER along with Moebius and Plank.
I used to have one of Cluster's latest albums "One Hour" which means one track on CD that lasts exactly one hour.
-- it was way too ambient and i was going crazy not understanding what's going on there and sold it after all.
