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 really enjoy atomspheric–ambient(both electronic and organic–acoustic) music and have many such titles in my collection. Some of my favorite artists are: Robert Rich, Steve Roach, TUU,Stephen Micus,Spool,O Yuki Conjugate,Koi,some Bill Laswell stuff. Two individual titles that stick with me are: "Afterglow" by Hoppe', Tillman &Weater and "Hidden World"by Serrie & Stroutsos. Many native american flute discs fit in here as well I feel.
Serrie's 'And the Stars Go With You' is a classic ambient/electronic/space recording.

I have read some really awesome suggestions. My favorites are anything from Isao Tomita and Eddie Jobson. For ambient music, I would have to go with Spacetime Continuum.
Michael Garrison from bend, oregon had some excellent early albums. He was big on the sequencer's and those early albums have no vocals and he really was pretty good in that 77-80 timeframe and they're actually fairly well produced.
Wish I would've seen this earlier.
