I second the Rhythm & Sound "w/ the Artists" disc. Very nice piece and also available on vinyl.
In a similar mould, you may want to check out Murcof or one of the recent Biosphere recordings. Although not quite ambient, I was rather impressed with the new Fennesz recording, 'Venice'. He could have easily ended up retreading the same ground, but instead expanded upon his chosen soundform quite nicely.
