Oh yes. Masters at their craft.

"The Pearl" doesn't sound dated at all.

My experience of Ambient:

-Brian Eno
-Harold Budd
-Susumu Yokota - No one's mentioned him yet, Magic Thread is a great LP
-Biosphere - Insomnia OST is especially divine
-(A bit of) Global Communication

Not heard any Fripp or Rich though.

All good stuff - nice to see the dubstepforum crew joining musical dots!

Huge.

Also I'm not sure if Helios would fall under ambient or downtempo, but regardless, the man is a genius. Cannot big him up enough.

i listen to a great deal of 'Ambient' music.
A large amount of music i create would probably be considered 'Ambient'.
Not trying to belittle anybodys personal taste, but i personally think Sasumu Yakota is one of the most overated producers i have encountered. He should just stick to formulaic House music, he's more adept at the 'by the numbers' game. heh
