    I used to study and live in the Netherlands, Yost. Made lots of musical discoveries while there. Good times ;)

    I see that Rafael's gotten a couple of mentions earlier in this thread, but I've been hooked on the b-side of this 7":

    Stuart Dempster with ten other trombonists in an underground cistern, along with conch shells and didgeridoo...

    You can't go wrong with any of Nils Frahm's work.

    I suspect this is 'hidden' enough and, if so, I wonder why more people don't consider it a 'gem' (or why I find it so fascinating when I could be listening to Rod Modell, FSOL, Alio Die, Rapoon, Hosono, Lee Norris, R Hawtin, Roberto Musci & so forth).

    For those with surround sound systems (not me sadly) there's a bunch of 5.1 DTS ambient mixes available for download on ambientblog.

    Might be worth checking out.

    Fade To Grey, by 36 (2019)

    In recent time, Dennis Huddleston has become my favourite contemporary ambient musician. He has what most ambient wanna-be-musicians don't have... a great sense for composition.
    Fade To Grey and Circuit Bloom are modern masterpieces of the genre. His latest C45 Dream Loops releases are fantastic too.

    Worth checking out and it's all on Bandcamp.

    This is really good. Bought it from Amazon and turned out to be a CDr, which was disappointing.
