I'll rec something a bit different -
Interni italiani by spencer doran
>>
>>130437916
Robert Rich and Max Corbacho
>>
>>130434687
Good list. Despite everything sounding similar these days Celer is still one of the best warm drone acts that I know I can always count on. Some of their early work has jarring field recordings and while not very conducive to sleep I always appreciated the atmosphere they were able to build. Most recent stuff like Gems is sleep-core but I would find it hard to differentiate most of his discography from it.

Bengalfuel is hit or miss - the weird spamming and subsequent irrational hatred on here have rubbed me the wrong way. Feels like those posters have been going at it for over a decade now.

Billow is a good rec I wasn't aware of, thanks.

My thread recommendation would be some of Tor Lundvall's albums like Empty City, The Mist,:Last Light, The Shipyard...some of his albums do have vocals, but otherwise I find him very soothing and creative.
>>
>>130444504
>Celer

If you like Celer check out Pallette, they feels like a continuation of what celer built, but looks more melodic if that makes sense.

I can never get enough of Schulze. Thankfully the madlad has an extensive discography of consistent quality. No other ambient artist can affe t ne the sqme way, almost to the point I'd classify him in a different genre entirely.

Fucking silly goose, this is one of the few albums I ever bought on ebay, dropped it on my turntable, and just listened non-stop. It literally can do that.

>>130398572
Desert Sand Feels Warm at Night's Dream Desert did that for me. I listened to it in a chair, high on gummies, for like three hours. Retards think his New World Disciples Album is superior, but I have had very few albums that long that maintained my attention. It is a masterpiece of Slushwave and by extension, Ambient music.

I was gonna make a list but 4chan was being lame.

Hiemal has a lot of Winterwave Albums that fit that bill nicely.

https://hiemalambient.bandcamp.com/

A few of Basinski's works can have the effect on me, though some people see his work as (understandably) repetitive. Vivian and Ondine and El Camino Real come to mind.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iThhLjlzOxk

There's a YouTube channel called SpaceWave Cosmic Relaxation that makes 2-4 hour long videos that are cyberpunk or Bladerunner inspired, sometimes he drifts off into things like Dune or the desert or some shit. It's good, find something and just mellow out.

https://www.youtube.com/@spacewavecr


A lot of people are going to cite Eno. I think I would say his Plateaux of Mirror is his most contemplative work.


If you want some Nature, there's Lindsheaven Virtual Plaza (RIP, god rest his soul) and his album, Rainforest I and Rainforest II (Often combined)


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvV4wzN_oh4

If you want Jazzy Slushwave, EndlessWaters was a vaporwave project that sampled jazz, sounds like a mix between weather channel music and something from a forgotten island stuck in the 90's. Anyway, the collection is over 7 hours.
