Spotify playlist is mostly up to date, and hilariously long. I'll paste things I can't find on Spotify here, in case anyone knows better/has the benefit of local licencing/wants to do something else with them:

if you search for Nag! Nag! Nag!'s username (empeecee), you should be able to find it in his public playlists

Much as I like the 'big tent' definition and I appreciate that 'open music' can be created in many many forms, indeed music that drifts and feels organic & all that but I can't really bring myself to vote for Lee Scratch Perry or Kruder & Dorfmeister or Autechre or Penderecki or endlessly droning black metal records, in a poll like this even though you can credibly argue they're all ambient in one way or another.

ASC is going to suffer massively from vote splitting is he?
― Siegbran, Monday, 20 May 2019 13:52 (five years ago) link
I thought abt nominating that Organum record Siegbran, thanks. I think it qualifies here, some of their stuff is just too noisy but that one's massive and droney.
― Emperor Tonetta Ketchup (sleeve), Monday, 20 May 2019 14:02 (five years ago) link
Yes that’s a corker.
I’m now revisiting the When record, that might be a bit too noisy to warrant inclusion, these collage-type records certainly set a mood but ‘ambient’ doesn’t really fit the bill.
― Siegbran, Monday, 20 May 2019 14:46 (five years ago) link

Natural Snow Buildings - The Dance Of The Moon And The Sun
Is this included in Daughters of Darkness?
― Tormund Giantsbabe (Leee), Monday, 20 May 2019 16:29 (five years ago) link
Daughter Of Darkness is a completely different album no?
― Siegbran, Monday, 20 May 2019 17:01 (five years ago) link
I was thinking the box set, which on review of the rules would not qualify.
― Tormund Giantsbabe (Leee), Monday, 20 May 2019 17:40 (five years ago) link
The Dance of the Moon and the Sun is glorious.

Agreed about Feldman, especially, say, The Viola in My Life.
Can't believe I forgot to mention Rothko Chapel. I would actually be ok with that nom.

Area C: Touch Pieces
Ledriver, this appears to be a 20 minute extra disc that came with the album "Charmed Birds Against Sorcery", not an album in its own right. Do you wish to nominate the whole 2 disc album?
Kara-Lis Coverdale - Grafts
Evan, this is an EP and it lasts only 22 minutes, so it doesn't meet the poll criteria. So you still have 23 nominations left.
― Tuomas, Thursday, 23 May 2019 19:28 (five years ago) link
I didn't even know it was an extra disc. I don't have the original. I withdraw that and will submit more if I think of some.

Oh darn! 30 min or more, right. Got it.

Boards Of Canada ambient or IDM/Downtempo? I was also listening to that Hammock Kenotic record and while it's great, that's mostly a straight up shoegaze/postrock record with lots of uptempo beats.
― Siegbran, Friday, 24 May 2019 10:12 (five years ago) link
BoC have too many boring beats to be ambient.
― Ned Caligari (Tom D.), Friday, 24 May 2019 11:20 (five years ago) link
"Boring" and "ambient" in the same sentence?! I never! *clutches pearls*
However I do agree that BOC don't really strike me as ambient.
However however I am tickled that we've basically got Colleen's whole discography now (only missing her Mort Aux Vaches).
― Tormund Giantsbabe (Leee), Friday, 24 May 2019 16:16 (five years ago) link
Love Colleen but there’s not a single record of her that I’d consider ambient. Perhaps only Colleen et les Boîtes à Musique?

I hate to my nominations so Brian Eno-centric because, duh, but we have to make sure this one is on there:
Brian Eno - Lux
very underrated album in his catalog imo

^^ was just listening to that the other day, quite nice
― Emperor Tonetta Ketchup (sleeve), Friday, 24 May 2019 18:29 (five years ago) link
sadly i'm sure Another Green World will absolutely destroy it in voting, since AGW was nominated. i (of course) adore AGW but it would be difficult to classify as "ambient" under even the most generous interpretation, yadayadayada
― i will never make a typo ever again (Karl Malone), Friday, 24 May 2019 18:35 (five years ago) link
Yeah, great album thought it is, can't see how that one fits. Almost half the tracks have vocals on them.
― groovypanda, Friday, 24 May 2019 19:25 (five years ago) link
Yeah, It's all songs!

Détrée - Architectura Celestis

― Evan, Friday, 24 May 2019 20:26 (five years ago) link
I will be voting for a fair amount of Eno, but not AGW
― Emperor Tonetta Ketchup (sleeve), Friday, 24 May 2019 20:51 (five years ago) link
‘discreet music’ the only truly ambient piece for me
― flopson, Friday, 24 May 2019 21:03 (five years ago) link
I kinda feel that beatless should be part of the criteria of ambient.
― Sassy Boutonnière (ledriver), Friday, 24 May 2019 21:13 (five years ago) link
ambient music isn’t the same as chillout music or whatever

If AGW is ambient I'm out.

hard to see how E2-E4, Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill or Scenes from the South Island can be OK if AGW is out... fantastic records all, but ambient?
