Another 'relatively simple, yet stunning' album. I picked Copia for the overall balance that it has, but any of his albums will do the job. Verging on perfection.

Einaudi's compositions, whilst usually fairly simple, border on being classified as an addictive substance. Proceed with caution!

Impeccable album that started off 'ambient music' as a whole. Four tracks, all so different, all so magnificent.

Definitely an acquired taste, supremely minimalistic and chilled-out. Advised try before you buy, here.

Bet you've never heard of them, have you? Italian post-rock band with a softer side, both their albums are winners.

Organic soundtrack set to tempered beats and swirling drifts, great price for all four CDs, too.

A Porcupine Tree side-project, slightly tilted towards drone, but still a well-polished album.

Very varied album of different sounds, synths, drumbeats, loops and outright ambience, it's all here.

This is probably the best of theirs, very electronica-inspired ambience, instantly recognisable.

The worst of the list, but that doesn't mean it's bad. A little samey, but highly chilled loops and melodies. Unique sound.
