I don’t limit myself to music genres, so oftentimes, whilst browsing the internetz, I stumble across some IMHO pretty cool stuff.
If I had to pick one album I’ve come upon in 2009, it’s gotta be 76:14 by Global Communication (with 11:11 by Rodrigo y Gabriela a close second).
Great stuff to listen to for cardio, nocturnal driving and even while learning stuff.
Post your choice electro / ambient pieces.
Electro? Man, and you used to be one of my heroes 
Cool stuff, Fatty!
I love ambient music and have a rather large playlist of it in my iTunes library. Most of it doesn’t have a beat (as I prefer a seamless soundscape while I work), but a mild beat/rhythm is good otherwise.
Some favorites are John Serrie, Windy & Carl, Stars Of The Lid, Deosil, Brian Eno, and my 17-year old son’s work. Yep, he’s a musician and has been composing ambient and trance music for the past 4 years.
I wish I knew how to post music files here.
I have tons of electronic/ambient music on my computer! Here are some of my faves but this is only scratching the surface…
Happy hunting man!
ambient, as a genre inside of the ‘electronica’ umbrella - tends to be more downtempo just background kind of music - similar to lounge music.
www.di.fm has their own ambient internet radio station which you might enjoy a listen out of.
my favorite recent electronica album is BT’s ‘This Binary Universe’ which i think you would rather enjoy.
I don’t know what that is, but here is a recent collaboration of what I feel is an Electro beat with hip hop’s Akon and pitbull:
Favorite line " fuck you pay me"
Telepopmusik ambient?
www.Somafm.com has 18 online stations. I listen to Groove Salad all day during work. There is Lush, Drone Zone, Clip-hop, sonic universe, secret agent, illinois street lounge, Space station Soma, digitalis, Boot Liquor, Beat blender, Indie Pop Rocks, Poptron!, Covers, Tags Trip, Doomed and Mission Control. Mission control plays ambient backgrounds with actual NASA misison control broadcasts. It’s pretty neat.
Kthxbye

spyoptik i cant see the links at work but i beleive akon has been working with david guetta, who used to be known for his trance IIRC, so that may be why it sounds more electro
Some of my favourite lowkey electronica.
Isolee - Beau Mot Plage
Martin Buttrich - Again
Minilogue - Animals
And the best not lowkey electro track ever:
Revolte - Flash Gordon Comes Back
FF -
Love this sh*t. I’m usually neck deep in a database, or requirements specs, or code of some sort. Ambient/Electronica is great for it. I’m also into Downtempo/TripHop/AcidJazz, some of which can get pretty deep.
Some good stuff here: http://somafm.com/ (Groove Salad channel, Drone Zone channel, etc)
You can stream it from the site or from WinAmp (Shoutcast Radio).
I’ve been diving into some of this as I’m travelling more for work and can’t take my guitar. I’ve been putting together an electronic studio/mixing laptop (see other thread about mixing software in G.A.L.). Pretty fun stuff for a creative outlet.
Magzie-- awesome selection.
Edit: Totally missed Vegita’s post-- LOL! What he said…

what IIRC? alot of people don’t like David Guetta because he’s too “commercial” but I appreciate him bringing the newer types of electronic music to the mainstream; as far as the U.S is concerned.
Good stuff guys, especially Rhino Jockey (with the Boards of Canada.)
Absolutely my favorite electronic song, hands down…
- YouTube (Gets awesome)
Ay… so many!

IIRC = if i recall correctly. That was my first time hearing David Guetta on anything other than different live sets that ive downloaded throughout the years, maybe he just doesnt get alot of play in my area. people dont like tiesto, armin, pvd, oakenfold either for being too commercial but they can put on a heck of a show.
aphex twin did an ambient disc, and dj shadow is more ‘trip hop’ but i think of him as ambient as well.
