actually the mention of air, dead can dance, and pink floyd in this thread makes me wonder if one of the main points of contention into what is or what is not ambient revolves around an individual's taste in regards of what they like to listen to when they want to relax.
i'd go so far as to say that 'relaxation of the listener' is another fundamental aspect of ambient music.

Agree mr dave. In a "pure" sense Ambient to me is the classical style pioneered by Eno, as an example, but when the term is used generically in even Noise rock I understand the reasoning.
Have you ever listened to Dark Ambient? I was given a file last year by a group called Inade. I was rather impressed. if you have recommendation's along that line I would be more than interested.
