"tape music" Vladimir Ussachevsky
 

Anyone gave his stuff a listen? It's creepy and weird sometimes, but very well crafted. Let me know your opinion. He is one of the forerunners of the ambient music, I think one might call it. :/

I'm familiar with him through Ohm: The Early Gurus of Electronic Music . I should get more of his stuff.

19 years before the Aphex Twin guy was born and 21 years before Eno made his first record. As someone says on youtube the true originators never get credit.

His actual name is Richard David James but I'm not sure he has used it that much.
