Anyone have some other ambient works similar to Eno's? Preferably something more landscapey like music for airports or Apollo. Some of my favorites include Stars of the Lid, Eluvium, Robin Guthrie (So Many Short Years Ago), Brian McBride (Overture for other halfs), and Helios.

Also, the blog Headphone Commute has some excellent ambient showcases. Suggest finding their year-end lists and listening through: https://headphonecommute.com/ https://headphonecommute.com/best-of-lists/headphone-commute...
