There kind of is, maybe that will help.

I am not sure on the artist you said, but I have quite a few relaxation/meditation/sleep ambient albums you may like. Here are the two that are probably my favorites. The first is a little more upbeat and good for getting you in a thinking state. The second is perfect for either falling asleep or just resting and having light background music.

Chakra's Dream : Peaceful Sleep (Last.fm Link)
Brain Sync : Super Learning
(Last.fm Link)
That is definately helpful, thank you. I'm sure I can find lots of new artists in that thread.

As soon as I can scrape together the money, I will do just that.

I highly reccomend Visit Venus, and Entheogenic if its that kind of thing. Very chilled out.

Also, for long drawn out stuff, and slightly more worldy stuff, Robert Rich's collaboration with Alo Die is awesome.


Also, for the most ambient of the ambient, you can find it all here, with reviews, categorization and sound samples:

Ambience by Sound :: Ambience for the Masses
Well the only ambient music I really know is Brian Eno and Harold Budd. I'm not exactly sure what they're classified as. I'm not as much of a fan of the techno ambient music, that actually has a beat; I like ambient music that is more formless. I will definately make good use of that site though.
