It's frequently repetitive and it all sounds the same to the casual listener, even though there are quite significant differences between the artists. Ambient became a popular cult music in the early '90s, thanks to ambient-techno artists like the Orb and Aphex Twin.

and while aphex twin is far better known as an IDM pioneer, his selected ambient work albums are top notch. SAW2 is still a fantastic listen.
