Dunno why but I seem to remember who you're talking about here (KLF).  The steel guitar
player is BJ Cole.  I do believe he (she?) has been on a number of ambient records so
maybe that's why I remember the name (maybe Harold Budd?).  Anyone else know about
Cole?

Though it's not exactly steel guitar, you might want to look out for Robert Quine/Fred
Maher's "Basic."  Lots of interesting ambient (and non-ambient) gtr stylings there.

(sorry if this is getting too non-IDM here)
