actually phil several years ago i started to shy
away from ambient releases but have gotten back
into the genre within the past year or so. if you like 
the pulse programming release i suggest you try:

. Cathars: amorpheus cd (Miau-Miau International)
. Andrew Coleman: s/t 12" (Thrill Jockey)
. Shuttle358: optimal cd (12k)
. Novisad: s/t cd (Tom)
. Jacob Mandell: Healing cd (Kodama)
. Minit: music cd (Sigma Editions)
. Vladislav Delay: ele cd (Sigma Editions)
