I just don't know!
Neotropic's most recent album, 96-7203363">White Rabbits, seemed like a not particularly distinctive addition to their catalog, until "Magpies" came on. Is this trip hop? Is it IDM? Is it experimental downtempo? I just don't know! (See also "don't care".) "Feeling Remote" is like the second coming of Woob, the best ambient act EVER, and in fact, the latter 2/3 of the album changed my mind about the "not particularly distinctive" part.
Neotropic - Magpies
Neotropic - Feeling Remote
Woob's two em:t albums are long out of print (although they pop up on ebay and elsewhere, but you may as well give these tracks a listen, and pine for the days when Woob was the soundtrack to every single altered state experience in a tri-state area. These two tracks are meant to be listened to back to back. From the album 4495.

heh, well let's be clear, i didn't mean to suggest those three states were necessarily contiguous...

King Black Acid's Sunlit still gets my vote as best ambient ever ...
