Hello. One of the more interesting recommendations that I've seen on this forum is an obscure album by Cisfinitum called Monochrome. It has many elements that I have often sought in ambient music such as unusual use of the human voice and an overall incredibly dreamlike, even schizophrenic quality that strays very far from the usual drone soundscapes that are often associated with ambient music. Does anyone have any recommendations for ambient artists/songs/albums that are rather different than what is more "typical," perhaps even similar to the album that I mentioned?

One of my favorite ambient artists is Enno Velthuys, a recluse that recorded 4 tapes in the 80s; https://dead-mind.bandcamp.com/album/a-glimpse-of-light
Another hero from the 80s is Hiroshi Yoshimura: https://hiroshiyoshimura.bandcamp.com/album/green

Both have an emotion depth and analog quality missing from a lot of contemporary ambient.

I've never heard the Cisfinitum album you mentioned, but I have been listening to fair amount of ambient music and have been really enjoying Ojerum. It is extremely repetitive, but its been great for background music while studying, reading, etc.
