Edit: Thanks for all the music recommendations! I got way more than I was expecting so it will take me a while to sort through them. I'm excited to check them out. Thanks again!

That's Namlook again.

I wanted to interject that you forgot Laswell's infatuation with dub-ambient, but you actually overshot it since he also made a whole bunch of disco, funk, jazz, metal, drum'n'bass and whatnot. I think his biggest ambient stint was the series of collaborations with, surprise, Namlook again.

Gas - em:it 0095

Fun fact: there are two ambient artists called Gas, the other one of which released their titular album a year later.

You might also want to add some Terre Thaemlitz, Jeremy Taylor aka firQ, Osamu Sato, Mr Projectile, Chris Zabriskie, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe & Ariel Kalma, Peter Rehberg, Bruce Gilbert, Laurie Spiegel and ‘Windows 95 startup sound, slowed 4000%’ to your tracklist.

Well, I sure hope the ones I mentioned aren't quite household names, other than Eno's opus for Windows 95.

I also mentioned a few select tunes in this comment, particularly regarding Echotourism and Shalash.

Eh, the thread is basically for anyone interested, like I'm gonna refresh my collection with your list: I've listened to some of those fifteen years ago or so, and forgot about them when my hard drives kicked the bucket. Also, I've sometimes received replies from the author of such a thread weeks if not months later.

I've been a fan of Laswell since mid-2000s, it took me about five years to go through most of his discography, and I still missed some of it. Some poor soul uploaded over two hundred of his releases on Bandcamp starting in 2016, which of course was a cause of huge joy for me, since I love Bandcamp too. Anyway, Laswell was shoving dub-ambient into basically any of his work starting around mid-late nineties. It's also funny to see how he influenced some of the big flock of people with whom he collaborated: e.g. Eraldo Bernocchi had his own ambient project, released around four records, then did the Equations of Eternity project with Laswell and Mick Harris (of Napalm Death and Scorn), and since then all his ambienty projects sounded like Laswell's approach and library of effects.
