I'd like to have some song recommendations, ambient lyricless music, for deep thinking.

I'd like something else besides SOTL and their other projects. Thx.

Been listening to a bit of this dude (who's apparently the founder of soundcloud?) :

I followed a weird link thread one day, and it led to a wonderful world of 80s Japanese Ambient music. There are loads of gems down this rabbit hole if you click around:

Monolake has some pretty good stuff, more beat driven, but still minimal enough to toss in here

Obvious Brian Eno plug

I dunno, I'm just tossing stuff up here to be honest, don't know if any of it is hitting the mark

Or pretty much anything by either of the above.

Maybe some of these as well? Depends how you're listening - I find some of this type of music needs to be listened to on a decent hi-fi or headphones or it can sound a bit harsh.

Brian Eno - Thursday Afternoon (probably my favorite ambient bit ever)

Eno - Neroli (good night ambient/homework music)

Eno - Lux (like a modern sequel to Thursday Afternoon, ambient masterpiece this one also)

Tangerine Dream - Phaedra

Tangerine Dream - Rubycon

Terry Riley - A Rainbow In Curved Air
