not when you stream it on the net...check out NPR in your area for local listings of these types of broadcasts

^actually, NPR has many streams itself. but each NPR station also streams. You can not stream NPR live from NPR.org, you have to stream it from a member station. Most shows are streamable well after original air time, some are downloadable. I listen to NPR habitually, and all online. your'e doing it wrong, buddy.
 
Massive Attack is really good, but its Trip-Hop, not really ambient..although some people probably still classify it as ambient sometimes.
 
Sound Tribe Sector 9 studio albums are amazing.

"Live at Home" is the most ambient / chilled out.
"Artifact" is probably their overall best

It's a good album. It captures what I like about ambient music.


btw...I remember there was an producer that posted some of his stuff on bluelight. I can't seem to recall his name, it was saturnimus or something like that.

I also love Kilowatts.. he has another project, Skeetaz, which is really great psybreaks weirdness.
