Ambient/Chill out recommendations a la Aphex Twin

CliffHuxtabel

I recently discovered Aphex Twin via 'Selected Ambient Work 85-92' and I flippin love it.

I especially like tracks like 'Ageispolis', 'Pulsewidth', 'Delphium', etc.

Just wondering if anyone can recommend anything similar:

ambient electronic music that you can chill to but that also has a bit of a beat so you can listen to it on mp3 player out walking etc?

Any and all recommendations will be appreciated

Theres a huge amount of what you are looking for out there... Even starting with the same label as 'Selected Ambient Works' which is called 'Apollo' you will find lots more ambient techno - a few recommendations from this label (just a few but they are all great from this label):

The label 'Warp' would also have lots more but a good place to start would their two 'Artificial Intelligence' compilations and also the rest of the Artificial Intelligence Series which consists of 8 albums to include the two comps.

I could go on all day with recommendations but I'm sure theres enough there for now! Oh and the label Apollo is long gone so you would need to pick them up second hand, Amazon marketplace is the best bet and well worth hunting them down.

While I think of it actually, an all-time favourite of mine is 'The Four Cornered Room' by Luke Slater - an absolute cracking album and should definitely hit the spot -

Luke Slater's 7th Plain - The Four Cornered Room

The other one under the 7th Plain name is also excellent - 'My Yellow Wise Rug'
