There was a entirely different zeitgeist in the 90's. Ambient music stations. An stuff like Philip Glass:
 
I got into ambient in the 90's. It was a sidestep off of the "new jazz" that was coming out and getting popular. There's a music radio show.....or I guess you'd call it a podcast now........called "Star Streams". I ran across it one weekend when I was trying to find something to listen to on the radio. It happened to be on the new jazz station in Dallas at the time. Fell in love with the music and been addicted to it since. I don't listen to much else anymore.

They have a Youtube channel now...
 
I saw an installation at the Legion of Honor building in San Francisco many years ago that was a collaboration between Eno, Robert Fripp and (I assume) a Neon artist. It consisted of ever shifting ambient Frippertronics with similarly ever changing neon art.

It was pretty cool.
 
Those vids are NOISY. I don't consider them ambient at all.

These are what I call ambient:










 
When I had my antique store, I played this one all the time. Customers browsing loved it. I had to buy more cd's cuz they always wanted to buy it.
