Brian Eno - Ambient 1: Music for Airports
Eluvium - An Accidental Memory in the Case of Death

By that I mean, minimal piano-driven ambient albums. Prefferably without heavy percussive elements (light trip hop beats maybe), or no percussion at all.

Thanks.

have you tried LABRADFORD's Mi Media Naranja ? it's not exactly piano oriented but it's quite ambient...

I'll get back at you as soon as I'll have more... :D

np
BENIGHTED "Collapse" (brutal death metal, or kinda... not bad anyways...)

I have an album called "Eight Domestic Challenges" by a band called Wibutee. It doesn't quite fit your description, of piano led/minimal percussion, but it is a great ambient album. Typically it's all about double bass patterns (as in the string instrument) and light trip hop beats with a lot of ambient samples and keyboard noises over the top. And also some quiet saxophones solos.

I suggest you try Kátai Tamás - Erika Szobája if Misha hasn't forced you into listening to this already.

Bauhaus-the skys gone out

This has rather substantial amounts of percusion but i think you will like it. It is very ambient and Eno played a part in its creation.

How about minimalist keyboard stuff? Early Mortiis plus side-projects, and maybe late Burzum.

I love some of Burzum's ambient stuff, but one of the two ambient albums suck cock...

One of my favourite ambient albums is William Basinski's Disitengration Loops (actually 4 albums...), I love that. Any more stuff like that people?

Thanks for the recommendations.
