This Noise Between Us
This Noise Between Us is a Toronto based ambient music project. They've got a bunch of MP3's available for download, some of them quite nice.
East Forest
Some interesting work here from New York based artist Trevor Oswalt. A record of found sound and such titled "The Education Of The Individual Soul" is available for download or streaming.
The email says it's a "forty-five minute uninterrupted sonic voyage down a rabbit hole of jungle monkeys, vintage piano, entheogenic messages, and pulse like beats."
Don't know what all that means, but some of it sounds quite nice. Have a listen!
Music for Bus Stations by Todd Steed and John Baker
I received an email a few weeks back asking if I'd be interested in a disc of "Redneck Ambient." There's really only one response to that question.
I've since given "Music for Bus Stations" a few listens, and it's good stuff. Nice drifty melodies with just a bit of found sound thrown in. And the found sound apparently comes from a Knoxville, TN bus station. Worth a listen, and available via the links below.

Free Hidden Shoal Recordings Sampler
A free sampler record is now available for download from the always useful Australian label Hidden Shoal Recordings. It's all quality stuff, and while some of the tracks aren't particularly relevant for a site like this, it's worth the download for the ones that are.
The Ambient Diary
The Ambient Diary is an interesting project from Hungarian sound designer Simon Tibor. You can grab the files from his site, or stream them below. Nice stuff.

Type Records
In case you haven't noticed, I've been listening to a lot of stuff from Type Records lately, the UK label that seems to put out all kinds of strange and lovely music, of which their ambient and instrumental type offerings are particularly strong.
