It is really nice to hear stuff from guy's like Terry Riley. This is important work from a serious modern composer. But yes, it really isn't ambient. Terry would probably be puzzled if anyone suggested it was.
There is a lot of stuff out there in modern music land that would be interesting to play here. Actually the obvious omission of any Philip Glass, is one, but that might polarise opinions more than most. But some Gavin Bryars would be interesting. John Adams' Grand Pianola Suite too.
