If you can find a copy, check out David Toop's 1995 book *Ocean of Sound*. Great history of ambient music going back to 1889. [https://www.amazon.com/Ocean-Sound-David-Toop/dp/1852427434](https://www.amazon.com/Ocean-Sound-David-Toop/dp/1852427434) Here's a playlist someone made that combines the book's [companion album](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_of_Sound) with other music mentioned in the text: [https://open.spotify.com/user/ckp101/playlist/1jmdHQeVoBxLOQ5wClFKky?si=Wt09X1iyTaGAQE9vVhFVtA](https://open.spotify.com/user/ckp101/playlist/1jmdHQeVoBxLOQ5wClFKky?si=Wt09X1iyTaGAQE9vVhFVtA) It's pretty wide-ranging. Many of the pieces are not ambient music. Instead they're foundations that ambient artists pulled from, riffed off, built on and pulled apart.
