When trying to define what is ambient music, I discovered there is actually no clear definition for it. It is easier to say what is not ambient music than to say what goes under it. When I was trying to find out bands and music going under ambient genre, I discovered plenty of surprises there.

One of big the surprises, and yet rather obvious one, was to find out Pink Floyd listed as an ambient music band. But on the other hand, Pink Floyd defined my musical taste when I was a teen. I simply fell in love with their weird soundscapes.

I also used to listen a lot of progressive rock, soft rock, and even grunge in between. Then I sort of returned back to "my roots" and to ambient music. But the bottom line is that any music goes when it is good!
