'Vienna' is my favourite album of his, but everyone else seems to prefer 'Endless Summer'

It's ambient but it's got some skull-crushing noise to it too - I can work to this stuff without any difficulties!

but pretty much the most beautiful and dreamy things I have heard lately (but still heavy, loud intense) would be anything by the The Angelic Process and Nadja's latest album.
Both on myspace.

I've been listening to Jóhann Jóhannsson's Englböm recently. It's quite dreamy and may be slightly more involving that you are considering, but it's worth checking regardless.

I dunno if people count it as noise but ist damn pretty and ambient made up of orcestral drones and such like.

At All Ends is another good one to get if you like Ambient Noise - I prefer it to the two you mentioned. Their live album Descension is worth a look too - quite similar to Drift.

Belong as well, Colorless Record and October Language are both worth a scope.

s'latest album

Gruntsplatter. I have the album Chronicling the Famine. Has a dark ambient feel to it with layers of harsher noise just below the surface threatening to rise up and take hold.

I'm clearly not actually going to get any work done now

ktl?
final, justin broderick's experimental project.

and an ickle jag, forgive me

Eluvium

there's always earth / Sunn o))) / boris (lower case) if you want to go down the drone avenue.

modern(ist) classical composer, using lots of repetition and so on. Is nice.

but I think Labradford fits what youre looking for..Check out Mi Media Naranja, western cinematic loveliness.

if this is what you want but how about *shels

I want to check out their stuff.

Terry Riley maybe? Not really noise at all but pretty epic.

I got a vladislav delay album and it's definitely ambient and interesting but not noise - the four quarters.

I've been getting into jane (panda bear and his less famous friend)who are again probably not noise in any sense but are a cool ambient band.

Danse Manatee by animal collective is kindof noisy and ambient in places.

I'd recommend any of these just generally.

As already mentioned and in another thread to-nite.

but both Toe
www.myspace.com/toemusic and

Rashomon
www.myspace.com/rashomon68 do quite pleasant noise stuff.

it turns out I know this guy and hadn't even heard his stuff. Its more on the ambient side than the noise side but I think it's worth a mention. Beautiful stuff.

Listened to Set fire to Flames - Awesome stuff!!!

at all ends is pretty great, I think I probably prefer it to the two albums I already had. Much more ambient

C Spencer Yeh
Helhesten
Beachfuzz
Carlos Giffoni (Sort of, abit harsh at times)
Robedoor (abit droney)
Pocahaunted

Emeralds
Mouthus

its a little 'mainstream' compared to some of the others here, but Liars' Drum's Not Dead fits the bill I'd say.

Also, some bits of Acid Mothers Temple, & Sun 0)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) is oddly soothing.

William's Basinski's Disintergration Loop's are worth a listen too, although more droney string loops rather than noize.
