Runs on Codeine by The Sales Department
This came to my inbox sometime last year and I have no idea how I overlooked it until now. At any rate, download the 5 track EP "Runs on Codeine" for free (.zip). It's full of dreamy quiet drones that sound exactly like you'd expect, given its title.

Of Surfaces by Richard Chartier
Let's start off the year with the minimalist-est of minimalism. On top of this, you can build anything. An eMusic review called it "dusted absence."
Thanks for reading everyone, happy new year, and onward we go.

Thanks and Happy New Year
The second year of Ambient Music Blog has come to a close and I'd like to thank those of you who have stopped by in that time, wherever you might be.
Personally, I'm thinking about ways to make 2009 the year where the things I do on the web are more for me than they are for other people. I'm not exactly sure just how I'm going to do that yet, or if I'll be successful, but I plan on Ambient Music Blog being a big part of it.
Thanks again, and good luck.
