something along the lines of "a warm place" by Nine Inch Nails or "Welcome to the end" by Celldweller.

Listen to some Pink Floyd.
I'd recommend:
Dark Side of the Moon (album)
Meddle (album)
Animals (album)
Wish You Were Here (album)
If you like try these:
The Wall (album)
The Final Cut (album)
Obscured by Clouds (album)

Listen to Opeth's softer songs.
Hours of Wealth from the album Ghost Reveries is a good start.

Smashing Pumpkins got really mellow at some point. I'm not entirely familiar with them, but I do have Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, I'd suggest checking that out, it's a 2 disc album.

Um, I don't know if this works, but Air's album "Moon Safari" is really relaxing. Air's "Talkie Walkie" is good too, but it's less ambient. I also second Hrigg's suggestions of Dark Side of the Moon, Animals, and Wish You Were Here.

123. Allos, you have good taste!
Also try "To Bid You Farewell" from Morningrise.

Boards of Canada (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boards_Of_Canada), Sigur Rós (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigur_Ros), Aphex Twin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphex_Twin) (the Selected Ambient Works albums)

Actually quite surprised nobody mentioned Brian Eno. He's like, epitome of ambience. Depending on your definition of ambient though, I can suggect anywhere from sigur ros to explosions in the sky, and a lot more in between. Massive Attack, Silver Mt. Zion, Royksopp, and the album leaf are good choices. Oh, and who can forget Zero 7?

I think this fits in your want: Stranger In This Town by Richie Sambora. Incredibly album and is very underappreciated. Samples (at least the ones I've heard) don't do the songs justice either. Really a shame you can't hear at look a good chunk of them to gadge if you like them.

For the win.
Portishead's pretty good too.

Okay, I'm not super genre-savvy, but I would also recommend Enigma, Delerium, and Cusco.

Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap, anything by Iron and wine is easy listening, but if you were really hardcore you would listen to Gregorian Chant (EX: Hildegard Von Bingen) Hells yeah.

The Notwist
One of my favorite bands, Pilot, Consequence, and One With the Freaks are some of their best. Do yourself a favor and get downloading http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Hooverphonic.
Great chill out and relax music. May have a hard time finding their albums, but they're worth looking up.

Deicide!
Just kidding. Don't know if it's your style but "Mortiis: The Stargate" is pretty mellow and ambient.
