Ambient film scores
I'm interested in Soundtracks in how they elevate a film, but also as pieces of music on their own. I like the ambience of a movie score; sometimes it can take over like the soundtrack of whatever you're doing at the time. I like to listen to them when I write.
Love these:
1. Tous les Matins du Monde (Jordie Savall playing the Viola da Gamba)
2. The Piano and Carrington and probably other Michael Nyman scores
3. Cliff Martindale's score for Solaris (Soderbergh's). Minimalist but still emotionally charged...
I'm a huge Philip Glass fan and own all of his soundtracks, but I'd have to say my three favorites are:
1. The Secret Agent (directed by Christopher Hampton)
2. Candyman (honestly, I've never seen this horror film, and there's a long story about Glass's involvement that I won't go into, but the eerie toy piano combined with Glass's usual stuff carries itself well).
3. Of all the "Qatsi" film, I like the score for Naqoyqatsi best, probably because Yo-yo Ma plays on it.
There are probably more....

Re:Ambient film scores
Try the music from STAY or anything Clint Mansell (especially the fountain). I'm love the ambient genre, and i'd love to listen to some of the things you mentioned. I'll let you know what i come up with, if i find anything else.  xinem:I'm interested in Soundtracks in how they elevate a film, but also as pieces of music on their own.
