Well, I sure hope the ones I mentioned aren't quite household names, other than Eno's opus for Windows 95.
I also mentioned a few select tunes in this comment, particularly regarding Echotourism and Shalash.
Eh, the thread is basically for anyone interested, like I'm gonna refresh my collection with your list: I've listened to some of those fifteen years ago or so, and forgot about them when my hard drives kicked the bucket. Also, I've sometimes received replies from the author of such a thread weeks if not months later.
I've been a fan of Laswell since mid-2000s, it took me about five years to go through most of his discography, and I still missed some of it. Some poor soul uploaded over two hundred of his releases on Bandcamp starting in 2016, which of course was a cause of huge joy for me, since I love Bandcamp too. Anyway, Laswell was shoving dub-ambient into basically any of his work starting around mid-late nineties. It's also funny to see how he influenced some of the big flock of people with whom he collaborated: e.g. Eraldo Bernocchi had his own ambient project, released around four records, then did the Equations of Eternity project with Laswell and Mick Harris (of Napalm Death and Scorn), and since then all his ambienty projects sounded like Laswell's approach and library of effects.
After my share of run-ins with dead drives and disappearing YouTube videos, I just switched to keeping my ‘collection’ in my notes, with links to a service that works at the moment. And since I'm into outliner notes with some extra features, it's all categorized with a hierarchy and tags, and annotated if I have any useful info. The notes are synced between desktop machines and the phone, and I'll probably cook up some extra backups too.
This approach lived through three different operating systems, without me needing to migrate any big file collections for it.
