Mainly from listening to jungle/drum n bass.. even the most hardcore drum n bass listener like me could not withstand the obnoxious rolling basses, bpm-pushing beats, and incessant amen-soundclashing 24/7. Got into the more "soothing" sounds of chill out dnb/intellijungle and it opened the door to other ambient sounds. Also from AMP: yeah MTV sucks but they used to play some good videos on AMP back in the day that opened the door.

Stumbled on some Global communications mp3s on audiogalaxy one day, then I found David Parsons and from there I branched off into tons of other ambient by finding the ambientrance website.

It's quite weird. I was a black metal fan a few years ago. One of the most famous bands of the genre, Burzum, due to many reasons changed their music to something dark ambient-like. I liked it. Then I read that the founder of dark ambient genre is Lustmord. Well, here's where it all started. :-)

I guess Bill Laswell introduced me to ambient. Most particularly, his "Outland" project with Pete Namlook. I think "Outland 2" was my first. Then I started from the beginning with Brian Eno's Music For Airports.
After researching and listening to many ambient albums throughout the last 8 years, I'd have to say these are essential:

Brian Eno - Music For Airports
Biosphere - Substrata
Robert Rich & Brian Lustmord - Stalker
Bill Laswell & Pete Namlook - Outland 2: African Virus...
Lustmord - The Place Where The Black Stars Hang
David Sylvian & Holger Czukay - Plight & Premonition
Robert Rich - Seven Veils or Trances/Drones
Tim Hecker - Haunt Me, Haunt Me, Do It Again
Tetsu Inoue - Ambient Otaku
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Volume II

If you're a big fan of ambient music and you're missing any of the above titles, you are missing out!

Way back in 1994 I bought my first ambient albums: Selected Ambient Works II by Aphex Twin and a compilation called Chill Out Or Die 2 (released on Rising High Records), and that got me hooked :-)

I don't know - i feel that there's too much mediocrity in popular music.

I think that my interest turned to something bigger after i listen to "I Care Because You Do" by Aphex Twin (i was 14 at that moment)

The In Sound from Way Out!

I first heard this when my oldest sister brought it home. I think it was 1967. It was the first commercially successful work in electronic music, but it does sound like a curiosity piece now. If you listen carefully, you can hear the roots of most subsequent genres. I moved on to Walter then Wendy Carlos' works because there was nothing else to listen to in North America that was available from the public library. My resources were very limited, so I made do with my library card. In 1973, there came into my life Tangerine Dream and away I went...

This album caused my continued fascination with electronically created burbles, whorps, bleeps and snarls.
I blame Kingsley and Perrey for wasting so much time and money, and I bless them.

The soundtrack to Solaris. Damn, that was great. Ever since I've been hooked... Currently listening to a lot of 1 mile north.

it was 1993...

Very cool. I liked the Hitch Hiker's soundtrack too, never realised Terry Riley was involved. Must track it down...

Anyway, I grew up with Kraftwerk, Jean Michelle Jarre, Vangelis, Erik Satie, Debussy and Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata so it was a logical progression.

I remember seeing a poster for a band called "the orb" when I was 13 or 14 and I thought they sounded interesting - I think I'd just seen Barbarella or Woody Allen's Sleeper.

I got "U.F.Orb" for xmas. Soon after, a friend of a friend gave me a tape full of ambient music but without a tracklisting. Me and my roommate at the time listened to it non-stop.

Now I have tracked down all the tracks which included: Aphex Twin, Sun Electric, Higher Intelligence Agency, A Positive Life, Original Rockers, Banco de Gaia, Irresistable Force, etc.

Then I discovered Brian Eno - through David Bowie, Roxy Music.

Still going strong...

Since, um, 1987

A friend let me borrow Vangelis' Ignacio and after breaking up with a girlfriend, I listened to it all day every day for about a year. Mostly Vangelis, leading to other ambient things.

Never be too busy making a living that you forget to make a life.

I needed music that I could work to. Something that wouldn't distract me. I found the Radio feature of iTunes, scanned a lot of channels and found several I liked in the ambient genre. Ever since then, I've been a fan.

Early nineties, I read an article mentioning Aphex Twin, so when I got to the music store, I took home his "Selected Ambient Works Vol. 2". I was sold right away and bought some of his other albums. I'm still a big fan, and also listen to Brian Eno, Biosphere, Tangerine Dream, Raison d'être, ...

Final stroke came when I ran into Reload's album A Compilation of Short Stories. Reload is basically same project as Global Communication. That album defines ambient to me :)

I've always been a music hunter... found various ambient things over the years... starting off with occasional dark skinny puppy ambience, moving on to Aphex Twin (via Come to Daddy.)

Then I swung away and went all folk-pop.

Then Boards of Canada dragged me back in... investigations with friends turned up Aspen, Woob, Lull, Chris and Cosey's Electronic Ambient Remixes Volume 1, Susumu Yokota's Grinning Cat.

Got into post rock, and those artists blurring the lines between rock and ambient (GY!BE, Sigur Ros.)

And my collection has grown... Stars of The Lid, Signer, In The Nursery's soundtrack work, Labradford.
