soma.fm is the shit. Most of the channels are great, but there is no better place for ambient music than Drone Zone.

Lol, almost mentioned Tenhi in my OP, but I figured since they're Finnish no-one is gonna know them either way. One of my favorite bands.
E: Also have to point out, they have "official" translations for their lyrics on their website all the way up to the previous to last album, done by the band themselves afaik. They're not entirely a 100% accurate and they've taken some fairly big creative liberties in translating them, but close enough and since they're official I give them a pass. Cool to see they get appreciated abroad, they're not very well known over here back home.
Love John Dowland as well.
E2: Just in case anyone is interested:
Tenhi - Varpuspäivä/Sparrow Day,
Sometimes, yes, I absolutely agree, maybe even often. Not all songwriters, as great of a performer they might be for most of their songs, are the best performers for so many of their own songs. Good examples are Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen (Cohen after the first 3-4 albums wasn't IMO the best performer of his own songs) and Jeff Buckley's version; lots of Isaac Hayes' versions of other peoples' songs, most of all By the Time I Get to Phoenix
but the best example I can think of is A Song for You, written by Leon Russell, but Donny Hathaway takes it to a completely different fucking universe and makes it his own. That song is heartbreaking performed by him, Jesus.
Damn that's good, doesn't scratch the itch I have, but great new artist found. Thanks.
Well here's to Shane then! We have a saying that might be roughly translated as: "May the soil be light on your grave.". Cheers for all the tunes. Rest in peace.
Again, peanut butter is used plenty in noodles and noodle soups and it works great. Each to their own though. Just saying. Abomination is literally exaggering it. Literally learned to use peanut butter with noodles from Asian people.
Peanut butter is going too far but american fucking cheese is fine? I don't even wanna know what they put in that shit to make you call want to eat it so much.
Peanut butter is used in noodles and asian cooking plenty and it's great.

I just found this community, but if you're still looking for recommendations I think you might like The Great Annihilator and White Light from the Mouth of Infinity albums. Then maybe Children of God if those hit the spot, their sound is fairly varied, they've been going for four decades.
Their early stuff is amazing as well (Holy Money is top 3 for me), but it's quite a bit different - rougher and heavier and a lot more industrial influenced.
Individual songs: Killing for Company, I Am the Sun, Failure, Fool (#2) (if it starts with piano it's the right version), Love Will Save You, Song for Dead Time (mg version), She Lives, Trust Me, Like A Drug, You're Not Real Girl.
Radio is a Foreign Country, they have their own website, but it has never really worked for me. Music from all around the world.
Also recommend Radio Garden, which lets you listen to radios from all over the world. Sometimes it has featured "posts" with channel recommendations from people, like Brian Eno and such. It's one of the best things on the internet. They have an app as well.
