This is a tough one. Sounds a little like Tangerine Dream, but isn't polished enough. I would say a performer inspired by Tangerine Dream, which might put it as being recorded late 70's thru the mid-80's. This is just a wild guess though. There's just soooo much ambient music.

But one possibility is that you were listening to the Hearts of Space. HOS was one of the only places to hear space & ambient music on public radio in the 80's. (If you're a fan of the ambient you probably already know this.)

If that's what you were listening to, and you can narrow it down to a reasonable timeframe, you could listen to all the HOS shows from that timeframe at the HOS website (subscription is necessary).

Another possibility is to post this question to the discussion group "rec.music.ambient". There may be someone who recognizes the music.

Another place to ask this question is the Ambient Music Mailing List.

And the last place I can suggest to look for help is the Last.fm Ambient Forum. Its a pretty active forum and you might have your best bet for help there.

I'm sure there are others as well.

Good luck with your search!
