"ZEIT" album...it's not at all ambiant music, too weird and experimental long epic suites to be ranged under this label. The term "Ambiant" is originally reserved to artists such as Robert Rich, Harold Budd, Steve Roach and Brian Eno.

You have to be rather selective with Rypdal catalogue of releases. I much prefer his jazz rock and experimental jazz material, when he would astound sounding a cross between Jimi Hendrix and Hank Marvin (e.g. The Singles Collection). Then his collaboration with former Weather Report bassist Miroslav Vitous and Miles Davis's drummer Jack De Johnette To Be Continued, is a great example of electric jazz.

Of other Norwegian musicians: many of Jan Garabek records of the last decade could fit the bill. And Bugge Wesseltoft's New Conceptions of Jazz , with a great take on drum'n'bass again might appeal.
