Well I previously asked what was ambient music, and got a whole range of answers. I’m gathering that it is layered/textural music with some kind of subtle groove in the rhythmic/bass aspect, without too much foreground interest in terms of melody, and certainly no text, and probably with some cool ‘atmospheric’ pads. Agree? What do we think of meditative music, and healing music as genres? Along those lines, what would we call music which is meant to affect the subconscious directly, without conscious attention and cognitive interpretation?

Ambient music is a loosely defined musical genre that incorporates elements of a number of different styles - including jazz, electronic music, new age, rock and roll, modern classical music, reggae, traditional, world and noise
Meditation music should be simple and soothing.
Healing music is not literally audible, but simply a harmonic and/or mathematical concept.
New Age music is a vaguely defined style of music that is generally quite melodic and often primarily instrumental.A large percentage of music described as New Age music is electronic and instrumental, frequently relying on sustained pads or long sequencer-based runs.
