There are some great albums and artists in this department and I thought it would be nice to have a thered about it, where we can talk and recommend stuff.
There is a lot of productive, innovative and creative music in this department and I'll start with recommending on a few albums.
1) Aerosol - 'Airborne'
A lush, dreamy and tranquil album. Dynamic and gently psychedelic. 9 stunningly crafted sonic landscapes of deep and atmospheric music. A heartwarming, magical potion for the soul.
3) Near The Parenthesis - 'L'Eixample' and 'Music For The Forest Concourse'
These are two extraordinary albums. Mellow yet powerful, gloomy yet hopeful. The sound designs of this artist are so interesting,
unique and extremely beautiful.

I like Hammock quite a bit. Though I only have Kenotic. NTP is excellent as well.
My suggestions:
Though it predates "Shoegaze/Post rock" I'll add in Bowery Electric's "Beat".
Port Royal. All three albums are nice. I like "Dying in Time" quite a bit. I owe my discovery of them to this forum BTW.
Post-rock superstars GY!BE. I love their "Slow Riot for Zero Kanada" EP. BBF3 might get a bit busy for ambient ears, but I love the "determinedly fighting my way upwards" feel of the song.
Definitely will check out Aerosol and LOA shortly!

Hi TechMonkey, thanks for contributing
Yes, Kenotic is a good album, some great tracks on it.
I liked what I have heard from Port Royal so far ( still don't have any of their albums though )
About Godspeed You... well, I know them, but not my cup of tea.
Let me know what you think about Aerosol and Lights Out Asia...
Also, on a slightly different note though, if you have some time, check out these two threads:

Always a pleasure Bom*shankar
LumaDaylight, yes, The Album Leaf and Ulrich Schnauss released some good stuff.
Ulrich Schnauss is probably one of the most famous artists in the turf of Ambient / Electronica / Shoegaze. I like some of his stuff.
