Ambient recommendations?
My usual genres of choice are artsy post-metal and avant-garde metal, sludge, doom and drone, but I've been getting into ambient music recently. I don't know that many ambient artists who do strictly ambient, and that's a problem.
Some of these electronic musicians are super-prolific and produce a lot of stuff across a huge range of genres, and I'm really just looking for more ambient stuff to feed my brain.
I'm a big fan of Atrium Carceri ever since I heard his stuff, it's wonderful, and I've always loved Akira Yamaoka's work on the Silent Hill games. But I don't have much of a reference point on this type of music--I know two huge metalheads who give me plenty of metal recommendations, but I really like ambient music.
I just wish I knew more artists!

The king of ambient is Brian Eno.

Off The Sky, any release upto The Geist Cycles
Anders Ilar, Everdom (some incredible ambient tracks on there)
William Basinski (but I think this is considered minimalism), Slow Wave Music and El Camino Real
Give it a shot..

Mum - Summer Make Good
BT - This Binary Universe
Thom Brennan - Vibrant Water
Electrypnose - Subliminal Melancholies
Shulman - Soundscapes and Modern Tales
and I really recommend Digitally Imported Radio - Free Internet Radio Stations | DI.fm 's Chillout and Ambient channels. Especially the chillout channel- A+++ stuff.
also, if you don't know about Rosetta - Galilean Satellites, you're really missing out. Post metal ambient avantgarde stuff.. really, realllly good.
If you check these out and want more suggestions from me, just let me know- it's my pleasure to help you find some new stuff

I've had this Múm album since its initial release, and I was/am hugely disappointed with it. I'm surprised to see them racking up all the votes.
I would add Nest to the list for sure. Visit this page for some downloads and other information.

I own this album and I love it. I also own their other album, Wake/Lift, which is quite possibly the heaviest and most brutal post-metal I've ever heard.

I'm also an "artsy post-metal" and doom/drone fanatic who likes ambient music a lot. 
Brian Eno is definitely the starting point, I think. Thursday Afternoon is my favourite of his ambient work, though Ambient 1 is also essential.
As a fan of the sort of music you mention, you probably know Nadja. However, the creative force there, Aidan Baker, has a lot of guitar loop ambience to his name. I'd suggest "The Sea Swells a Bit" and "Broken & Remade" to start with.
If you know Sunn O))), which you probably do, you should look into stuff by Oren Ambarchi, whom you may know played on Black1. He has many excellent ambient albums. I'd suggest "Suspension" and "Grapes from the Estate" to start with.
As a metal fan you should know Burzum. He has a glorious 25 minute long ambient track on Filosofem. Still one of my favourite songs.
Other suggestions:
William Basinski - The Disintegration Loops I though IV
Sleep Research Facility - Deep Freeze
Experimental Audio Research - Phenomena 256
Experimental Audio Research - Millenium Music
Steve Roach - Structures from Silence
Tetsu Inoue - World Receiver
Peter Namlook - Silence I
