Ive just checked out Belbury Poly (when I looked up Ghost Box records). Really cool stuff, I love ambient electronica when it's done well. It reminds me of Zombi but without the bass line: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRrULd9aOQk

Ableton's a good program. I can't play, but if I could I'd use it. Far more fun than Cubase. Reason is a good add on package through re-wire if you like soft synths.

Had a listen to Zombi......are they comtemporary?.....reminds me a bit of tangerine dream.....

Have thought about getting Reason as I like the fact it all there in one place...sequencer, synths FX....very tidy.......But I have got really used to just Ableton....The constrictions of using just one program are probably a good thing for me as I already get a bit lost along the way........my laptops getting slow too.....

Most of the stuff I do with Ableton doesn't involve actual 'playing' of an instrument as such. I really shoud expand my knowledege of musical theory. I really like the way that music is just a system with rules and patterens. Although I can't help thinking that the current musical notation system is probably not the most logical as it is tied to its historical evolution...... I am probably just making excuses as to why I am not an amazing piano player........
