Marconi Union's "Weightless" was what got me into the genre. There was scientific testing done on it that proved the song lowered anxiety immensely for the listener. (You can Google it for more info.)
From there I'd suggest checking out a classic standard like Brian Eno's "Music For Airports."

Aphex Twin is really popular but for me they are hit and miss from track to track.
My favorite kind of ambient is loop based, making my favorite album(s) of all-time:
William Basinski's "Disintegration Loops I-IV" - the tracks are repetitive but I swear they take me to another dimension.
The genre is sooo broad. I didn't get "into" the genre on purpose.....I just found one thing I liked and then did some research to find others that were like it and the next thing I knew I was down a rabbit hole and a fan.
Oh, and as long as I'm giving suggestions......the ambient music I produce is under the name Plastic Clouds.
