KSTJ = LTMOD!
Why have I never noticed that before! Thanks for that John :-)
For what it's worth I always enjoyed the ODC1 remixes of Chill Out for a bit of fun. Only ever saw them as 128k mp3 but they're still online:
As for other good ambient ... this is a MUST-HAVE in my opinion:

"KSTJ" is certainly not "rock" - but it's certainly Pet Shop Boys! (In fact, left to its own devices, it could morph into one of their hits very easily, I think!)
There's also the ambient-ish "Trancentral Mix" of Depeche Mode's "Policy of Truth", which is usually seen as the "other" KLF remix from 1990. Careful, though, the US CD mis-labels the mix, and I think the only CD that actually features it properly is the UK LCDBONG19.
I'd also recommend the Orb/"Orbital" remix of Marathon's "Love Park", which is a LXD and Rockman reworking - although it's a bit more Italian House than proper ambient: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMjl-VqFvJI
As far as other ambient bands are concerned, I am a huge Boards of Canada fan - a duo that have a similar air of mystery and vociferous internet following to the KLF. Start with their "proper" debut 'Music Has The Right To Children'. But be careful of anything that claims to be by them from before 1996 (early EPs, etc.) They tend to be internet fakes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exnbfHq2P1c
