===2000s=== In the early 2000s, [[trance music]] was an offshoot of some [[psychedelic ambient]] productions. Established in France in 2001, [[Ultimae]] has become the go-to label for space ambient, and they included artists such as [[Carbon Based Lifeforms]]. A number of [[Klang (Stockhausen)|Stockhausen]]'s later compositions (not all of them electronic music) feature ambient space music as their theme: The so-called "[[The Urantia Book|Urantia]]" subcycle of ''[[Klang (Stockhausen)|Klang]]'' (Sound, 2006β2007), extending from its thirteenth "hour", ''[[Klang (Stockhausen)#Thirteenth Hour: Cosmic Pulses|Cosmic Pulses]]'' to its twenty-first "hour" ''[[Klang (Stockhausen)#Twenty-first Hour: Paradies|Paradies]]''.<ref>Clements, Andrew.
