Yep - that was the intention! 'Proper' ambient music is the sort that does absolute squat. When you said "I forgot I had a song playing", that's probably the biggest compliment anyone can pay to an ambient musician - the whole point of the music is to be subconscious. If you think nothing happens in "6am", wait until you hear Matthias Grassow... his ambient works are little more than stagnant drones 
For a full-album ambient piece, "6am" could actually be described as 'short' - "Slow Heat" by Steve Roach is just one continuous load of ambience that plays for over 70 minutes! I find ambient fans prefer the long pieces as it relaxes them and then keeps going, helping them to stay relaxed. Still - not bad for a first effort 
Thanks for your comments

. I've only heard 'An Ending' by Brian Eno and I liked it very much and this definitly follows that style of music. Though I can hear parts building up and exploding with cymbols and guitars in my head
