Some great ones there! I know what you mean with Il Paese dei Balocchi, it has its moments of intensity but you can really lose yourself in that album. For those who like the last two Talk Talk albums, the self-titled album by Mark Hollis is also really good, and maybe (even) more chillable. I want to add a few suggestions: Luciano Cilio - Dell'Universo Assente Hugo Largo - Drum Fibreforms - Treedrums Laurent Thibault - Mais on ne peut pas rever tout le temps Tape - Luminarium (or any of their albums actually; great band!) Tiny Island - s/t (a Norwegian acoustic band with the most melancholy sound and lovely use of the Hawaiian guitar) Cowboy Junkies - The Trinity Session John Fahey - The Yellow Princess
|
I completely forgot about this thread, which is a shame. Chill music is needed when the world goes berserk.
But thanks! I only know a couple of those you listed - I actually thought about that Thibault offering as well, so I'm pleased to see you mentioning it. Definitely going to look into the others. Tiny Island sounds interesting.
I see I missed a few obvious albums in my previous post, so here goes:
FSOL - Lifeforms Witthüser & Westrupp - Trips und Träume Porcupine Tree - Transmission IV Gas - Pop Dashiell Hedayat - Obsolete (Basically a Gong album) Primal Scream - Screamadelica Steve Miller Band - Children of the Future Massive Attack - 100th Window

A very effective therapy I have used whenever I am rather stressed is to put Shine on you Crazy Dimaon (complete all 9 parts)... by the end of the listening I'm much calmer. I guess if I have enough time, hearing the whole WYWH album would work just as fine. From Floyd, I guess the last album, TER, would work beatifully as well. Also, any of the first 4 Mike Oldfield albums. And from Harmonium particularly the song Histoires Sans Paroles. I guess I could also add Edison's Children "Final Breath before November".

Nice to see some more appreciation for Deadmau5, he's definitely one of the more creative electronic artists in recent years  |
The mau5 was my favourite artist from the 00's for a long time |
So, is Deadmou5 really good? I have known about him because of my brother in law, whe seems to really like him a lot. He has loved electronic music since I know him, but has never been into prog at all. I heard something from deadmou5 the he at some point showed me, and it was interesting, but left it in the check out later department, which may never come, since I have never really been a huge fan of electronic music (usually too much ambience and not so much melody... or if it goes into disco / danceable territory, even worse). But if some fellow proggers are giving him the nod, I guess I could ask him to show me some music from the Mou5.

Yep! I'd agree with the Orb and Aphex Twin. Along with FSOL, Global Communication, Pete Namlook etc etc I don't really 'chill' to many prog rock albums, although The Lamb by Genesis and Rubycon by Tangerine Dream do the trick.
