Do you by any chance know Cochin Moon, Michael? Hosono later went on to form and spearhead Yellow Magic Orchestra, but this one features those same curious and fidgety electronics only in an embryonic state. I think I prefer it over anything that came after actually.

Not sure I would call it to be one to chill out to. I find a great deal of intensity on that one. Sometimes I just get up and play air drums, air guitar, and air harmonica when I listen to "Desire". |
My best friend once described the album as a visit to an opium den  I rather agree with him. Lots of intensity though, but you get as much of that on any of the aforementioned Popol Vuh albums, only conveyed in a completely different manner. I understand where you're coming from though

No I don't, Dave, thanks for the tip-off, will look into it. I only have the first two or three YMO albums, which I seemed to think I really dug when I got them probably over fifteen years ago, but I haven't listened to them since then!

I've had a similar experience with my YMO records - only I think it's because I've become so fond of Cochin Moon that I forget to listen to them.

One that comes to mind is Kraftwerk's Autobahn. After a long day, and if I'm sitting in a favorite chair, I usually wake up 20 minutes later in time for the ending.

Nice to see some more appreciation for Deadmau5, he's definitely one of the more creative electronic artists in recent years

recently got into Gilgamesh's 2nd album That's Another Fine Tune You've Got Me Into, probably the most chilled out example of 70s prog I can think of. The For Carnation's self titled album is very understated and mellow, but still has a dark edge. check the tracks Snoother and Moonbeams...

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
