I'm surprised The Tea Club's first album hasn't been mentioned yet. One track in particular, called "Will O' the Wisp," sounds to me like the epitome of autumn. There's an MP3 sample of it here on PA, if you're interested.
Also worth mentioning is Big Big Train's album Gathering Speed. Here's an excerpt:
"I am the one who crossed through space...or stayed where I was...or didn't exist in the first place...."

What about Cat Stevens Tea for the tillerman and The Moodie Blues to our children's children's? I love to listen to these albums when it's fall, such a Spleen

It's still autumn so I'll offer my suggestions
You could try "Spectral Mornings" by Steve Hackett, "Si on Avait..." by Harmonium, "Ommadawn" by Mike Oldfield, "Gentle Giant" by Gentle Giant, "Trespass" by Genesis...

Porcupine Tree's Up the Downstair has this sort of vibe, I feel like. I also know you like electronic music, which this album is somewhat influenced by.

Nobody is mentioning Strawbs. Why is nobody mentioning Strawbs? Grave New World, Hero and Heroine and Ghosts are some of the most autumnal albums I own. (They even have a song called Autumn!)
yeah and the album it's from. "Hero and Heroine", is like putting Autumn on a platter. No brainer, with chilling songs like "Sad Young Man". Even "Shine on Silver Sun" has a delightful shiver to it, and "Midnight Sun" is another great seasonal tune. Did I mention "Out in the Cold"?

Disregard the Pentacle suggestion, the band's atrocious. I spent a small fortune when I was younger (about 80, 90 dollars) for that album and absolutelly hated it, as did every member of my family who like progressive rock (four people), so I had to re-sell it for less than one third of what I spent on it.
Do not buy their album.
I didn't notice the Pentacle suggestion, just the Pentangle one. I rather like the Pentacle album, but much prefer The Pentangle.

I like the Pentacle alot, but not sure it's what the poster is looking for anyway. Actually that Pentacle album is one of the few "French theatrical school" albums I can stomach. I think it was produced by the guy from Ange, but for me is much more palatable than Ange

Speaking of French theatrical prog, though it isn't the kind of autumnal prog that Alan is looking for, Halloween is coming up which is a good time for some Arachnoid.
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.
