Looking for chill prog, both classic and modern. Examples include Pink Floyd, Devin Townsend's Ghost, etc.
I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)

Check out my music on my bandcamp!

Does Steve Hillage's Rainbow Dome Musick count?

Check out 
Camel - The Snow Goose
Celeste - Principe Di Un Giorno
Harmonium - L'Heptade XL  (Any of their albums work honestly, my favorite is Les Cinq Saison)

Pulsar’s first album Pollen. Actually, Pulsar overall - try the tracks Pollen, Window, and much of Halloween.

Anthony Phillips - Wise After the Event always chills me out. If you like (vocal) songs built around layers of acoustic guitars.

Djam Karet - Suspension & Displacement. This is more on the ambient music side, less song-based, but if that’s appetizing, this is one of the best of its class.

Camel & Caravan - most anything by either band is a guaranteed mellow smile in waiting.

Laurent Thibault - Mais on ne Peut pas Rever tout le Temps : he played bass on and produced Magma’s first album, but this is tranquil and beautiful stuff.

^Actually whole swaths of Djam Karet's discography would qualify as chill prog. I love the last 2 albums Sonic Celluloid and Sky Full of Stars for a Roof. Heavy Soul Sessions is pretty sweet too. They are a band that I was late to the party on. Only one album >4 stars. Criminally under appreciated.

Yeah seconding recs of Camel, Caravan, and Harmonium. Also, can't go wrong with any Steely Dan album or Chicago's first 5 (or 7) albums.
