It is a very ambient album.

It's electronica and keys for the most part and Phill Collins is on drums in places.
Reminds me of Vangelis or Wakeman type projects....definitely fits the OP's genre request.
Dave Greenslade The Pentateuch Of The Cosmogony album cover

It also fits because I mentioned it in my opening post!  But seriously it would be really cool to find another album like this that doubles as an art book.

"Rockpommels Land" by Grobschnitt should be up your alley.

Felona E Sorona by Le Orme tells the tale of star-crossed lovers living on two planets caught in some kind of equal but opposite revolution around the sun. One is always in the light and is a happy place while the other is always in the dark and is sad, but they switch halfway through the album, and then I think they switch back at the end. That's my understanding of it anyway, my Italian is pretty bad. The cover art is gorgeous but sadly I don't have a physical copy to see about any other art.
Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Ha, I just picked up their two most popular (according to PA) albums! Did you see my thread or were you just also listening by coincidence? Smile

I saw your thread, then this one, then realized FeS might be a decent rec for this one as well. So semi-coincidence, lol. I do love Le Orme.
