I would normally turn to post-rock:

This will destroy you- This World Is Our ____
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYsbZbAKnAg


We Vs. Death- One Light Will Do
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1XV7j1Dq7s

I prefer post-rock especially when I'm reading because of the lack of words.

[UrbanRats]

Love that one.

I also suggest:
Do say make think - A tender history in rust.

-
Valley of the Giants':

Whaling tale.
Balabay inn.
Westworld.

-
Shalabi Effect - On the Bowery.

-
You could also go with some pieces from the BRAID ost (they are not original songs, but it's easier to link them this way.
Lullaby Set
Downstream
Maenam
-
And since we're talking games' OSTs, Machinarium it's good too, for relaxing:
Glass Garden
By the wall

-
Which in a way, reminded me about:

Bonobo - Animals.
Bonobo - Black Sands.

-
FourTet - Cradle
FourTet - Unspoken

[outunderthestars]

My favorite chill record ever...

 

[Gospel]

So today i discovered Grantby. It doesn't take much for a really good song to take me to one of those higher levels but today it just went so much farther than that.

It started with It's Coming, perfect track name and all.

And then escalated with The Shining. And Timber, too

Just sort of slowly curling my way up some of these amazing tracks and i'm kind of at this point so early in the day where i don't want to do anything else but listen to music.

 

[Bowflex]

+ a mug of tea, my warm robe, and comfy slippers.

 

[AcridMeat]

Hell yes, Boards of Canada. Not sure if it entirely counts but Com Truise and Kuedo. Also Orbital. IIRC Tipper has some pretty good relaxing music.

 

[Kerub]

Vibrasphere is my favourite artist for relaxing.

Tierra Azul

[Myriadis]

Whenever I want to chill/relax I fire up this station on my iPad or Apple TV or whatever:

http://www.radioparadise.com/

It has a brilliant mix of genres from different eras.

High five, one of my favorite Radio Stations.

To chill, I also like to listen to various songs from Zero 7,mainly the first two albums.

And Tor - Sunday Session

My favorite Mixtape. Its free of course, so get it. Beautiful Melodies.

 

[Kerub]

Wow, Zero 7 sounds awesome.

I love that voice!

 

[AcridMeat]

Tycho released their new album, Dive recently. Great stuff you come to expect from the guy.

Tycho - A Walk

 

[Sol..]

Wow, Zero 7 sounds awesome.

I love that voice!

lol which one? a lot of people sing for them.

but on that note i stumbled into a group the other day that's like everything I wish zero 7 would have been if they didn't dive too far into folk then back out into something weird.

The Beauty Room "Holding On"

 

[jon bones]

BADBADNOTGOOD is basically jazz over old school hip hop drums. it's god-tier stuff.

 

[Danielsan]

BADBADNOTGOOD is basically jazz over old school hip hop drums. it's god-tier stuff.

The first song I found from them on youtube is Zelda based. What the hell?
Sounds good though.

Edit: Scratch that. When Song of Storms kicks in. So fucking amazing.

Uhm idk. I listened to "Destiny"! ^^

 

[overcast]

Neon Indian is a great band to chill to.

 

[EYEL1NER]

ctrl + f "Lovage"
Wow, I am disappointed. Lovage is perfect chill music. 'Stroker Ace' is relaxing as shit! 'To Catch a Thief' and 'Lifeboat' are both pretty relaxing too.

Two songs I love to chill to, just roll my windows down, relax, soak in the night air, and cruise to, are Deftones 'Passenger (w/ Maynard James Keenan)' and their cover of Duran Duran's 'The Chauffeur.'
Not too big a Deftones fan, but these songs just do it for me.

 

[dominuece]

Superior thread.

 

[Bgamer90]

Letherette:

"Langsette"

"Ting Tang"

"Krisstalise"

"Bibio- Lovers' Carvings (Letherette Remix)"

"Solar Bears- Crystalline (Letherette Remix)"


Everyone that I've introduced Letherette to have become big fans of their tracks.

also, to add:

Balam Acab - Wander/Wonder


i'm sure quite a few of you have heard this before but man I've gotten addicted to this album. I'm usually not a fan of chipmunk vocals but I honestly don't mind it here. it's great headphone music, imo.

DT fan but I hated this album. Ki is so much better and more mellow.

I like both. *shrug*

I just posted Ghost instead of Ki because it was the most recent.

Here's some chill songs I like from Ki:
Terminal

I just think he made WAY too many albums in a short amount of time. I'll wait for his new Ziltoid album, but my anticipation for DT projects have diminished greatly. I used to get so excited - I miss that excitement.

 

[Sol..]

Uhm idk. I listened to "Destiny"! ^^

ah that would be Sia...she is my queen.

 

[Atramental]

I'm a fairly recent DT convert so all of his work is pretty much new to me. That's probably why I'm not too put off by all these new releases. haha.

 

[teruterubozu]

Here's my relaxation formula:



Blade Runner Blues + Rainy Mood + Glass of wine

 

[buttonsmasher]

TOKiMONSTA - Midnight Menu ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3XJsf96nfo - Gamble)

Blockhead - Uncle Tony's Coloring Book ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3oICsFEySE - The Strain)

I really like the MF Doom special herb series, too.

Great for browsing the internet.

Yep.
