Explosions in the sky - The earth is not a cold dead place

Arve Henriksen - Chiaroscuro

Bark Psychosis - Hex

Philip Glass - Koyaaniskatsi

Some Wakeman and Schulze projects, Eno's ambient albums of course, sometimes, some post rock, Deuter (relaxation), Ashra/Gottsching, some TD, etc...
 
EDIT: how could I forget Popol Vuh, and of course, all the EG label artists!

Mother focus. However when I want to relax I listen to Oscar Peterson.

This is easy. Gilmour's On An Island. That sucker had me snoring inside 2 minutes. The only problem is I was working at the time.

Mike Oldfield - Ommadawn is excellent, also Tubular Bells and Hergest Ridge.
Tangerine Dream - Rubycon, Logos, Poland
Radiohead - OK Computer, Kid A
Bo Hannson - Lord of the Rings, Magician's Hat, Attic Thoughts
Popul Vuh - Aguirre... almost anything by these guys!
Philip Glass - Koyaanisqatsi (also a great film!)

As a practicioner of falling asleep to it, I would definitely recommend Takk... or ( ) by Sigur Ros, and from what I've heard of Tangerine Dream, that's a safe bet too.

You also might want to check out Chroma Key. It's soft, ambient, relazing type music. It's kind of like DT's space dye-vest made a band

Some Vangelis would be nice too, maybe "Oceanic" (a bit too relaxing and yanni like at times though, the openers brilliant) or "Soundtrack to Antarctica"
 
"Dark Side of the Moog" stuff would be good too

    I think that most Brian Eno albums would be good for ambient music, particularly Another Green World and Ambient Music. Also every song on Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother except the title track and Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast(although it's pretty ambient too), meaning If, Summer '68, and Fat Old Sun. A Pillow of Winds and Fearless on Meddle are quite good as well. That's about it really, in my opinion. Most prog rock I know is not really quiet and mellow.
