Perhaps some Vangelis, 1492 and El Greco are my favourites. There's hardly any vocals, but the soundscapes are brilliant at their best.

Sigur Ros, Harmonium, Mew, AIR. From the other nominations I support Camel (Snow Goose especially) and Oldfield (Ommadown) and Talk Talk (Spirit Of Eden).

Jade Warrior had an album titled "Kites". issued on eclectic label in 2006. Also on The Elements anthology which included the other 3 titles from their most progressive years as well. Kites is to me, is their most adventurous effort and their most timeless. It features a Japanese girls choir along with string quartet. It's very dreamy and soothing to the ear.
Mike Oldfield's Incantations creates the atmosphere that you are searching for but is more rhythmical like Phillip Glass.
Kada Estra would be a good choice. Constellations is beautiful. Eve is my favorite. Heesha Bailey is one of the greatest vocalists today. Her voice is melodic and errie. She creates soundscapes with harmonies that draw you into a unique mind set. Richard Wileman is a brilliant composer. You can accomplish escapism through his pieces. Weird Tales is the new release and it's much darker than the 2 mentioned above.

To be honest, Camel. Their debut features parts that would easily suit in a Heavy Prog album but are played with such mellowness and tranquility that no matter how hard it will be you will always be able to sleep to the sounds of it.

I have been listening to a lot of no-man lately and I am wanting some new stuff to listen to-perhaps something with good soundscapes, beautiful vocal harmonies, etc. Anything I can chill to. Any suggestions?
