I second Jimbo's recommendation of Ere G as being of a similar nature to Harmonium. Definitely worth a listen. I'd also throw in to this thread - for your general consideration.....

You should try Ere G's Au-delŕ des Ombres. It's not as good (obviously), but it's pretty similar to Harmonium. |

It was mentioned before, but Harmonium's album "Si on avait besoin d'une cinqueme saison" is one of the best mellow prog-folk albums ever.

Yay, someone finally mentioned Gryphon(although I was thinking "raindances"). I don't know "midnight mushrumps" though so I'll add it to my list. ;) I'm surprised no one has mentioned Camel's "harbour of tears" cd. I find snowgoose and even dust and dreams to be too uplifting although admittedly they both have mellow moments and are both great albums(both in at least my top twenty of all time too :)) . A big thank you to all of those who recommended albums. Quite honestly I'm not sure where some of you were coming from with some of these recommendations but the rest of you can pat yourselves on the back. O.K. All of you can pat yourselves on the back. At least you made the effort right? |

I find Electronic Prog like Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze to be very mellow and beautiful. I love post rock and especially GY!BE, but I find it far to emotional and powerful to 'chill' to, as it makes me feel like I want to convulse in musical ecstasy on the climaxes of their songs. For the Klaus Schulse, try Timewind, though. It's beautiful

I'll third the Bo Hanson LotR and add Music From Watership down. Another vote from me for The Snow Goose by Camel. To me Barclay James Harvest on thier Octoberon lp is proggressive light rock. Somestimes it kinda jams but overall its subtle and muted.

I don't know if I'd call it prog or not, but Kevin Moore's last Chroma
Key album is some really great mellow stuff....GRAVEYARD MOUNTAIN HOME.

I agree Canterbury is good. Cetainly HATFIELD AND THE NORTH , Rotters Club in particular. Better By Far from 77 by CARAVAN is nice [ despite the fact that Reviewers here have not been kind to it] and Modern Masquerades by FRUUPP also fits your requirements,but not so much their earlier releases--- offered for what its worth. Enjoy.
