oh jesus... if I had a dime for every brain cell I've killed over the years 'chilling out' to Floyd's 'Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun'... I'd be rich.

But you wouldn't have enough brain cells to know what to do with the money!

If you're thinking about buying some Zeuhl, I'd suggest a doctor's note at the very least.

hahahha... love Zeuhl.  Even my wife seemed to bear the Dun album... but she runs from the room screaming in terror whenever I put a Magma album on.... oh well... she gave me 3 beautiful kids so I forgive her.

hahahah I thought the same thing when I saw Space Prog at the beginning of his post...no not Hawkwind....  Sonic Attack IS what you use to wake your neighbors up with at 2 in the morning.

Early Porcupine Tree is great... i just got The Sky Moves Sideways and its awesome!

70s Tangerine Dream is terrific for "chilling out." Try Phaedra, Rubycon, Ricochet, Stratosfear, and my fave Force Majeure (somewhat livelier).Cool

 

Anthony Phillips -- The Geese and the Ghost is quite lovely too.

 

"New age" guitarist William Ackerman has some very beautiful stuff too -- his Past Light is very highly recommended (tres relaxing).

Thumbs Up

It certainly is! Voyage 34 is not too shabby either.

    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.
Looking still the same after all these years...

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'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 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
