Excellent Relaxation Albums

A Listmania! list by Silver (UK)
 
Raising Your Voice..Trying To Stop An Echo
1.  Raising Your Voice..Trying To Stop An Echo by Hammock
The list author says:
  "It really is just a joy to listen to, no words will ever do it justice. Beyond brilliant, beyond classification, and I'll never get tired of it."
Used & New from: £15.00

Copia
2.  Copia by Eluvium
The list author says:
  "Another 'relatively simple, yet stunning' album. I picked Copia for the overall balance that it has, but any of his albums will do the job. Verging on perfection."
£9.50   Used & New from: £8.08
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

Dream Signals in Full Circles
3.  Dream Signals in Full Circles by Tristeza
The list author says:
  "Unfairly listenable, generally a similar tone throughout, but each song is distinctly different from the others. A masterclass in band-ambience."
£17.48   Used & New from: £3.99
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Echoes: The Einaudi Collection
4.  Echoes: The Einaudi Collection by Ludovico Einaudi
The list author says:
  "Einaudi's compositions, whilst usually fairly simple, border on being classified as an addictive substance. Proceed with caution!"
£7.49   Used & New from: £6.36
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (48 customer reviews)

Together We're Stranger
5.  Together We're Stranger by No Man
The list author says:
  "Just about nicking into the top 5, a progressive affair that tackles a wide variety of soundscapes - the vocals are incredible. Highly underrated duo."
£5.99
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (16 customer reviews)

Ambient 1: Music For Airports
6.  Ambient 1: Music For Airports by Brian Eno
The list author says:
  "Impeccable album that started off 'ambient music' as a whole. Four tracks, all so different, all so magnificent."
Used & New from: £3.20
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (35 customer reviews)

Things Buried
7.  Things Buried by Richard Barbieri

Submers
8.  Submers by Loscil
The list author says:

Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun
9.  Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
The list author says:
  "They were always going to be on this list. Scandinavian synths and haunting vocals dominate the sound of this band. Arguably the most popular on this list."
£4.99   Used & New from: £2.12
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (81 customer reviews)

Lightdark
10.  Lightdark by Nosound

£10.00   Used & New from: £6.94
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

THE BLUE NOTEBOOKS
11.  THE BLUE NOTEBOOKS by Max Richter
The list author says:
  "Top class. Solo piano for the most part, very sombre tone, amazing despite being liberally 'artsy'!"
£7.08   Used & New from: £4.19
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (7 customer reviews)

Nah Und Fern
12.  Nah Und Fern by Gas
The list author says:
  "Organic soundtrack set to tempered beats and swirling drifts, great price for all four CDs, too."
£23.00   Used & New from: £17.88
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews)

Shenzhou
13.  Shenzhou by Biosphere
The list author says:
  "Either this or Substrata is sublime, at the very peak of minimalistic ambience."
Used & New from: £33.97
3.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)

Molotov and Haze
14.  Molotov and Haze by Steven Wilson
The list author says:
  "A Porcupine Tree side-project, slightly tilted towards drone, but still a well-polished album."
£14.86   Used & New from: £8.50
3.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

The Dark Third
15.  The Dark Third by Pure Reason Revolution

Sakura
16.  Sakura by Susumu Yokota

4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (18 customer reviews)

Beyond Even
17.  Beyond Even by Robert Fripp

Music Has The Right To Children (New Version)
18.  Music Has The Right To Children (New Version) by Boards Of Canada

  "This is probably the best of theirs, very electronica-inspired ambience, instantly recognisable."
£7.49   Used & New from: £5.68
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (62 customer reviews)

Faithful Anchor
19.  Faithful Anchor by Unwed Sailor

And Their Refinement of the Decline
20.  And Their Refinement of the Decline by Stars of the Lid
The list author says:
  "The worst of the list, but that doesn't mean it's bad. A little samey, but highly chilled loops and melodies. Unique sound."
£12.49   Used & New from: £11.21
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (13 customer reviews)
