anything by Thom Brennan is unreal and brilliant, especially vibrant water album, i played it one day at 7pm and i felt asleep during 20 minutes, so useless to say it's extremely relaxing music, not psychedelic though.

http://ip23.dyn181.pacific.net.hk/18039.m3u

http://ip23.dyn181.pacific.net.hk/18042.m3u

http://ip23.dyn181.pacific.net.hk/18043.m3u

 

i think i made myself clear enough now!

 

(too bad the samples are in mono, because the stereowaves and production are awesome!)

 

GET THIS! You will not regret! It's one long continuous journey and i'm sure it will be one of the finest trips to wonderfull places you have ever had! , beats Shpongle / other psychill acts, anytime!

This is REAL ambient!.. also check out DP's review on this one:

If you're up for something a bit more adventurous:

 

Michael Stearns - Planetary Unfolding (1981)

 

It's old but it's awesome alright...and sort of psychedelic as well. Good for headphones listening in bed, of course B) For me it was a very special experience.

(ps you probably need to d/l this)

Asura - Lost Eden

 

Healer - Wonderground

 

Aes Dana - Season 5

 

Der Sypra - seeds

 

and of course

 

Woob - 1194 and 4495 (tho I doubt you'll be able to find either on CD)

 

some Prem Joshua stuff as well but only individual trax since a lot of his work is probably too 'fast' for chill....but some of his trax that u'll probably really like:

Prem Joshua - Lahore Connection

Prem Joshua - Secret Place

Prem Joshua - Nanak

(the last two trax are off of his album "dance of shakti")

How can somebody recommend HUVA Network? :huh:

I'm just listening to it (giving it it's prob 5th chance)

It's just boring all the way down ;<

Nothing happens...I'd prob like it if it'd be beatless but no, it has beats and it's way too agressive... but the aggressivity isn't something that's made well... it's predictable, non-touching, repetitive... pretty much music with no soul :e

 

sorry for off-topic

hehé :) actually when I wrote that comment it indeed was a middle of the night :)

The problem I see here is that it doesn't work in the background cause it's too aggressive, and it can't be listened cause it's not intelligent enough...

If I want background music I will choose f.ex. sasha, global communication, ishq, vangelis, biosphere... like that... there's some really well made stuff for background, or even for listening! :)

You like HUVA and that's nice but everything is just not for everyone :)
