It's been a while since we had a relaxing music thread, and we usually have 2 a year, because there's always some fantastic chill-out/relaxing music that comes out every 6 months that we must post about. So start posting any ass kicking new tracks you have heard, including a few of the awesome old one's we shall remember. Anyway, here are the past 4 "editions" we have.

Edition 1 - http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?t=106676&highlight=relaxing
Edition 2 - http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?t=117162&highlight=relaxing
Edition 3 - http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?t=128698&highlight=relaxing
Edition 4 - http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?t=134595&highlight=relaxing

So let me begin:

Porcupine Tree - Every Home is Wired
http://www.last.fm/music/Porcupine+Tree/_/Every+Home+Is+Wired
Dreamy Music to the Maximum..

Blackfield - Pain
http://www.seeqpod.net/search/?plid=2e36facdb2
One of the most beautiful choruses I have ever heard

Zero 7 - Destiny
http://www.seeqpod.net/search/?plid=587a93e48b
**** YES. WOWOWOWOWWOW..my favourite tune now

Mute Math - Peculiar People
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNEc7-BMnHg&feature=related
Don't mind the stupid video, great song by a great band

INXS - Afterglow
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BwL_13enB8
Beautiful song..

BOC - Macquarie Ridge
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl79r2npdpg

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufEpPWxdGMA
Great song, great guitars, fantastic Vocals

God is an Astronaut - Infinite Horizons
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvloMFBffn4
Love this band..you can almost cry to the beauty of this song..

Keane - Bedshaped
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYnb27C62nU
I don't care what people say, this song is ****ing awesome

Imogen Heap - Can't take it in
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iPkdl6qdZs
Another awesome song with great vocals. New age music is the best

Enya - Adiemus
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXpulL9ZXGU
No words to describe this song

Can't think of any more for now..just the new stuff I have heard recently. Give them a listen, all are great songs, especially if you like very "dreamy" and epic sounding relaxing music.

Post away yours..
 
props for enya. Other than that, I know of no relaxing music.

besides SML of course, but you're all tired of hearing that from me.
 
Dj Krush and Toshinori Kondo - Ki-Oku is my favourite chill album
 
I have to say, some EITS music just blows me completely away.

Your Hand In Mine is possibly one of the greatest songs to chill to, I just completely stuns me every time. Such music ecstacy.
 
Junkie XL-Clash

or

Junkie XL-Breezer

how about

Junkie XL-Beauty Never Fades
 
Explosions in the Sky

Brian Eno
Sigur Ros
Shpongle
Yo La Tengo
Thom Yorke
Shulman
Bluetech
The Shins
Pole
The Field
Peace Orchestra
Orbital

No relaxing music thread is complete without Air. La Femme d'Argent is their best chill-out track imho:
Kick-ass live version
The opening track for their last album is very good as well:
Space Maker

EDIT Totally forgot. The new Goldfrapp album is great too. Some up-tempo songs, but the general mood is relaxing. The opening track for the album is a very mellow one:
Clowns
 
Aerosmith - Sedona Sunrise (there's no real video of it, this was dubbed over the video for "Jaded.")
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu5I5JSZuZA&feature=related

Van Halen - Feels so Good
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQ-5nwt-j9E&feature=related

Jackyl - Secret of The Bottle (Couldn't find a better video... sorry)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxK9xWYo6xA

Van Halen - Cabo Wabo (Get through "You Really Got Me" and this is the only version i could find, and in my opinion is the best version.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iDDlbudods

Aerosmith - Sweet Emotion
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTzn-0I916s

Aerosmith - Pink
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLRLhV9U0kQ

Van Halen - Poundcake (Get a beer, crank this thing up, and get ready to jam... or jerk, if you're into that. Just close your eyes and listen close to the guitar, and you'll know why I think this is relaxing.)

I like listening to it at work, it helps drown out all the idiots.
