Pretty much anything by Mono, this is a good song but alas I can only find a live version.

And of course the whole of the Sigur Ros back catalog

Groove Armada - Edge Hill
Wait for the strings. Goosebump business.

Eluvium - Genius and the Thieves
Nice second breakdown on this one.

Ah, Eingya. I think it's probably my favourite album of all time. Equal balance of bliss and perfection - album cover's awesome, too.

Nice Ennio Morriconie track.

Cheeriest song ever made!

These two tracks are quite simply amazing, just think they are nearly 30yrs old and they still hold amazing listening pleasure.

Also some of my faves are:

Michael Whalen - I Have Loved You For a Thousand Lifetimes
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_bLWTybNxCs

Brian Eno - Music For Airports

Takagi Masakatsu - Journal For People

Just to say - this link is for the best tune off the above album. I first heard it at the beginning of 2006. I used it for a little film and, for some reason, ever since then, I have to stop myself from listening to it. Almost as if it's sacred; that to listen to it as-and-when is somehow disrespectful. I get the chills, the welling up, it's weird. There aren't many things that affect me like this, but this particular tune is one of the main ones. Strange what music can do to you eh?

Kenji Kawai - Miscellaneous soundtracks for Oshii films.

If you've seen Ghost In The Shell or Innocence, you'll recognise his particular style: utterly haunting yet soothing and beautiful. Perhaps less well known is his work on the Patlabor films. As with the Takagi Masakatsu track linked above, this particular link (below) is to a tune that i hold a special place for. It's from the film Patlabor 2:

Bob Ohrum. Please, please check this guy out. Unbelievable that he's not signed:

Cheers for the heads up on Helios btw, really calming stuff.

@Wensley - wicked thread mate. (edit: )

If you're into tribal house, I'd suggest going here for some music thats been made from the heart and takes you onto some other level. makes me feel like im in a desert or somthin

Bob Ohrum does the same type of music I prefer to make, Drone music. I like his stuff.

got a link to any of your stuff?

I always associate drone with all that Southern Lord stuff: Earth, Om, Sunn O))) etc. Actually, as far as beautiful music goes, I'd say the most recent Earth album is pretty apt:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcLic3qg-90

Sunn O))) could hardly be called 'beautiful', but there's a tune of theirs on the White Album called 'A Shaving Of The Horn That Speared You' that might qualify in some twisted way.

I did have stuff up until a few months ago before my external drive decided to erase it's self!

You should check out somafm.com - I like to listen to Drone Zone, the best radio station is Cryosleep @ http://bluemars.org
