Mezzanine is the gold standard for me, but always good to explore and expand.

My first thought was Explosions in the Sky, nice to see it already listed.

I listen to all these except never heard of Red Sparrows, guess I'll have to check them out

I finally get to my PC, so here's more:

Hammock
Appalaches
Unsigned Char
PG.lost
Bound (more of shoegaze)
Caves of Steel
Youth Pictures of Florence Henderson (more rock-ish, but great)
Coastlands
Distant Dream (more guitar soloing)
El Ten Eleven (more electronic)
El Altar Del Holocausto
Goodbye Earth
I/O
Neil on Impression
Nice Wings, Icarus!
No One Wished To Settle Hereafter
Old Solar
Random Forest
Redjetson
Rhone
Seanné
Sleepmakeswaves
Souls Vibrating in the Universe
This Patch of Sky
Upcdownc

Most of these can be found on Bandcamp. Let me know if you like something.

I don't mix uppers and downers.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Its awesome, especially combining coffee with darkroom red light and chill tunes

[-] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Any of Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works.

[-] Jarlsburg@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

One of the chillest, good vibe albums I have ever listen to blind was Masayoshi Takanaka's - All of me.

The youtube comment that was at the top of the video that I listened to years ago summed up the experience nicely, "No one searches for this album, it finds you when you need it.

Emancipator's album Soon It Will Be Cold Enough is great

[-] Nefara@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I love Emancipator, I've had his albums as my driving music in my car for at least a decade. Safe in the Steep Cliffs is my favorite.

On that vibe, Ondas by Kinack and Days to Come or Black Sands by Bonobo would be suggestions to OP

[-] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

That is an excellent answer.

Green by Hiroshi Yoshimura

[-] Woodstock@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Anything by the sounds providers is my jam. The album with surreal is great, although I do prefer “an evening with the sound providers”.

It’s kinda chill hop but a bit more jazzy.

[-] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

the book about my idle plot on a vague anxiety by toe and standing still in a moving scene by Hyakkei were the first things to come to mind. Most Japanese math rock in general though
