Right now its Noah & The Whale - The First Days of Spring

Was leant it and didn't really expect much, but it's a beautiful song and the rest of the album is equally good, take a look on Spotify.

I have quite a few, perfect for either playing when drifting off, or just in the background

First up a mix between Moby and UNKLE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOMZyIsdT0g

Air- All i need
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkgfmWfJ11s

Sigur Ros - Hoppípolla (the original, although i like the Chicane version, this is more chill out)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4L_DQKCDgeM

Chicane - Autumn Tactics
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QREjhqwAJC8

Aphex Twin/David Bowie- Heros
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjBcNU1UZUs

BT- Running down the way up
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yny_vtiDn_k

It's probably be best to make a youtube playlist of all the tracks mentioned, and just let them play away in a browser window.

Younger Brother - Ribbon on a branch

or pretty much anything by OTT - the albums Skylon & Hallucinogen In Dub are truly great - check out Smoked Glass & Chrome for an uplifting chilled type thingy.

Some great songs posted already, some I havn't heard before and some I havn't listend to in ages.

I find most Boards of Canada songs to be good, although my favorite is this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lEsLcGB7Vo&NR=...
Also most stuff by God is an Astronaut is great.

Some of the Battlestar Galactica (remake) soundtrack is also prety relaxing.
