I need more calming music to add to my library for when doing artsy fartsy stuff. I'd like nearly anything so long as it's calm and preferably no vocal track. Obviously slow tempo will be most fitting. "Clubbed to Death" by Rob D. kinda works and doesn't, just thought I might throw that out there. Instrumentals are noice. For example:

I wouldn't really listen to like Metallica's "Orion" or other instrumentals like that. But I'm not just looking for instrumentals.
Anything else interesting you guys wanna share is cool.

Thanks.

Calming and relaxing are pretty much synonymous, no?

This might be a little fast for what you want, but I find it very calming. Try it out.

What KEN said.

Oh and I'm too lazy to copy/paste my recommendations from that thread, so you'll just have to read it yourself

Charlie McMahon's didgeridoo playing is awesome to relax to.

His 'band' is Gondwanaland. Look for some of their stuff.

And the post-rock genre in general. In this past week, I've been listening to Fuck Buttons and Russian Circles. Both are more aggressive then Mogwai, but I think they work well as ambiance, others may not.

Earlier tonight, actually, while watching Top Gear I heard Ludovico Einaudi - Andare (I link to it because you need to do it justice and listen to the HQ version) and proceeded to find as much of this composer as I could. Very beautiful, emotional, and usable for ambiance.
