Songs that are relaxingly cool?

[Red]

I don't know if that makes sense or not, but certain songs put me in a relaxed daze and they sound great to me... here are some examples:

*The Legend Song by Tangerine Dream "Looooved by the Sun"
*Q Lazzarus - Goodbye Horses (off a soundtrack)
*Christopher Robin and I... winnie pooh song

any others that just do it for ya?

If you want really relaxing...Brian Eno's ambient music like Music for Airports. I LOVE that on a cold winter's day and I'm just lounging around...esp. around the holidays.

Any LTJ Bukem (namely progression sessions 4)
The New A Perfect Circle Album (or even the old one for that matter)
Tool - Lateralus
Obviously some Sade stuff... I forget the name of the track, but theres a remix of a song by Ben Watt a.k.a. Lazy Dog.... its a pretty cool track.
The last track on Pearl Jam - vs.
Theres a couple of choice Deftones songs to relax to

Some stuff by The New Deal
