14Dummy is a great record to chill out to.

Massive Attack - Protection (Trip Hop from 1994)
13I live the mezzanine album but never listened to this one. Will do, thanks for the reccomendation
6Mezzanine is the gold standard for me, but always good to explore and expand.

Anything post-rock...
- God is an astronaut
- Red Sparowes
- Mogwai
- Sigur Ros
- Explosions in the sky
Etc. Etc.
11begins relaxing to Godspeed You! Black Emperor
8My 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
5I 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
- We Deserve This
- The End of the Ocean
- DiEgita
Most of these can be found on Bandcamp. Let me know if you like something.
3Definitely do. They have quite distinct sound due to usage of lap steel guitar. I like it a lot.
I'll check my collection for more bands like this if you'd like.

Take Five - Dave Brubeck
10Air - Moon Safari. The father of chill downtempo music.
10Debussy la mer
9I don't mix uppers and downers.
8Its awesome, especially combining coffee with darkroom red light and chill tunes

Serious answer: Most Morcheeba albums
Quicker brain answers:
Funkadelic - Maggot Brain (pick one)
Talking Heads - Fear of Music
Lush - Ladykillers8Somafm groove salad
8Any of Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works.
7One 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.
7Emancipator's album Soon It Will Be Cold Enough is great
6I 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
5That is an excellent answer.

Ulrich Schnauss - Far Away Trains Passing By
Sasha - Airdrawndagger
Com Truise - Persuasion System
Commix - Call to Mind
6Moondog's album "Sax Pax for a Sax"
6Ray Lamontagne, Trouble. Massive Attack, Mezzanine. Boards of Canada, Geogaddi. Aphex Twin, Selected Ambient Works Vol. 2. Royksopp, Melody AM.
6Bit late, but a few recommendations, some already mentioned:
- Massive Attack - Blue Lines
- Lemon Jelly - lemonjelly.ky
- Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
- John Coltrane - Blue Train
- Angelo Badalamenti - Twin Peaks OST and Fire Walk With Me OST
- Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
5If you have Coltrane in there, I must mention "A love supreme"
2Then I really must listen to it!
I really only know Blue Train, but I absolutely love it. Will get A Love Supreme on sharpish, thanks for the recommendation.

Brian Eno - Music for Airports
5Fourplay
by Fourplay5Slowerpace - Barbershop Simulator
4Tool
4Boards of Canada: Music has the right to Children or Geogaddi.
4Air - Talkie Walkie
4Kiasmos - Kiasmos
4Someones a little full of themselves (kiasmos) lol
1lol. Self-titled albums are pretty common!
Even the Beatles did it!

4Max Richter - The Blue Notebooks
Arvo Pärt - Portrait (Angèle Dubeau, La Pietà 2010) (or anything really)4Insect Warfare - World Extermination
3the 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
3Anything 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.
3Thievery Corporation - Saudade
3Radio Free Fedi comfy channel
3Radio Free Fedi is a fantastic service! Love it!!
2Man, RFF and Pixelfed are literally the best things on the internet right now! I think RFF is basically one disabled guy in New Zealand who is not massively techy, holding the whole thing up for us. I've been thinking of volunteering in some capacity. It almost takes me back to my childhood, where every song meant something to me. Proper real music.

Ott: Skylon
3Killer instinct OST album but Mick Gordon.
3Green by Hiroshi Yoshimura
3Coffee
2I listened to this album of lieder by my favourite tenor today.
2For a calm vibe: Ghibli coffee shop
For a happy noggin: Nintendo frutiger aero chill mix
2Something Takashi Kokubo
2Past Lives by Doombird is nice background music. Not too deep, but pleasant.
2Effloresce by Covet
Newborn Sun by Chon
2virga by tipper
2Some might come here and answer your question based on their tastes and what-not. None of them are off-base, however none of them are right. The answer to your question lies behind this link right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuIcT-u2Dmo
2The album Fisherman's Woman by Emiliana Torrini.
2Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy
2Yes, nice and chill lol
I'll add to this:
Aphex Twin - Rubber Johnny

Long Arm - The Branches. Full Album.
2Can't go wrong with anything jazz
2I'm surprised no one else has mentioned Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd...
2I wrote Pink Floyd off after Roger Waters supported Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.
2The rest of the band doesn't share his sentiment. Also, he's pretty anti-war, so I don't think he outright supports Russia.

La Comitiva
2Skiptracing by Mild High Club
2Katharsis - VVorld VVithout End
2Uncultured seeming option, but I nevertheless use it often to read and like it: Lo-fi beats to relax and study to playlist.
