Anything post-rock...
Etc. Etc.
This is a post-rock band I just ... I don't know ... everyone praises them, but songs I've heard did not really convince me. It was somehow very different.
Even more than e.g. Mono and that's Japanese band. And we all know how weird Japan things can be.
I'm with you, unfortunately. Every so often I go back to try again because it feels so much like I should like their stuff, but it just never sticks. Glad that so many people are getting something from it, but I think I'm just not ever going to be one of them
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:
Most of these can be found on Bandcamp. Let me know if you like something.
Definitely 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.
Serious answer: Most Morcheeba albums
Quicker brain answers:
Funkadelic - Maggot Brain (pick one)
Talking Heads - Fear of Music
Lush - Ladykillers
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.
Ulrich Schnauss - Far Away Trains Passing By
Sasha - Airdrawndagger
Com Truise - Persuasion System
Commix - Call to Mind
Ray Lamontagne, Trouble. Massive Attack, Mezzanine. Boards of Canada, Geogaddi. Aphex Twin, Selected Ambient Works Vol. 2. Royksopp, Melody AM.
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
Furniture music is an actual type of music. I personally haven't listened to it. But from descriptions, it seems like background music, elevator music, Muzak, etc.
Bit late, but a few recommendations, some already mentioned:
Then 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.
