DJ Shadow’s Endtroducing for me. One of the few multi format albums I own that I’ve had to replace several times cos I’ve worn it out. Freaks me out that it’s nearly 30 years old, it blew my mind then and it still does now. A masterpiece of a sonic journey.

I drove 400 miles to see him DJ. Got realy high then kinda drive home 400 miles. The good old days of 1996.

1. Air - Moon Safari

2. Spiritualized - Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space

Echo's Pink Floyd.

I second both of these choices. I came here to say the 2nd as clearly the thread title leads anyone who knows the album to think of it. Saw them play it live about 20 years ago, and they were superb.

I third them both amazing albums, I will add any ozric tentacles early albums, cinematic orchestra ,

At one point Spiritualized were my most seen band. Overtaken by Morcheeba by the end of the 90s (i used to go on tour with them tho). Smoke Fairies are up there now too.

Moon Safari is one of my favourite summers day albums

On vinyl soo good 👍

If I was going to give a single suggestion it would be:

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works '85-'92

Don't get Volume 2 if you like it and then expect anything like the same thing.

Spiritualized or anything by grouper

Tame Impala - Lonerism
Mogwai - Rave Tapes (almost anything by mogwai tbh)
Nick Drake - Pink Moon

The Future Sound of London - Lifeforms
Bonobo - Animal Magic
Brian Eno - Music For Films
Massive Attack - Mezzanine
Quantic - The 5th Exotic
Boards of Canada - The Campfire Headphase
Zero 7 - Simple Things
The Cinematic Orchestra - Every Day

Nightmares on wax, smokers delight. Boom!

Great shout

Gong flying teapot !

The whole Radio Gnome trilogy!

Here’s a few more albums that might fit your bill…..

The Verve - Storm in heaven
Move D - Solitaire
Mos Def/Talib Kweli - Black star
Lemon Jelly - lost horizons
XTC - Skylarking
Antonio Carlos Jobim - Tide/Wave
John Haycock - Dorian Portrait

Forgot the verve ! Early verve definately floaty

Weirdly was watching the Acid House the other night and it played out with On Your Own...what a tune...love that band

Elder - Reflections of a Floating World
Can - Future Days
John Martyn - Inside Out
KLF - Chill Out

Those are some epic tunes there bud! Lovin it

Miles Davis - In a silent way.
Big Bud - Late night blues

The Ozric Tentacles are the perfect example of spacey and floaty!

If you haven't already, check out both Noduns Ictus albums. Ozrics but with a focus on their floaty spacey sounds

Omfg the Ozrics! Lying in the dark on the floor two massive kef speakers , head in the sweetspot after buckets and hot knives

The original Dreamfish album was amazing back in the day. I remember getting a cassette tape copy from a guy at school and listening to it on headphones after a spliff which blew my mind. Got the CD off eBay years later and it's still good for an ambient chillout option.

I’ve got the vinyl of that! Quality Fax output. That label did loads of amazing CDs and they were all limited to between 200-500 copies only….

Sweet, I'll need to check my copy then. I might have bagged a rarity if it's the same label! 😂

I had quite a few but sold on sone years back highest I got was £300 for the second I.F. CD!

I prefer to lose myself in a movie or a game while high but this question feels like it was meant to be answered with ELO - Time.

Anything by LTJ Bukem

Anything by 4hero

Bit more mainstream but also love to chill to a bit of Zero 7😎 The live version of 'Destiny' (linked above) is just beautiful.

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

You might like Kruder & Dorfmeister's DJ Kicks set

Dopesmoker

YES

Tripping with Nils Frahm is great for a spacey floaty experience. Seeing him live is even better.

Both Nodun's Ictus albums are good choices too - the Ozrics without as many guitar riffs

1."The Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd: A classic album known for its immersive and trippy soundscapes.

2,"Ambient 1: Music for Airports" by Brian Eno: This album is a pioneer in the ambient genre, creating a calming and ethereal atmosphere.

3,"Loveless" by My Bloody Valentine: This shoegaze masterpiece features layers of ethereal and swirling guitars that create a dreamy sonic landscape.

4."Aerial" by Kate Bush: This album is known for its ethereal vocals and lush instrumentation, creating a sense of floating through different sonic realms.

5."Moon Safari" by Air: A blend of electronic and dreamy pop, this album has a spacey vibe that transports listeners to otherworldly places.

6."Kid A" by Radiohead: While not entirely spacey, this album incorporates electronic and atmospheric elements that create a sense of floating through a surreal landscape.

7."Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven" by Godspeed You! Black Emperor: This post-rock album features expansive and cinematic soundscapes that can evoke a sense of floating through space.

8."Homogenic" by Björk: Known for its experimental and otherworldly sound, this album combines electronic and orchestral elements to create a unique sonic journey.

Warp Artificial Intelligence 2, from the early 90s. Incredible album, well worth a listen.

Hope you enjoy these two….

I don't think this is what you're after, but it fits the bill...

I often fall asleep listen to a playlist on Spotify called "Floating through space" but it is literally ambient drone 😂

Higher Intelligence Agency - Colourform Planet Dog label
Also Wonderful World of Weed in Dub-Tassilli Players
Zion Train Passage to Indica all brilliant albums and completely different

Some fantastic albums here and I can't wait to dig into the rest of the suggestions, great thread :)
Not an album but In Love Again by Red Rack'em is a great flip of y by Outkast; super deep house, floaty as you say.

Oasis - Definitely Maybe

Whatever BSide Track

🥃

Don’t over look the mighty Khraungbin! Con todo el mundo is sensational.

1/ "Departure from the Northern Wasteland" by Micheal Hoenig.....
2/"Pheadra" by Tangerine Dream
3/"Faultline" by Redshift.
4/"Mirage" by Klaus Schulze.
5/"Empetus" by Steve Roach.
6/"Waves Of Dreams" by Gert Emmens.

These are all Berlin School "floating" heaven and worthy of a listen....enjoy!

Carbon Based Lifeforms, all of it. I tend to have a smoke.before bed, pop CBL.on and drift off to a nice spacey sleep.

Check out Haiku Salut - There is no elsewhere

Completely instrumental, so good to listen to while working, but also real nice to have on whilst having a smoke

Flow State by Tash Sultana
It's just her and a loop pedal, great album for a spaced out smoke

S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M. by OneBeLo.

Fargo
Game of Thrones
Better Call Saul
Breaking Bad

Oh man how did I forget Fawlty Towers absolutely class especially when you're clattered the episode when he pretends Sybil is ill in bed is the only poor one

It was the last 3 episodes that ruined it a bit then The Green Green Grass and Rock and Chips ruined it some more 🙄😞. I think Grandad was a bit better than Albert too

The Sopranos. Gabba gool kapish

Breaking Bad.

For stoner themed : Trailer Park Boys

Greasy, decent!

The Peep Show & Brassic for the best of British comedy…
Two And A Half Men & Veep for best of Yank comedy…

The movie 'apocolypto'
Homeland
Witcher
Breaking bad
Vikings

Diablo 4, CSGO, Old School RuneScape

Ah man, I like you. Runescape and Rune was sick! Is that like the fantasy, medievil one?

In 2013 Jagex who own Runescape found backups of the game before they screwed it up basically, and it was files from 2007.

A small team took over it as a side project and it’s amazing it’s constantly updated and is Oldschool RuneScape that runs alongside RuneScape 3 which is the updated game that has a lot fewer players.

Ever want nostalgia come play it again there’s thousands of us!

Just started playing again 😆

I have a friend who plays that shit now, he used to be real good at rocket leaguentoo, but ever since he found distillate he has fallen from a crystal player to a lowly platinum

Randomiser has left the chat

My wife wouldn’t let me get it (she would but wouldn’t get me it for my birthday) because JK Rowling is a c**t and I just got hyped up and never bothered, was it good after a few days of playing?

It's the best Harry potter universe game ever and a 6/10 third person RPG

Imo

Street fighter 6 and i got diablo 4 lined up

I've been playing Doom Eternal and it is really something after a joint 🤯

I love Doom Eternal so much. Personally I find you have to stay calm and treat it like some weird racing game where you just rip and tear as you have to keep moving around the course like a race track.

Definitely one of my favourite games ever.

Just started on Little Nightmares 2. Absolutely loving it so far :)

Dude, you sound like someone who needs to play DayZ. Watch therunningmanz or freshspawns on youtube and you will get a good idea of what the games about. Best game ive ever played. The last of us has an online for it too called factions multiplayer. Straight up war🤣

Love a bit of DayZ 😍 the community servers can be a right blast

Ahh, I don’t play DayZ as I’m on console but it’s comfy af kicking back to a bit of the ole runningmanz

Ha, great thread. Cyberpunk 2077, especially when I am high, it feels like I live inside the game lol

I'm obsessed with outriders at the moment it's really good, just waiting for starfield to launch (no pun intended) next month and I'll be booking some annual leave haha!

Had completely forgot about Starfield. Next month? :)

Project Zomboid. Relaxing, frustrating, steep learning curve, hit zombies in the face with griddle pans. What more do you need?

I'm just finishing up after 300 hours on zelda tears of the kingdom. Unbelievable game

Wolftestain young blood on switch

whataya think

just floating around elite dangerous & ARK: survival Elevolved

waiting on starfeild being released

Elite I enjoyed but haven't bothered with horizons

I may have purchased my first vr headset (rift) pretty much purely for elite at the time...

Actually I need to go back to that

I rarely play the horizons myself. I use Thrustmaster & quest I get lost for Hours in ED

Started homeworld remastered still space but a little different

Yeah sold the cv1 for a quest 2 and have a thrustmaster t16000 hotas setup

Haven't played for since before horizons mind

It's the endless updating of shit that kills it for me now

If I'm not constantly on it,.everytime I want to play I need to update everything from drivers to headset to game to...

Retro…Call of duty 2…playing through the campaign….when cod had long campaigns. But it was cod2 online that grabbed my attention away back 2006…4v4 main gun and a side arm…grenade and a smoker…simple times pure dead brilliant

Pikmin 4 on the switch. Very very addictive!

MK1 at the moment, though I haven’t played a fighting game since I was a kid!
Always been a pvp gamer.
Always been struggling to find good pvp action outside of shooters.
And fighting games have been here the whole damn time lol.
Been living a lie.

Splitting my time between Diablo IV, Tears of the Kingdom and Pikmin 4.

Just died on hardcore WOW, waiting for dark and darker.

Finished the last of us part 1 earlier this month on ps5. Awesome game!
