I'd love if someone could recommend me something in the style of Air's "Moon Safari" album. Very soulful, downtempo, almost chillout electronic.

All the aggregator suggestions don't really seem to "hit" the same feeling.

Definitely a big Portishead fan so I already delve into trip-hop, I think the thing about Air is that they have a quiet pop-ish sound to their downtempo stuff. It's so maddeningly hard to articulate what makes Air "Air" other than that. They're very French :haw: Other than that they seem to be the perfect mix of lounge, downtempo, ambient, and electronic.

Thanks for the suggestions, definitely checking some of those out. I've been meaning to check out Morcheeba for some time now so I think I will :)

OK one more question.

Something similar to the Solaris soundtrack. Very ethereal, orchestral, ambient. Slightly electronic. Very sleepy. This soundtrack was basically perfect for imagining myself floating in space serenely with just a slight undertone of tension. Definitely no vocals necessary or even wanted.

An example:

Anything off the top of anyone's head? I'm not even sure where to begin looking for a genre on this one. It's not ambient in the electronic sense, it's not chillout, not lounge.
