Sleepmakeswaves - In Today Already Walks Tomorrow (2008)

This, dear readers, is one of my personal favourite albums of all-time. It's a musical journey through your own thoughts and feelings. Your own emotions. You'll be confronted with them all throughout this album and you'll make peace with them for as long as you'll allow it. It's got an amazing atmosphere, one that'll make you dream your problems away. The entire world doesn't exist and doesn't matter anymore from beginning to end. Please, allow yourself to let time stand still for about 40 minutes and download this to find your own self.
You're welcome.

Sample: "I Will Write Peace On Your Wings And You Will Fly Over The World"

Tortoise - It's All Around You (2004)

I don't know anything about this band and don't even know how this ended up in my music library, but I decided to listen to it and was blown away. The album begins with a jazz-ish tune and some hints of post-rock, and then just blasts into this incredible landscape-like post-rock/jazz journey. It's really, really well done and a huge pleasure to the ears. One of those albums that completely lives up to their cover. Great stuff!

Sample: "Salt The Skies"

Alcest - Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde (2007)

Alcest is a musical project of French musician Neige. As a child, Neige had experiences with being in contact with a "far-off country" that he mostly refers to as "Fairy Land". Alcest is intended to be a journey for the listener to this "Fairy Land", through Neige's memories. And this album accomplishes that really well. Dreamy, peaceful music with walls of sounds and Neige's angel-like voice make Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde a phenomenal album that gives you an extraordinary experience.

Sample: "Les Iris"

Saxon Shore - The Exquisite Death of Saxon Shore (2005)

Saxon Shore is an American post-rock band and a very good one at that. I for one am really picky with my post-rock, and this is some really good stuff, even though there's more walls of sounds than the whole 'building up'. The tracks are relatively short too so it's a good album to listen to when you don't have that much time and also a good scrobbling album!

Sample: "The Revolution Will Be Streaming"

Cold Body Radiation - Deer Twilight (2011)

Cold Body Radiation is a one-man band from The Netherlands. Deer Twilight is an atmospheric, dreamy album with post-rock and shoegazing elements that remind you of landscapes and cozy situations. This takes you to a whole other world, man. You should definitely check this out.
