Earlier quoted context omitted.

And the ultimate one ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J639xIdgzQU (still remember zapping through the channels on our kitchen TV stumbling on it - about 20 years ago - it's so weird, you just don't forget that)

Surprised his Rubber Johnny video hasn't been mentioned yet. That's my nomination for ultimate anxiety inducing Aphex Twin work. It even includes an anxiety attack in the beginning. Link: https://youtu.be/l6_0UIknW-A

true, that's a nice one

Clearly these guys have never heard of Sigur Ros. Go listen to Svefn-g-englar and tell me you aren’t chill as a cucumber.

Sigur Ros is like magic. Bon Iver almost has that same effect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8T0cHQb39GY

I’ve seen Sigur Ros live twice. The first time was great, but the venue wasn’t very good. The second time was at the Fox Theater in Atlanta a few years ago. To say it was a powerful experience is a huge understatement. Those guys somehow channel something much larger than themselves. There are really no words to describe it.

I couldn't dig it - but I like the article and idea. Other readers: what are some of your favorite chill background tracks? I'm on Hippie Sabotage lately.

I unironically enjoy listening to this 16-second loop on repeat for 50 minutes: https://youtu.be/8snzt-umd0g More recently, Haircuts for Men: https://youtu.be/XZUiPCGjej8

You sound like a true idiot.
