Is there any calming/peaceful/relaxing trance?

I have a lot of fast trippy stuff on my Ipod, but am interested in a little more variety. It would be nice to have few soothing tunes come on in between the hardcore songs. Someone recommended Enya's Storms In Africa and I really like it, even though it isn't technically trance.

I'm just curious on what other artists/songs you guys consider harmonious and relaxing.

Any recommendations greatly appreciated.

Tilt - The world doesn't know

Posted by b1_ on Apr-09-2005 16:01:

Brian Eno - An Ending (Ascent) (Leama and Moor Mix). You won't get much more soothing and smooth than that. I may have some more...

EDIT
Blue Haze - Into Nothing (Bill Hamels Last Time For 9 Vox Mix)
Girl Nobody - Cages (Lemon 8 Remix)
Jewel - Intuition (Markus Schulz Coldharbour Mix)

Non-trance you could try Zero 7's Simple Things album, or Sigur Ros. All good .

EDIT AGAIN
Then there's classical:
Beethoven - Ave Maria
Debussy - Claire De Lune
Grieg - Peer Gynt suite No 1 (Morning Mood)
Grieg - Peer Gynt suite No 1 (The Death of Aase)
Tchaikovsky - The Nutcracker Suite - Waltz of the Flowers
Zbigniew Priesner - Beginning of the Story

But wait, there's more...

70's easy listening (you know, the stuff your Mum loves and just isn't cool ):
Bread - Baby I'm A-Want You
Bread - If
Don Mclean - Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)
Doug Ashdown - Winter In America
Elvis Presley - In The Ghetto
Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water
Simon & Garfunkel - Bright eyes
The Hollies - The Air That I Breathe
The Doors - Riders on the Storm
Van Morrison - Into The Mystic
Bill Withers - Aint No Sunshine When Shes Gone

If you're not out cold by now there's something wrong with you.

You can do a search for chill out stuff, but if you want specifically 4/4 trance then here are some I like:

Quadran - No Air
Shmuel Flash - Chilling Moments (Bedrock Vocal)
Valentino - Flying (Sultan & The Greek Mix)
Tone Depth - Sagres
G-Pal pres. Ghos - I can See the Lights
Tetraflux - From The Past Into The Present

Pinkbox Special - Nice Guys Finish Last

Rapid Eye - Circa Forever (Chillseeking Remix)

Trance in a more relaxing way .. hmm maybe these would do (i think):

Sunday Club - Healing Dream (Original Mix)
Tranceparents - Child Two (Paul van Dyk's Summer Love Mix)
Liquid - Orlando Dawn (Agnelli & Nelson's Saturday Night Special Mix)
Cygnus X - Positron (Original Mix)
Orbital - Halcyon + On + On >> Original Halcyon has a more breaksy feel than this album remake
Alice Deejay - Celebrate Our Love (Solid Sessions Remix)
Blank & Jones - Secrets & Lies (Solid Sessions Remix)
Ayla - Ambience
System F - Cry (Oliver Lieb Remix)
Moonman - Galaxia (Solar Stone Remix)

Love this track.

I'd also recommend B.I.G. - "A Promise"

Any of Chicane's stuff is pretty good, but if you want something that is incredible try Mirco de Govia.
go into his website www.mircodegovia.com and click on album, you can hear some samples, that is the ultimate euphoric chill trance!

Oh absolutely there is calm and relaxing trance. It's typically referred to as Ambient or chillout. The following are very relaxing and awe-inspiring at the same time:

Chicane - Saltwater (The Thrillseekers Remix)
Solar Stone - Seven Cities (Ambient Mix)
Blank & Jones - Beyond Time (Ambient Mix)
Above & Beyond - Far From In Love (Mackers Ambient Mix)

There's an ambient version of No One On Earth...I'm trying to get it. This list should get you started though.

And yes, check out more Enya, she happens to be my fav non-trance artist. Actually, some of her music could be considered ambient trance.

Try:

Realm F vs Rankey - Nairobi (Alex M.O.R.P.H. Mix)

I just happened to get this on a vinyl order and had no idea how good it was until I heard it. Might be a little faster than you are looking for, but beautiful tune nonetheless.
