Blissful instrumental music

"Tibet" and "Angel" on Marty Friedman's -Scenes- and "Like Someone In Love" on John Coltrane's -Lush Life- are a few that I think of in this way.

Ween - A Tear for Eddie    +spiky hair

There must be a lot, but on the top of my mind is Prayer by Raphel, from the album Angels of the Deep, and The Angelic Apperarance, from Vidna Obmana's album The River of Appearance

Ott - Queen of Everything

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Storm!

Mono - Halcyon (Beautiful Days)

Rachel's - First Self Portrait Series is a beautiful modern classical sounding track with piano and violin.

Also, Written From The Sky and On The Nature of Daylight by Max Richter are great. I think this theme was used in Shutter Island.

IMO one of the greatest post-rock tracks of all time, but I don't think bliss is the right word for it.

This is the most mysterious and intensely uplifting music you will ever hear.

Ecstasy drawn out and extended.

Start with #3, first set at the metro

I apologise for my prior flippancy

Willem Breuker with the Willem Breuker Kollectief made some very interesting music. Today he passed away.

RIP, indeed. So glad someone mentioned it because I was wondering which thread would be best to post this.

It was definitely a great loss for the jazz music lovers. 

Here's an article on this:

I have the "Trommeln In Der Nacht" soundtrack which I once bought out of sheer curiosity. It is so well recorded and lively executed that it sometimes even reminded me of King Crimsons "Red" (which is special to me). 

Tru Blu, indeed and this thread seemed most fitting. The music he and his people/kollektief made was truly something special although the Dutch press was not too fuzzed about his work, I read a bit about it. I should delve into his works though. The Instant Composer Pool live is quite special.

Yes it was. I was watching Shutter Island, then... I've got that tune!

If you like Rachel's, listen to Rachel Grimes solo album Book Of Leaves and for this thread the track The Corner Room
