Most 'Mesmeric' Songs Ever!

I need a break from the onslaught of noiz from time to time.

I like to be carried of on a chill breeze and taken to a better place and that kinda stuff.  You know the kind of thing I mean so I'll just kick off with this one.

    I'll nominate En Attendant Cousteau by Jean Michel Jarre. Undersea ambient sound. Once listened to it while driving across southern Virginia in dense fog. Kept expecting to see schools of fish darting away as the van's headlights startled them.
