I've already made some incredible up-beat Drum 'N' Bass/ Club CDs, but I would really appreciate a CD will some relaxing songs for driving home. I don't really want Chart crap, or the traditional "chill out" stuff, I'm more after dreamy/ambient songs.

Thinking along the lines of:

The Autumn Leaves - ATB (This is EXACTLY the sort of song I'm after)
Pink Moon - No Man
If the World Ends - Guillemots
No Woman No Cry (Dreams Of Freedom Mix) - Bob Marley
Hide & Seek - Imogen Heap

Just picture yourself driving home after a long, hard day when it's raining heavily and you might get the idea :D

I'd really appreciate any suggestions, and why not give some of the songs above a listen?
 
Made a similar CD, not sure if it's quite what you're looking for. So here are a few tracks from it . .

Bloc Party - Blue light
Goo Goo Dolls - Here is gone
Snow Patrol - Set the fire to the third bar
Stereophonics - Maybe Tomorrow
Bloc Party - Plans (Mogawi Mix)
Dropping Daylight - Tell me
Boy Kill Boy - Suzie
Muse - Starlight
The All American Rejects - Dirty Little Secret
Blink 182 - What's my age again
Lifehouse - Undone
Stone sour - Through the Glass
Lifehouse - Days go by
Plus 44 - Lycanthorpe
 
Chicane - No ordinary morning
Chicane - Autumn tactics


EDIT\\ particularly autumn tactics, fantastic track :)

I agree with quite a lot on the list but I think you should add on this song for an absolutely amazing uplifting tune:

Pendulum - Hold your Colour

Yep, it is indeed an awesome tune but it's on my "Drum 'N' Bass" drivin' cd :D

Tried anything from #2? Is it the type your looking for, or those thereafter?

Clubbed To Death is great but doesn't fit in to what I have in mind. The Chicane song is more along the lines though, although I can't find the specific mix on iTunes which is a pity.
 
Thanks for all the suggestions.

A mate suggested the soundtrack for Crash, and I have to say that it's absolutely beautiful - just what I was looking for. Every single song is what I was after. If anyone knows anything similar please let me know.
 
All the young men drive on our works car park with that tune that goes boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom so that will be a good one to get.
