This one has a few good tracks like Infinity and The Moment - a few tracks which also fit with the theme of those two:



 
I listen to a lot of ambient music and nature soundscapes these days, it helps shut out distractions while working and helps relax for sleep.

Here's a few musicians who produce some great ambient / electronic / relaxation music:

Martin Stürtzer
Check out his live streamed Home Concerts and Ambient Nights series. They're all good.

State Azure
Eclectic mix of ambient and electronic music inspired by the likes of Tangerine Dream, Vangelis and Jan Hammer. His live improvisations are really special.

Spacewave
A very prolific producer of some really good ambient for mood setting. Lots of different styles, but he does tend to favour the Bladerunner vibe a lot.

Ólafur Arnalds
Probably my favourite go-to artist at the moment for relaxation. His live performance from Hafursey in Iceland is amazing. As well as the beautiful music, the visuals are stunning.

Glad you like it!

Other similar stuff, H.U.V.A. Network is the duo project between Aes Dana and Solar Fields guys. The Carbon Based Lifeforms guy has another project he releases music under called Sync24 too.

I keep chillout a playlist which I use after I've had a mad day or night of clubbing. It's not all ambient, but the main idea is that they're slow tracks. Some of it is r'n'b, and lesser known tracks from well known artists. This is not a complete list as a lot of my tracks are from unsigned artists on Soundclick. Would take weeks to link all of their pages.
