Ethereal songs

[ChevronB19]

I realise there is a significant overlap with psychedelia and space rock, but I’m trying to define the undefinable, so all contributions welcome.

I’ll start with Cocteau Twins - Cherry Coloured Funk (described by Perry Farrell in todays Guardian as a band where every song sounds like an orgasm).

[HBelder]

Slow Drive - Moon Panda

[a340driver]

The Durutti Column - Sketch for Summer

[Gin and Ultrasonic]

One of my favourite genres although I (probably like the OP) have no idea how to search for songs that fit in.....

How about -
Felt - Primitive Painters
This Mortal Coil - Song to the Siren
Joy Division - Atmosphere

[RedAndy]

Casulaties of Cool
Ghost
and many more...
by Devin Townsend

[P5BNij]

Boychild - Scott Walker

Transparent Radiation - Spacemen 3

[StevieBee]

Have you heard any Gypsy and the Cat? Think they fit within this category.

Their new one, Dust, I think is lovely:

Some (for me, anyway) different flavours of "elthereal":-

[hmg]

An acquired taste but I can always lose myself in Radioheads alternate take on ethereal and haunting..

Goldfrapp - Utopia
Sigus Ros - Agaetis Byrjun (although all of their music would fit the bill)
