brian eno's ambient series 1-4 are all good for active or passive
listening, i especially like the b-side of the laraaji one.

i don't know if they were designed for it, but my two ambient
favourites are "rainbow dome musick" by steve hillage and miquette
giraudy, and "arbor bona arbor mala" by the shamen, both can induce a
very nice state.
