I will take the time to sit down tonight and listen carefully to the tracks you referred to, after which if I figure something out I'll post another comment but what comes to mind right now - while they doesn't have strong female voices are:
Nils Frahm - Says,
Lisa & Misha Maisky - J.S Bach - concerto in D minor - BWV 974,
Bob Dylan - Man in the long coat
Maybe one of those can help you.
Fear Inoculum, the title track from TOOL's latest album, which is also the first track, will let you know if your system is tuned well for it. Pneuma ( track 2) is my jam, on a system like that... i can only imagine. I'd say go back and listen to all their stuff.
If that's not your style then try Petricor, by Ludovico Einaudi.
I know. And Iām a noob and canāt figure out how to edit the post. I typed this post out in notes and had each one on its own line but for some reason the formatting didnāt carry over and I just pasted and posted without checking.
I totally get what you mean and that's definitely a style of music I vibe with as well. I'm going to start off with a somewhat odd recommendation, but it's an album that scratches that itch for me more than almost anything else:
Desire, I Want to Turn Into You (album) - Caroline Polachek
At least listen to the first track, titled Welcome to my Island. But the entire album is incredible.
Some random song recommendations I feel are transcendent:
Nude - Radiohead (most Radiohead feels transcendent to me but ESPECIALLY this song)
I Know the End - Phoebe Bridgers
Hyper-ballad - Bjork
Bleed - George Clanton
Thoroughfare - Ethel Cain (saw you mentioned a cover of a House in Nebraska, the original is great too but this song is my favorite from her).
Mary - Big Thief
Anything - Adrianne Lenker
Purple Rain - Prince (I love the entire album but that song specifically feels transcendent to me)
Let me know what you think if you give any of em a shot.
These are great recs given OPās sample songs! Iād only add a couple to this list:
Slow like honey & Cosmonauts - Fiona Apple
Austin Leaves - Eva Cassidyās version
And a wild card since this is r/audiophilemusic - [Ledisi - Wild is the Wind (Live)](https://music.apple.com/us/album/wild-is-the-wind-live/1576165782?i=1576165788) sends me to the moon. What a voice, and the musical accompaniment is exquisite.
Thank you for the recommendations! I already listened to Welcome to my Island! The rest of your recommendations will be added to my library based on that first song!!
Female vocals? Any language?

Sister Drum by ę±ę³½ē“ this will push your bass module
St. Teresa ~ Joan Osborne
Don't know why ~ Norah Jones
Those examples you gave are quite soft. I prefer a strong build or wall of noise to get transcendent - here are a few suggestions,
Surf solar - fuck buttons
https://open.spotify.com/track/06Sg3Ao4U0vesi6p3KJ0BS?si=YNENLY7ORFq6_bR8Ofyi9w
Open eye signal John Hopkins

Angel - massive attack
https://open.spotify.com/track/7uv632EkfwYhXoqf8rhYrg?si=55NzG0oUQX6KEIA36B1oGg
I find most of sigur Ros work can be ethereal and otherworldly - this is softer

https://open.spotify.com/track/2pYvd6cHcAIMAM6xMD6nok?si=1jMZDbeoSn-AUnER-L_Y5w
I wish I could hear them through that set up of yours :)
Try the album 'spiritual, spiritual' by B-tribe. I discovered it today through Tidal recommendations and it sure takes you places!
Edit: Angel by Sarah McLachlan is wonderfull as well!
Few suggestions that fit this brief for me:
Yppah - Film Burn
Christine and the Queens - Marvin Descending
Another Sky - Tree
Rosie Lowe - Who's That Girl
Courtney Barnet - Anonymous Club
DjRUM - Waters Rising
James Blake - Retrograde
Westerman - Blue Comanche
Anything by Pink Floyd always does the trick. But for more recent picks, the vocals of London Grammar tracks sound gorgeous. And salute to the Klipsch setup, adore those speakers.
If you want to try some instrumental stuff, I highly recommend Pat Metheny
San Lorenzo, As Falls Wichita So Falls Wichita Falls, Are You Going With Me?, The First Circle, Last Train Home
These songs are great jumping off points and have great atmosphere imo
I have a feeling you'll like these. "Transcendental" is a good term for some of it. Female vocals over ethereal music, etc. Other types as well. 1. [Hey Now - London Grammar](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmqyDAyJEd0) (Honestly every album by them is š„ and probably fits what you want.) 2. [Closer - Ane Brun](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-Nv7fHOoJ8) 3. [Eyes on Fire - Blue Foundation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwG-J0jtQgo) 4. [Remember Me - Eivor](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiBlfFIFCk8) 5. [Headspace - Archive](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FchUNFdDgsU) 6. [Me and the Devil - Soap&Skin](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfWSOs5YbQ8) 7. [Teardrop - Massive Attack](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb0MC0jFv6M) 8. [Everybody Knows - Sigrid](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjQk70d9xMA) 9. [Glory Box - Portishead](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAKX51r7erw) 10. [Rise - Dominique Fils-AimĆ©] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDpG8I8E8IM) 11. [Eden - Hooverphonic](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lw59wrZI_ic) 12. [6 Underground - Sneaker Pimps](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eBZqmL8ehg) 12. [Sugar - Men I Trust](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93rM4qnUyGA) 13. [Playground - Bea Miller](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jfI-z__GY0) 14. [A Little Wicked - Valerie Broussard](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yP9olT_TdM) No real order here, just as I thought of them. Each of these artists have terrific other songs as well.
Thank you for doing this!
London Grammer! Hey Now (ARTY Remix) is great too!
LG really doesn't have a bad track. The remixes aren't for me personally, though. "True" electronic/dance just isn't my thing, but to each their own!
I will take the time to sit down tonight and listen carefully to the tracks you referred to, after which if I figure something out I'll post another comment but what comes to mind right now - while they doesn't have strong female voices are: Nils Frahm - Says, Lisa & Misha Maisky - J.S Bach - concerto in D minor - BWV 974, Bob Dylan - Man in the long coat Maybe one of those can help you.
It's all about your headspace. Practice meditation with earplugs. Clear mind. Calm focus. Full breath. Then listen.
Other than earplugs I am with you fully :)
Depends on the noise of your family/housemates.
Fear Inoculum, the title track from TOOL's latest album, which is also the first track, will let you know if your system is tuned well for it.

Max Richter : Path 5 (delta) āfrom Sleepā always transports me elsewhereā¦ The female voice is ethereal.
* Lana Del Rey * Jolie Holland * Neko Case * Bella White
In a Silent Way, Miles Davis.
Commas, my friend. Commas.
I know. And Iām a noob and canāt figure out how to edit the post. I typed this post out in notes and had each one on its own line but for some reason the formatting didnāt carry over and I just pasted and posted without checking.

Iāve always been a fan of Eva Cassidyās Songbird. Iāll give this one a listen.
She was such a talent, and an angel on earth. Gone way too soon.

HAEVN: Eyes Closed.
Balls man. First song blew me away. Canāt wait for the rest of the album.
Try the album 'spiritual, spiritual' by B-tribe. I discovered it today through Tidal recommendations and it sure takes you places! Edit: Angel by Sarah McLachlan is wonderfull as well!
I'd suggest Weather Report. Teen Town has that feel I think you're describing.
