    I saw someone mention Radiohead's OK Computer.

    I would recommend Amnesiac by them. I spent some of my college years coding away with that in the background.

    Chilled as feic.

    All this talk of Goldie made me recall another D'n'B act, the formative LTJ Bukem, and not just "Horizons"; anything from his Logical Progression series will chill you to f**k out, pretty nicely...
    Some real nice suggestions in this thread...I'll be going in hunt of a few titles in here myself...

    Sigur Ros - ( )
    David Gray - White Ladder (not really chill music, but relaxed music)
    Jeff Buckley - Grace

    Massive Attack - Blue Lines
    Radiohead - Kid A
    Radiohead - Amnesiac

    Aphex Twin, Selected Ambient Beats II. Make sure you not to listen to any other of his albums though cause they are horribly hard-core.

    As was said already...

    Check out Lemonjelly.Ky, Air (particularly Moon Safari and Premieres Symptomes) and give Sigur Rós' "Agætis byrjun" a listen too. Eva Cassidy's "Songbird" album is pretty good too as is Enigma's "Cross of Changes".

    If you can, try and find the original soundtrack to the movie What Dreams May Come by Ennio Morricone. For some reason the people involved in the movie turned it down but it's beautiful and still floating around somewhere.

    Murder By Death, all the way. They're awesome. Especially 'Masters in Reverse Pyschology' and 'Holy Lord, Shawshank Redemption is Such a Good Movie'.

    And also Mogwai, The Postal Service, Amanda Rogers (such beautiful piano pieces), and 'Beautiful Things' by Andain is also very chillout-ey.
