What Album/Artist/Group Sends Your Mind To A Far Away Place?

Everytime you hear them you picture yourself in a different world a beautiful(sometimes dark place)
in a distant plateau..
Idk if anyone really knows what I mean..like a far away area away from earth..that if you close your eyes you can feel like your above it all or in a fairytale..(even a dream)
I guess I feel that way when I listen to genesis & pink floyd
how about you? which album or group or artist gives you this feeling every time you listen to them/it?
These are my 2 examples :
1. Genesis - Happy the Man
2. Pink Floyd - A Pillow of Winds

REM - Green
To me, It's very night-timey and I approach it as a specific song cycle that describes a twilight view of the world, hence my mind shuffles off to this different plane.
Similarly so with Doolittle by Pixies - again, these songs are very evocative and open you to a vision of a different earth.

I'm talkin' the whole album (although it's a close call for Stand), I rarely listen to individual cuts.
Ditto for Doolittle.

Till I Die puts me into a weird trance every time I hear it. I close my eyes and consentrate only on the music. By the fade out at the end, I'm so into it that it's like I'm floating. I literally lose my sense of touch/feeling. I also lose touch of where I am. I just totally zone out into another world. The solo section in Feel Flows does it too, but not as strong as in Till I Die.

i totally know how you feel but for some reason when i close my eyes and listen to til i die i imagine myself at a beach by the mountains at night time sinking deep and deeper into the ocean

John Barry's theme to the Nic Roeg film Walkabout does it every time. I find it an incredibly emotive piece of music. Maybe because the imagery in the film is so powerful too - not sure. Definitely my favourite Barry tune.

Even the more down-to-earth tracks ("Cowboy Movie", "What
Are Their Names") have something otherworldly about them...
