Windy & Carl do the job for me, Stars of the Lid, Dead Texan, Boards of Canada, Jessica Bailiff, stuff like that.

Arvo Part's music manages to relax while still provoking emotional response. "Spiegel Im Spiegel" especially.

Whenever I've had a real bad day I just put on some Brian Eno and all my worries go away

Basically operatic and classical is how I chill out. I throw in some piano-driven downtempo songs, electronic / chillout tracks, and things of that nature depending on my mood, but classical and opera is definitely what I listen to when I'm stressed and really need to relax.
