I really like the first hype williams record for hiking, very much in that lo-fi headspace but appropriately propulsive/meditative.

was going around sai kung in hk earlier this year and thought the light lps were really good for that, in particular turning.

(the record proper isn't as indiscriminately shoegaze-y as those tracks, they're pretty much the only song-based pieces. most of it is drifting melodic figures and drones a la fsa)

 

in terms of more straight-up ambient stuff, can't go wrong with alex gray's (d/p/i, dreamcolour, sun araw) stuff as deep magic
