Soft mellow stuff
Can someone recommend me some soft mellow stuff like Opeth- Still day beneath the sun and Patterns in the ivy 2? I gotta take a break from metal for a while cus I'm bored of it. Please don't recommend Damnation.

I reccomend...
Alice In Chains - Sap
Alice In Chains - Jar Of Flies
The Grateful Dead - American Beauty
The Grateful Dead - Aoxomoxoa
a bit less acoustic...
King Crimson - In The Court of the Crimson King
Jeff Buckley - Grace or Live at Sin-e'
Pink Floyd - Meddle
Ten Years After - Stonedhenge
I'm sure some people could also reccomend some of Opeth's influences like Camel and so forth but I don't listen to many of them. I'm also interested in what people have to reccomend here since Opeth is a little more delicate than the stuff I'm familiar with... I'd like to know some bands that are as sparce as Still Day Beneath The Sun.

Listen to Secret Garden. They arent anything like softer Opeth, but I'm sure you'd like them. Very relaxing and melodic.

Big Opeth influence. Akerfeldt pretty nearly copies Drake's singing style for his soft vocals.

I have one of Nick Drake's albums. It's been a couple years since I've listened but I recall him being much folkier (like early Dylan or Leonard Cohen) as opposed to the atmospheric-type stuff I want to hear, but I'll definetly give him another listen.
Listening right now and it's pretty good so far. I can see how Akerfeldt copied Drake's mannerism, but I wouldn't say they actually sound similar as far as their voice goes (not that you said they did). Identicle mannerisms/style though.

If you dig him you will love Elliott Smith's stuff. It is super sad and mellow stuff. The guy ended up killing himself. |

I don't actually like him that much. I was just pointing out the stylistic similarity between him and Opeth's soft music. I tend to stay away from moody/depressing music in general.

Well, if you want the mellower part of opeth, try Blackfield.
Sounds kinda similar, with a different vocalist of course.
You could also try John Martyn & Bon Iver as well.
Click Me(John Martyn)
And i second Nick Drake!

Well, you could recommend 'I Talk to the Wind' or 'Moonchild' from it, but the rest ain't all that soft or mellow.
