Music from the ether…

The only other ethereal singer besides Salyu (a la Lily Chou-Chou) I've come across is the Japanese indie singer Miyo.
EDIT: I forgot Utada Hikaru! She's R&B for the most part, but her songs Sanctuary/Passion and Beautiful World could be considered ethereal.

this Miyo, is she the singer in Coo-Ya?
that was the only info i could find
or is this an entirely different singer?
just curious as Im trying to find some of this music listed on both of these music reccomendation listings -

i'd go along with several of the suggestions here, particularly gsybe!, my bloody valentine, philip glass, brian eno and boards of canada. and of course bjork is probably the closest to 'lily chou-chou' herself. some other suggestions:
elysian fields, belle and sebastian, portishead, massive attack, aphex twin's 'ambient works 1&2', lonely china day, sonic youth, the boredoms (from 'super ae' onwards), hisato higuchi, fennesz, tom hecker, and romantic period composers like debussy and satie
and if you're interested in the 'darker' side of the ether:
jesu, isis, boris, earth, sunn o))), sleep, om, red sparowes, pelican, skullflower -

No love for Stars Of The Lid? "The Tired Sounds Of" & "And Their Refinement Of The Decline" are completely enrapturing. Also Mono, especially their collaboration with World's End Girlfriend "Palmless Prayer/Mass Murder Refrain". If you get the chance see their tour doc "And The Sky Remains The Same As Ever", that band is the best live experience I've had.
"As I turned the corner, I felt muscular and compact - like corned beef."
