Hi Chris, Try Vladislav Delay, start with the albums "Entain" and "Multila". They induce you into a dreamlike state, perfect for reading. And I found them really great as a soundtrack to William Gibson novels. After some listens, pieces start to fall into place, your subconscious will love it :) Luis Marta.
