That would be ideal. I just tried again and came up with 2 CDs, one that's ultra creepy and another that I would actually listen to.
But yes, Stone in Focus, it's like what Stars of the Lid should sound like to justify their long-ass records.

"Don't Bother They're Here" off of Refinement IS "Stone in Focus" but I guess it's up to you which one does it better.

I managed to rip this to two CDs with SIF I'm sure.
It's high time they rereleased this album... unless I'm mistaken and they have.

YouTube comments on this are actually kinda neat. Paraphrasing one: the metronome clicking represents heart beating; long cello like sound represents breathing. As the piece progresses the heart beats slower and the breathing gets longer. Akin to getting into a deeper and deeper meditative state.

Anyway this is perfect mood music for current state of things. Deep melancholy yet a gentle, womb-like aura telling you that everything is going to be alright.

YT comments for SAWII tracks are definitely a whole mood.
