Is there more Black Sabbath repertoire like 'Planet Caravan'? I find this piece magnetic.

Qualities: downtempo, ethereal, rich complexity underneath the thematic two-chord ostinato, iommi's tasty phrasing on that clean SG.

Bonus: Anything else I should give a listen to?

Best answer: Solitude. Fluff. Laguna Sunrise.

Corrosion of Conformity's Shallow Ground off their album "Blind". Maybe something from Sleep? (maybe volume 2 and Dopesmoker). Some selected tracks from Acid King possibly.

Maybe not exactly right, but try Grails. It hits the right mood I think.

Oh man, I hadn't listened to Planet Caravan for a while so I just did. Tripling down on my suggestion of Grails. Probably everything from Burning Off Impurities through Deep Politics except the opening tracks of Doomsdayer's Holiday.

This goes more into the 'Bonus' category, as it's not as mellow / reflective as "Planet Caravan", but Moab's Ab Ovo (released in 2011) sounds like The Lost Black Sabbath Album.

"Zeitgeist" from their latest (possibly last) album is an obvious tribute to/retread of "Planet Caravan." Perhaps too much so to consider it a song on the same level but hey if you like the original...

Type O Negative - Glass Walls Of Limbo
You could also try the "Dark Ambient" or "Atmospheric Black Metal" style albums from Burzum (about half the band's discography, the other half is Norwegian Black Metal).
