Music to relax to

Usha Starchild · 05-18-2007, 10:43 AM

Hey guys, anyone know of any really good relaxing type of music, I need somehting to unwind to.

Looking for something thats just got some nice melody, piano, sax, flute whatever. Some asian or ethnic music would be cool too. Enya was nice at times, need something new. It doesnt need to have lyrics

Thanks.

edit: yeah i fucked up the too in the subject... hah

David Usher is great shit. Little Songs, Morning Orbit, and Strange Birds would be the best three of the five, in that order.

Emilie Autumn is my musician of choice whenever I don't feel like listening to metal or my usual harsh industrial music--especially her latest album Laced/Unlaced, as far as the 'to relax to' topic goes. Laced is classical violin and Unlaced is electric violin and harpsichord, along with some electronics (drum machine, etc.). No vocals at all on L/U, but she sings [very well] on Opheliac and the others.

Death in vegas is good. Especially Dead Elvis album

SomaFM: Extremely Independent Internet Radio

Groove salad at the above link is really good too.

By far my favorite 2 relaxing cds would be Dave Brubeck - On Time and Soulive - Turn It Out. Both are jazz, Soulive's is completely instrumental while Brubeck's only has maybe one or two songs with vocals. Completely chill to the max.

Boards of Canada

Gotta chime in with 2002. I can put that shit on my CD player and just drift away. I can't drive while listening to it, because I just kinda float off.

Create a Pandora station from Enya, lots of great relaxing music will follow.

Eomer · 05-18-2007, 07:36 PM

Decided to give Pandora a go today. Fuckers shut us Canadians out!

DJ Krush feat. Toshinori Kondo - Ki-Oku

Incredibly jazzy trumpet playing with low key ambient beats. Mu-Chu is amazing.

Thievery Corporation is nice chillout music.
