Music to sleep to?

I'm a big fan of sleeping to music - but it can't be too loud and obnoxious. Does anyone else have examples of albums/artists that you listen to while you sleep?

Some of my favorites are:

* "9" - Damien Rice
* "The Reminder" - Feist
* "Everything All The Time" - Band of Horses
* "Drums & Guns" - Low
* Any Decemberists
* Any Iron & Wine
* "Person Pitch" - Panda Bear
* any Portishead
* "In Rainbows" - Radiohead
* "All The Stars and Boulevards" - Augustana
* Any Elliott Smith

How bout y'all?

I listen to anything Coldplay when I'm going to sleep. Its pretty relaxing and I really like their music.

Buckethead - Colma works very well for me. Maybe Voyage 34 by Porcupine Tree but it's more like trance music so I have to be in the right mood for it. Anything by Massive Attack is allright. Blonde Redhead - Misery is a Butterfly. Also playing Bach at a quiet volume isn't bad.

Glad I could help.

Anyways when I was a teen I used to pass out to The last song or two on the Downward Spiral by NIN.I think it was Hurt and some other slow song I don't remember the name of.

I generally go for something with a downtempo usually without lyrics. So basically most ambient, real jazzy drum and bass or trip hop. But for something more specific...

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Vol 1 & 2
DJ Shadow - The Private Press or Preemptive Strike
Blockhead - Broken Bets or Music by Cavelight
and of course i find Portishead now and then lulling me to sleep every now and then.

Ambient Nights Series. That shit knocks me out. 'The Chill Surrounding the Promise of Snow' is the best CD imo. It will put you out.

I can't really fall asleep to music I would normally just listen to. I just end up thinking about shit rather than sleeping.

some of these are obvious choices. I don't really listen but a select 10-15 songs of different stuff to put me to sleep though. Like I would recommend Kevin Drew - Gang Bang Suicide, Phoenix - Love For Granted or The Stills - In The End but would definitely not recommend those albums, etc

No Lyrics:
Rachel's
Brian Eno
Mogwai
Four Tet
Helios
Explosions in the Sky
The Album Leaf (most of the time lyricless)
Boards of Canada
Broken Social Scene - Feel Good Lost

Lyrics:
Elliott Smith
Beach House
M. Ward
Múm (not MUM)
Radiohead
Jon Brion
The Wrens
Elvis Perkins
Mount Eerie
Sigur Rós
Death Cab For Cutie
Caribou
Bright Eyes
Belle & Sebastian
Bonnie "Prince" Billy
The Smiths
The Radio Dept

Actually now that I think of it, see if you can find some Bohren & Der Club of Gore. They would put a meth head to sleep right after smoking a rock.



I don't understand how they keep time, as far as the drum beat and the high hat.
