What's your favorite calming album to listen to at night? My fave is Underworld's Second Toughest in the Infants, if only because of the second track. I believe it's called "Banstyle", it's a 15 minute wave of calming electronica.

Klaus Schulze, 'X'. I'm listening to it right now!

 

[Schrieks]

Sonic Youth: S/T EP; Evol
Durutti Column: A night in New York
Legendary Pink Dots: Brighter Now; Curse
Cul De Sac: Crashes to Light...; China Gate
some others I can't think of........

 

[Tom M]

Miles Davis: Kind of Blue

 

[elrod-tom]

Ben Webster Meets Oscar Peterson

I'll second that notion.

Just a few on the top of my mind:

A River of Appearance -- Vidna Obmana (ambient electronics and piano)
Voices -- Roger Eno (piano, electronic reverb and tape loops)
Between Tides -- Roger Eno (instrument music for small chamber ensemble)
The Pearl -- Brian Eno and Harold Budd (piano and electronics)
A Different Shore -- Nightnoise (Celtic)

Savatage and Pink Floyd always sound real good at 2 or 3 in the morning when I'm halfway done with a lab report.

 

[Wilson]

Stan Getz "Sweet Rain"
Cassandra Wilson "New Moon Daughter"
Beethoven String Quartets

 

[dsavitsk]

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy -- Ease Down the Road

 

[N@Z]

The Peter Malick Group featuring Norah Jones - New York City
Sarah McLachlan - The Freedom Sessions

Gets me everytime. The vocals are so upfront & intimate. On headphones it makes the hairs on the back of my head tingle!

I find ***** for Pyros "Good God's Urge" very relaxing. Porpoise Head,Tahitian Moon and Bali Eyes tracks in particular. I think I'll spin it right now.

Damn... I can't believe I made this thread because I made one exactly like it a few months ago. I saw it when I did a search. My bad. Just wanted to point it out myself before someone else did. Must've been, well, late when I made this lol
