BOARDS OF CANADA

any of their CDs

THE END

 

[scamper]

Lesser's Gearhound relaxes me...but, I am a bit odd...relaxation music for the adhd in us all.

O Yuki Conjugate's "Peyote" works pretty well for relaxing...yet isn't mindnumbingly dull.

Oddly enough, I find Nurse with Wound's "Soliloquy for Lilith" relaxing in an alien sort of way.

 

[cupples]

I would definitely second Jean Michel Jarre, especially Oxygene. Also Vangelis' soundtrack for Blade Runner is great (thanks to Snufkin for that one!)

Tortoise was already recommended, but I would recommend TNT or Millions Now Living May Never Die for more relaxing music (I actually like them better in general...). I would also recommend Windy and Carl -- Antartica or Consciousness. Stars of the Lid is also good, but I think I like Windy and Carl better for relaxation. Fila Brazillia's "Maim that Tune" can also be very relaxing at a lower volume...probably pretty close to the Thievery Corporation that you were listening to.

 

[Gundam]

Kraftwerk - Tour de France Soundtracks.

Excellent.

 

[MrMajestic]

Portishead - Portishead or Dummy

Goldfrapp - Felt Mountain

Good stuff!

 

[Dusty Chalk]

Lots of stuff on the Fax label.

Zenith.

Anything on the Waveform label (I think -- I don't have it all). Quote:

Where's the bugs-eyes-out icon?

 

[scamper]

I was looking for that Icon as well.

I have heard SFL? For some reason, I find it soothing and hypnotic...but, it isn't sappy or sugar sweet either...nothing like a nice drone to help you float off into dreamland.

I will say that SFL bugs the hell out of my wife.

Sounds very nice out of my DT 440's.

I'm "all about" NWW, Current 93, et al.

But then again, who am I to talk -- me, who used to deliberately play Too Dark Park (Skinny Puppy) to fall asleep to.

Brian Eno and Harold Budd produced an album together a few years ago, one of my faves to drive home from work to late at night, it's very relaxing with Eno's touch of "quite weird" mixed in, also there is some very good ambient on David Bowie's "Hero's" and "Low" albums

 

[till]

"Satta" by Boozoo Bajou.
"Selected Ambient Works 85-92" by Aphex Twin.
"Ephemeral" by Synaesthesia.

EDIT:
The following lines appeared in my post without me having written them

I would say ambient works from 92-till 200whatever. I think the second album is more relaxing (I have done several research papers to it....

 

[oosoo]

For me it's often 12k all the way. Especially the works of Taylor Deupree and Frank Bretschneider. Both have recordings for other labels too, including raster.

 

[Oink1]

Vangelis?...

 

[scamper]

I used to fall asleep to Diamanda Galas "Saint of the Pit" in college...that was mostly to annoy my roommate though.

Philip Jeck -- 7

One of the tracks gets into noise territory, but much of the rest is ambient and at least somewhat peaceful. Been good work music for the last couple days.
