Songs to relax and tune out to
 

Today was a long day and I just wanted something to listen to that I didn't have to give that much attention to but just could kind of relax with. I listened to Let's Talk About Cars by the Butthole Surfers (off the horrible Electriclarryland. It was good just because it was just relaxing and because the people in the song are talking in French and so I didn't pay attention to what they were saying. Anyway, long story short does anyone have any recommendations of songs like that?

sure. that reeeeeeeeally long stereolab song off of dots and loops. or jenny iodine or whatever it's called by stereolab that's like 20 minutes.

i chill out to squarepusher and stars of the lid usually.

tricky

I still ain't got any Butthole Surfers records. I saw an album of theirs on vinyl a few weeks ago but I think it was like $20Aus secondhand. So I declined the purchase for now.

I'd get hairway to steven!

Labradford - the whole Mi Media Naranja CD
Tortoise - Milions Now Living Will Never Die CD
Taylor Deupree/Christopher Willits collab CD
Stars of the Lid - Per Aspera Ad Astra
Philip Jeck - 7

the first song on that tortoise cd is so good. damn.

exactly, "Djed".

yes.

easily one of the best songs of all time.

Yeah, Tortoise is a good choice to relax, there's no lyrics. I'd choose TNT, the 1st track is awsome. Maybe the whole albums would be too much, a little bit boring.

Merzbow

Fennesz
Stars Of The Lid
Growing
The Orb

Low!

Thanks a lot. I've been meaning to get some Tortise, but I just haven't found time/money to get any of their stuff. I'll check that other stuff too once I get enough money.
