what do you listen to while sleeping or just really mellowing out

EyeballGrowth · 06.16.2006, 03:57 AM

I've been staying up late the last few nights to do some serious book reading, and I haven't been getting to bed until around 5 when the birds are just starting to sing. Last night it started raining heavily where I live, I listened to Future Sound of London ISDN, and the entire Lifeforms album while simultaneously listening to the rain and morning birds, while I was relaxing off to sleep. That was a great thing.

I've been brought up listening to Neil Young's 'After the gold rush' at bedtime.There isn't another record that puts me to sleep like that one.It's a musical teddy bear.

Yoshimi & Yuka - Flower With No Color

A collaboration between super-ace drummer/trumpeteer Yoshimi (of Boredoms and OOIOO), and NY/Jap ex-Cibo Matto performer Yuka Honda. Most of this was recorded on a field trip up Mount Fuji, and then taken back to the studio for processing. The end result is a mix of birdsong, distant trumpets, glockenspiel style percussion, and the odd wobbly vocal. Sometimes ambient, sometimes jazz-cool, sometimes ethnic Japanese and sometimes just plain oddball, this all combines to make a very mellow and organic sounding CD

I can fall asleep to anything.

Drum n Bass, Hardcore Techno, Metal, etc.

I like this album for little naps.

Please, will you stop saying stuff that I totally agree with. As far as I know I have no long-lost twin, and if you persist in pretending that you are one I shall have no alternative but to leave the board. So there!

porkmarras · 06.16.2006, 05:47 AM

Will your wife approve though?

sonicl · 06.16.2006, 05:49 AM

Oh yeah, the question...

"Post Rock" generally: Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai, Pelican, 65 Days of Static...

And the odd bit of "Chill Out": The Orb, Global Communication...

that's such a great album! "mow deck in eye" is a great track.

Thats very true. After the gold rush is by far his strongest album.

I also like listening to Dirty Threes' ocean songs.

No, but all being well my girlfriend and I are getting a place together later in the summer. The sale of my flat's going through at the moment, then she'll sell her place, and we'll get a small mansion* somewhere in Surrey.

* All this is true except the small mansion. It'll actually be a three bedroom semi.

It's surprising how good post-metal type music is at helping the drifting-off-to-sleep process. I guess that's easy to explain when it's drone-y type stuff, but I've been dozing off quite well to some stuff with fairly heavy riffs lately.
