Music To Dream With

Hello Lucid People,
I Often listen to entrancing ambient music to fall asleep to.
I was wondering if more of us do that? And what music they would advise to fall asleep to.

I love Ambient GOA trance music alot. Twilight admosphere it breathes.
Here are some arists and songs in particulair I listen to whilst falling asleep and while sleeping.

VibraSphere [ especially: The Big Sleep, Manzanilla (2005 mix), 33000 feet over ]
Sphongle
Enya [ especially: Caribbean Blue, Bouddicae ]
Amon Tobin [ especially: Dream Sequence, Penthouse ]
etc. I'll enter more artists/songs here later. Gotta go take a shower now :P

Please share with us your favourite ambient music to fall asleep to.

Sphongle a Mindfuck? well defenitely not to me. I find it very calming and helps me get into ''Night-mode'' when I can't get no sleep again due to my Insomnia.

You've summoned the groove guru haha. Michael Hewett, Peter Gabriel, Moby, Ottmar Liebert, Some of Aphex Twin, Andreas Vollenweider, Yanni, and thats just to name a few.

I second Enya, and I also like Andrew Bird for dreaming. Along with anything instrumental and much of the stuff from the 60s.

Can't forget enya :)

Enya is wonderfull, Definitely the most Mellow Celtic Music ever. Dan Brown also makes such perfect Meditative Celtic Ambient Sounds. Thought he'd be worth Mentining. I know a Dutch Celtic band named Omnia who make some nice Celtic melodies too. I love playing Celtic folk on my Synthesizer. I'm going to look for a brand new Synthesizer today with better samples of Strings, Chellos, Piano...etc It'll be just great for Playing&Recording the best Ambient, Celtic Music. I'll post it in the '' Calling All Musicians''-Topic once it's done.

I'm also a big fan of ambient music! In fact, I was thinking of making a thread about this even before my account was cleared :) My collection is big enough to suit almost every mood I'm in, but it will never be big enough ^^. I have amonst others Makyo, Solar Fields, Asura, Ishq, Padmasana, Puff Dragon and lots more... though I reckon these names won't ring a bell with the majority of you since they are quite unknown. I also have a lot of mixed sets, compilations and more albums (includig a 4-hour (re)mixed set aptly named "Lucid Dreams" ^^ it contains many artists, including shpongle and ishq ;-)). Since I'm not particularly fond of most mainstream ambient music, mostly for its simplicity, I am always on the lookout for unknown ambient artists! I have some tips on where to get some of the ambient music I listen to but since I don't really know DV's opinion on exchanging download sources, I'll just stick to offering my msn address to anyone who is interested in exchanging some songs =)

Oh yeah, I also have about 15 gig of goa and psytrance if anyone's interested. As well as 120 gig more of all kinds of other music. I'm always in to try new music! So don't hesitate to take my offer ^^

p.s.: Yo SKA :) Dutch pride world wide!

p.p.s: Shpongle rules!

I used to fall asleep listening to death metal :D No serously, i did. Nile no less (a very heavy, "brutal" band). But i don't think that's ideal for most people. The last time i fell asleep with music on i was listening to Loreena McKennitt's album "The Book of Secrets". Some fantastic music right there! Unfortunately i can't find the CD anymore :( I'll have to go get it again.

im really diggin' this sts9 stuff man, its all super mellow.

I've recently been listening to the Infectious Grooves, well... they pwn. They are funk/metal band, but no I haven't fell asleep to them more than once which was not intended. I woud just use BWG if I wanted to.

Post Rock/Indie-
Mogwai, God Speed you Emperor, Broken Social Scene

Instrumentals-
Air, Death in Vegas

Ambient-
Harold Budd- Mysterious Skin Soundtrack
Sigur Ros
Moby

They soothe the spirit and refresh the psyche

Loreena Mckennit makes great music. Maybe you know a trak of her's called ''The Mystic's Dream'' It's really great.
Sigur Ros. Wasn't that the band with the Flutist as lead? I really love that. My dad owns an album of them.

PS: I find it easy to fall asleep to almoste verything, worst it will do is take me some more time to fall asleep. I used to fall asleep and wake up again to System of a Down - Steal this album! :content:

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Wortks 85 - 92

Most relaxing ambient album ever

Yeah i've got that track. The best one of hers i've heard is "Huron 'Beltane' Fire Dance" though, which is one of my favourite songs ever. Not necessarily sleeping music, but it's fantastic. Most of her music is so relaxing though that you could easily fall asleep to it.

Not sure if you mean Sigur Ros or Jethro Tull. I'm not that familiar with Sigur Ros, although i do have a handful of tracks. Jethro Tull are a great 70s prog rock band though, and the lead singer (Ian Anderson) plays flute. Not sure if Sigur Ros have a flutist as well *shrugs*

Psychic TV is a good one. And some Massive Attack. Dead Can Dance, and yeah, Enya rocks my ass.

In Kentucky, their music rocks! I always fall asleep to the stuff on "The Cat" But mostly to

Cheyenne- Hanging On

Kate Ingall- Big Black Horse and a Cherry Tree

Those I fall aslepp to (and dream) because I like them, but the rest of that rap crap I fall asleep and dream to because I hate it... Meh.

Some radiohead stuff is amazing relaxing music.

Amnesiac and kid a are two awesome albums for this.

I used to listen to a lot of loud music before bed but maiden and 'metallica just wherent relaxing enough,so now i have a playlist dedicated to all relaxing night time music, heres some of my favourites....

Feeder-"High"
Weezer-"Island in the sun"
Blur-"coffee and tv"
Radiohead-"Karma police"
David Gilmour-"On an island"
PINK FLOYD-"comfortably numb" now thats a good one.

andorf, Yes! I love that new David Gilmore album.

Theres some good REM stuff I fall asleep to sometimes, 'At My Most Beautiful' and 'Nightswimming' are both great.

Radioheads great.

Every one should buy Steve Vai's album 7th Songs. Very slow and relaxing.

My favorite is 'Flying in a Blue Dream' by one of the greatest guitarest of all time, Joe Satriani

I think Evanescence is great. Amy Lee has a very angelic and soothing voice. Try out My Immortal (Piano ONLY version).

Radioheads OK, I like "Talk Show Host". It's also from Romeo + Juliet (1996) with Leonardo DiCapitated.

R Carlos Nakai is good.
