Sleep music!

[SamEyes]

This might've been done, but I couldn't see a similar thread,

Just wondering what people have been falling asleep listening to recently? I tend to listen to odd stuff to get me to sleep so thought I'd share a couple haha.

Anberlin - Cities,
Say Anything - In Defense of the Genre,
Owl City - Maybe I'm Dreaming,
Brand New - Deja Entendu,

Anyone got any "sleep albums"?

[swt_catastrophe]

see in the right-hand corner where it says "search"?

I did search, I must've missed that one, don't ask how 'cos I realise how obvious it is now haha.

Anyway I said ALBUMS not songs haha. Kinda different enough maybe?

[versus_god]

I used to fall asleep listening to The Broadways' Broken Star. I don't know why. Totally.

[funkel]

Helios' Eingya ftw.

[swt_catastrophe]

EITS' the earth is not a cold dead place

[SamEyes]

I've not heard of any of these so far, which is brilliant, love hearing new music suitable for sleeping to haha.

Keep 'em coming :-)

[underthetalking]

Explosions in the Sky - The Rescue

Some songs aren't good for sleeping but quite a few of them are chill as fuck.

[IWasaCamera]

Nick Drake, Iron & Wine, Leonard Cohen, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Coltrane, The Cinematic Orchestra, Steve Reich, Brian Eno, Brightblack Morning Light, Talk Talk, Fennesz, etc.

Pretty much folkish singer-songwriters, jazz, and ambient/instrumental stuff.

[chipdip18]

Elvis Presley.

Nick Drake is brilliant to fall asleep to, Five Leaves Left should be up there in my list.

Pink Moon too of course.

[captainamazing4]

nick drake is obviously your best choice, but if i had to put up something a little different on this list...i'm gonna have to go with the new frontiers - mending

[Getup and Dance]

Converge

[SamEyes]

Pink Moon too of course.

Yeah, I'm a relative newcomer to his music and have listened more to Five Leaves Left, but I like all I've heard.

[BlahBleh]

American Football

[murrich]

Beach House
Neil Young
Angus and Julia Stone
Xavier Rudd
Portishead

Sigur Ros
These all work for me.

[swt_catastrophe]

r. carlos nakai

i know it's always my answer to these sorts of threads, but it's really really good & works wonders. the classical jazz trained native american flute player. so beautiful

[swt_catastrophe]

never had that privelege
next time they're in town. go.
you won't regret it.

[LastDeclaration]

Codeseven - Dancing Echoes/Dead Sounds

Definitely not any of their older albums though, hah.

[wewascontenders]

i prefer silence to sleep. but the alway open mouth has put me to sleep twice. not even a shot at the band, i love that album, just puts me out.

[Renee]

yeah, i need little to no noise in order to sleep.

[SamEyes]

you haven't heard of explosions in the sky, really?

Just listening to Explosion in the Sky and wowww, this stuff is amazing.

Definitely sleep music haha, good call! I'll give them a try soon too!

[myplanforescape]

My Bloody Valentine- Loveless

[ForeverDelayed]

Low, Mazzy Star, most Red House Painters stuff, Spacemen3/Spiritualized, and Harmony Rockets (Mercury Rev side project). Basically anything slow, soft, spacey, and pretty will do the trick. Of course when I'm in the mood, these exact same bands can hold my attention and keep me fascinated.

[ForeverDelayed]

My Bloody Valentine- Loveless
Good call. Add that to my list.

[funkel]

Can you send me something of his? I can't find anything by him online.

[thesafeword]

Nick Drake. It's so relaxing and beautiful.

[ashez]

joy division
angus and julia stone

[LamarVannoy]

Brand New - Deja Entendu
because its so boring?

[CrenshawPunch]

because its so boring?

Fail. The Brand New trashing is tired and old. Find a new band to hate.

[SamEyes]

because its so boring?

BORING?!

Haha, have you heard that album?!

[OdeToTheSun]

Cannibal Corpse

[Regards]

Converge
qft. I almost died putting Converge in at night while driving becuase I couldn't stay awake.

[Miss Heartcore]

Norah Jones

[ugman_2000]

Jose Gonzalez, Zero 7, Air are all pretty good artists to sleep to but I listen to all sorts of stuff at night when trying to sleep - I find it hard to sleep if It's total silence - my mind tends to wander

[absolutecrunk]

NIN- Ghosts

[Circa1628]

I usually fall asleep listening to Thrice-Air

[Tristan Needler]

Eluvium. I forget the name of the album.

Sigur Ros too, sometimes.

[kitti_katt420]

any Mazzy Star usually does it for me, or Susanna and the Magical Orchestra.


or the Cowboy Junkies--The Trinity Sessions.

[voncorn]

NIN- Ghosts

29 Ghosts IV ftw.

Corona Radiata off of The Slip puts me to sleep, then the last 3 seconds of the track wakes me the fuck up!

[Klatzke]

Minus the Bear - Planet Of Ice

Idiot Pilot - Wolves

[Matthew Tsai]

explosions in the sky are generally overrated, but it's excellent sleep music.

best band to sleep to?

hammock

myspace.com/hammock i believe

you can hardly hear anything. it's just distant ambient drones

[Praetor]

Hammock - Kenotic
Helios - Eingya
Brian Eno - Ambient 1 - Music For Airports (my music theory teacher this year loves Eno and talking with him and listening to this album with him has given me a new found appreciation for his work.)

[brokenmixtape]

American Analog Set

[checkered.stars]

Songs: Ohia
Thee More Shallows
Patrick Watson

[Chromefox]

I can't fall asleep to music. I'd much prefer to listen to it than be asleep to it.

[IWasaCamera]

Aside from the 60's and 70's stuff, most of what I listen to can be played in this context.

[LV03]

sigur ros - ()
brand new - devil and god...
the jealous sound - kill them with kindness

Worst album to fall asleep to ever (because of the really-soft-to-insanely-loud-and-noisy dynamic that crops up in like half the album.)

[LamarVannoy]

BORING?!

Haha, have you heard that album?!
yes, i have actually. i wanted to know what all the fuss was about so i listened to some of it and i just found it really boring.

[lolliot]

These days I often fall asleep to The National - Boxer. It's just a perfect night-at-fall-album.

I've probably fallen asleep to Elliott Smith more nights than any other artist though, and I suspect that number will only continue to climb.

[SamEyes]

Haha, plus if one of the channels on your amplifier is screwed and you only get the left, that untitled track is SO fucking scary.

I genuinely thought aliens were landing outside my room and trying to reach me through my speakers, what a scary night.

[LV03]

I know what you mean...but I keep the volume on pretty low, so it isn't too bad.

[myplanforescape]

I can see Bowery Electric being good for this too.

[Smash Adams]

underoath

[Miss Heartcore]

underoath
You would.

[make_this_hurt]

Sigur Ros does it for me.

[AP_Punk]

magrudergrind

[Jumpoff]

Joy Division

[xxemo_kittyxx]

It depends on my mood, sometimes I can fall asleep while listening to metal.

[SwiftSilentDead]

Lately, I've been falling asleep to Broadway Calls and Kid Dynamite

[WhitestKidUKnow]

Worst album to fall asleep to ever (because of the really-soft-to-insanely-loud-and-noisy dynamic that crops up in like half the album.)

agreed

i'm going to have to go with sufjan's michigan

[Rodeo]

Dredg - "el cielo"

[mattmatumbo]

sometimes dillinger escape plan, other times funeral diner, on occasion russian circles; but lately its been this will destroy you.

[ship of fools]

i fell asleep to Liam and Me's There's a Difference and Spill Canvas' One Fell Swoop a lot. That was before Thrice's Water EP came out. That thing takes you a million miles from home floating in a peaceful ocean falling asleep. I love it.

[loveisdead]

North-Something Corporate

[Genuma]

I fall asleep to really heavy music. It works.

[SamEyes]

I fall asleep to really heavy music. It works.

Yeah, cures headaches too.

[swt_catastrophe]

Sigur Ros does it for me.
yes.

i start zoning out everytime i listen to it.

i adore soco, but to fall asleep to?
i don't think that would work for me.

[Kid B]

NIN- Ghosts
This, Pink Moon, EITS, Pink Floyd, and Sigur Ros.

[Kid B]

I watch Friends on DVD almost every night though. I pretty much need that or it takes me forever to fall asleep. I can't fall asleep to silence. I think too much.

[thesafeword]

Same here on the thinking too much part.

[BSS182]

Live albums are what I fall asleep to!!!!

Or even some Incubus.

[loveisdead]

i adore soco, but to fall asleep to?
i don't think that would work for me.


close your eyes, and i will be swimming
lullaby's fill your room, and i will be singing
singing to only you
dont forget ill hold your head
watch the night sky fading red
I'm knocked out by the time he finishes that verse.

[partyboi009]

everything in transit and conversely i wake up to narrow stairs
