Sleep music

[brink's]

Do you guys have any good music that provokes tiredness or sleep? I'm not talking about music that is so boring it's coma inducing. It can be from any genre, with or without lyrics, but, i would prefer a song with a line like "go to sleep"etc.

thx guys.

Anything by Mum, most of Boards of Canada, Mogwai, Moby is relaxing, Sigur Ros and Radiohead all come to mind.

Qonfucius just named off my sleep playlist.


I've noticed that when I sleep to music I dream much more vividly.

Some Boards of Canada stuff certainly. And Aphex Twin's SAW2 (Selected Ambient Works, Vol. 2) seems to be in over half of my recommendations these days. The latter is a must, really.

Between Interval also has some great stuff. While it's arguable that it's better suited for chilling rather than sleeping, some of it is just hypnotic and capable of lulling me into a daze even when I'm awake and sober.

 

[CyberPitz]

Midnless Self Indulgence...kind of weird how I fall asleep to it so well.

 

[Kouler]

Definately works by Aphex Twin, as others have mentioned

 

[Solaris]

Beethoven's symphony no.9, although it's pretty hard to fall asleep listening to something that good.

 

[AntiAnto]

"Regeneration" by The Divine Comedy
Anything by Boards of Canada
Anything by Radiohead

 

[Narcolepsy]

Some more ethereal stuff...

• Hilary Stagg
• 2002
• Secret Garden
• Solitudes Series: Stream of Dreams

 

[Pulse]

Incubus - Aqueous Transmission [highly recommended]
Opeth - Atonement, Harvest etc.
Kyuss - Space Cadet (Great chilled acoustic song)
Air - Any song really.

Another vote for Boards of Canada, and one for Brian Eno's Ambient albums.. well, Ambient 1: Music For Airports and Ambient 4: On Land, I haven't listened to the others...
I also use selected bits of Goldfrapp, Grandaddy, Nick Drake, and Air.

 

[Max35]

Well, Mudvayne does have that song "Fall Into Sleep"....although it doesn't really inspire sleep.

 

[Ennui]

certain radiohead songs, aphex twin's SAWII and possibly a few other tracks by him as well, most of boards of canada's stuff, some of brian eno (I love some of his stuff, but some of the rest is kind of weird and lame), the soundtrack to the movie Monster by BT, shpongle turned down a little

 

[Absinthe]

AFX's first selection of ambient works ('85-'92) has some great stuff. Certainly less sublte than SAW2, but very dreamy (Xtal), colorful (Pulsewidth), and hypnotic (Tha).

They played a few tracks from it before the NIN concert I went to, and it was just surreal. This sort of low, bassy, calm before the storm kind of shit where half the audience was just entranced.

 

[Lucid]

Explosions in the Sky.
Most of the stuff on Oasis's Be Here Now album makes me a bit drowsy.
Heather Dale - Mordred's Lullaby

 

[Steven]

Beethoven's symphony no.9, although it's pretty hard to fall asleep listening to something that good.

Yeah, that music is such an eargasm you woulden't be able to fall asleep. Just try out some of the more quiet sounding Classical music, it can really calm you down when your hyper.

 

[Space Farm]

Funnily enough there's a band called Sleep. They once put out an album that went for an hour and contained one slow, heavy long song that contained a couple of riffs...Dopesmoker.

 

[sinkoman]

I used to listen to the Coldplay album Parachutes allot when I slept.

 

[CrazyHarij]

where to begin?

Incubus - Aqueous Transmission [highly recommended]

Amen to that. Are You In, Echo, Quicksand and The Warmth are also good choices by Incubus.

Anything from Boards Of Canada, and some of the quieter stuff from Explosions In The Sky (whos latest album is just awesome, but not sleep material).

Also some stuff from Coldplay (Fix You, The Scientist etc). I used to slap Rush Of Blood To The Head on with some mates after a hard night out or a serious drinking game(s) session, and we'd all be asleep by the time the 5th song had finished.
