5. The Hands That Built America - U2

6. Cloud Watch - Lol Hammond

7. Ruby Tuesday (Rolling Stones Cover) - Franco Battiato

I advise you, if you like it of course:

In my heart

Fireworks

Signs of love

 

If I think of some others, I'll tell you.

Aphex Twin - Avril 14th

Well, if you're talking relaxing music, may i suggest that Sigur Ros be included? Samsketyi, from the () album has got to be on there.

Hmmm..is this the "official" cping mixtape?

:confused:

 

Cos I've got a song to share :D

Nah...I'd rather wait for the official one. Cos this one's from a Croatian artist (instrumental)

Coldplay - For You

makes me sleep each time i listen to it.

(which isn't really bad)

Sigur Ros - Untitled 3 AKA Samsketyi AKA the good night song. you wont stand a chance against it :wacko:

One word:

 

Eluvium

William Orbit - Adagio for Strings.

anything by boards of canada

9. Fred Jones, Part 2 - Ben Folds

 

By Moby

Everloving

 

Those happen to be two of my favorite songs ever. :)

Hands that Built America, good choice. I was thinking about that song today oddly enough.

 

I fall asleep to Funeral quite often. I'm usually out by Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles).

Easy to Please - Coldplay

 

Us and Them - Pink Floyd

 

Make This Go On For Ever - Snow Patrol

 

Tears In Heaven - Eric Clapton

 

The First Time - U2

 

i think that should do

alright I needed to bump this thread...

 

the last week or two I've put on Alex & Jonsi's album Riceboy Sleeps and honestly it helps me fall asleep so much quicker.

 

There haven't been too many albums I've listened to to put me to sleep.

 

Also I've tried Brian Eno's Apollo Atmospheres & Soundtracks, which is good too.

Videotape - Radiohead

Samkeyti - Sigur Ros

Wide Awake On The Voyage Home - Liam Finn

Cymbal Rush - Thom Yorke

 

Or most other Sigur Ros songs <3

have you listened to Jonsi & Alex's album?

No, but I plan to.

you seriously need to!

 

but if you do listen to it before you go to sleep... does the trick to make you tired ahah (though that's not a bad thing)

I second riceboy sleeps. Much of the other stuff people are mentioning are just quiet songs by rock bands, I need something more ambient to get to sleep like:

 

Brian Eno: 1/1, 2/2, An ending (ascent), First Light

 

Eluvium: zerthis was a shivering human image, I am so much more me that you are perfectly you,

 

Hammock: pretty much anything

 

Classical: preludes and nocturnes by debussy, gymnopedies and nocturnes by eric satie.

^ahh... An Ending (Ascent)... great and chill song. how about Deep Blue Day?

 

what are some good relaxing eno albums?

the soft lazy warmth of Parachutes, Coldplay

 

and the melodic but barely audible Iron and Wine

 

and World Spins Madly On by The Weepies

^second deep blue as well... or for that matter, anything off to apollo atmospheres.

 

For sleeping, Eno's Apollo Atmospheres, ambient 1: music for airports, ambient 2: the plateau of mirror and The Pearl (the latter-two are collabs with harold budd and feature great piano) are perfect.

I also find some songs off of Another Green World to have a unique ambience as well.
