that gavin bryars album has brought me to tears on more than one occasion. it's beautiful.

Anxiety said:

Absolutely. I almost hate to say this because I really despise new-agey wooley-headedness, but that album's had a recuperative effect on me at times.

Anxiety said:

I think I get too engrossed in the first half of the album; I'd never be able to sleep with this playing. "The Feeling Begins" makes my heart pound; it's just that intense.

yeah, weird stuff tends to put me to sleep. i like really complex albums when i'm going to sleep to music, because it's like counting sheep - i start paying attention to all the little details in the music, and WHAMMO - i'm asleep. this album is perfect for that...but i'm sure other people might want something a little simpler.

i rather like Spiritualized's Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space.

its got a few nice ones like stay with me and cool waves.

I can't fall asleep to music at all.

In fact it baffles me how you all do it.

Rabbit-proof fence might be more for sleeping?

me neither, though I have no trouble falling asleep during a movie, such as the bank job or hellboy 2

Not during a movie either....well....not unless I'm really tired....I think.

anc282 said:

which I am usually, I can't watch a whole movie if it starts later than 9pm these days

Massive Attack
Portishead
Enigma
Cafe Del Mar (all volumes)

Anxiety said:

I think "Zaar" and "Bread and Wine" are good for that purpose. "A Different Drum" and "The Feeling Begins," as well as the title track, aren't.

Brilliant, brilliant album. If my generation had any answer for A Love Supreme, this was it.

dowloaded the sountrack to 'gladiator' ...also a good late night one

i guess the more intense tracks on this album are like sleeping through a thunderstorm for me, which is another weirdo thing i like falling asleep to.
