Didn't find anything when I searched for this, so here we go:
I don't know about you, but I like to fall asleep/relax to music. I put together playlists of the most relaxing and soothing songs I can think of, and just set them on repeat upon going to bed. Here's my current list (limited it to one song per artist on this one): maudlin of the Well - (Interlude) 4 Panzerpappa - Apraxia Van Der Graaf Generator - My Room (Waiting for Wonderland) Magyar Posse - One By One Höyry-Kone - Beata Viscera Anekdoten - Prince of the Ocean Mono - A Heart Has Asked for the Pleasure Mothlite - Neverbegoodwood Talk Talk - New Grass David Sylvian - The Boy with the Gun Bo Hansson - Lothlorien Well, now it's your turn. Post your sleep/relax lists or your favourite chill-out songs. |

Hmmm...
-Any Ravi Shankar is good to relax too. Granted it makes me quite excited because there are so many awesome things going on, but at the same time I feel at peace. -Mwasha by Hamza El Din -Hymnspheres or Koln Concert by Keith Jarrett -Sigur Ros -Lester Young w/ the Oscar Peterson Trio -Oregon/Ralph Towner -Debashish Bhattacharya No particular songs really. Just certain artists make me feel quite relaxed. Can't sleep to it though. Too good to fall asleep to. |

I probably am not the best person to ask because I like taking naps listening to ObZen, but here's one of my things. Lately I have been listening to the tracks from "Lift your skinny fists..." by Godspeed you Black Emperor, in the dark in bed so I can fall asleep. There's a beautiful section in "Static" that is just so beautiful it makes me want to fall asleep, and I rarely can listen to music and want to go to bed. I just take a while to get to bed. But this song just overwhelmed me. "Antennas to Heaven" is a good track.
Oddly enough, IMO "Sleep" is the worst song on the album to go to bed to. -------------

I second Bo Hansson, Ur Trollarkens Hatt, Lord of the Rings, pretty much all that stuff does nicely for sleep.. also I used to drift off to Allan Holdsworth's Road Games though it's not a boring album at all |

The whole of side 1 of Santana's Caravanserai blends as one track and is music to dream by.Side 1 of Side 1 of Dylan's Pat Garrett is similarly pleasant.
After the Ordeal - Genesis
Echoes, Atom Heart Mother, Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun
Cal, Local Hero - Mark Knoppfler

Tangerine Dream Underwater Sunlight is one of the most relaxing albums I own, and obviously Echoes, but I cannot sleep listening to music. If I want to force my self to sleep I watch When Dreams May Come - I've never seen the second half of that film. ------------- What? |

Don't ever try to go to sleep with Amarok on either ( like forcing your head thru a blender)
Bo Hansson is a very good suggestion but mostly I hit random 60 minute sleep on Gigabeat and hope Amarok or GSYBE don't crop up! ------------- ...As I venture through the slipstream, between the viaducts in your dreams...[/COLOR] |

Same for me. I just lie awake listening to it. The changes and the intricacies of the music are far too distracting. I'd rather listen to Brian Eno or some other ambient electronic music, although someone mentioned David Sylvian; Secrets of the Beehive is a great album to drift off to. |

| Dark Side of the Moon does it for me. I'm usually gone by Great Gig in the Sky. |

I've often used that album. "Time" disturbs things a little though...  |

I like having the sleep fuction so the player turns off. sleep sets have changed over the years, it used to be New Chataqua by Pat Metheny, for a while Kitaro, the First Enigma album is very soothing though with Kitaro not Prog.
Recently I've found that Anesthetize is great for falling asleep to as the final section washes over you as counting waves of warm water. So many more...

I like this one. I knew this album wasn't as great as many say it is
 . But I thought Great gig would get you awake again, doesn't it ? I mean I would think there was a fire somewhere !I actually reviewed two albums that I connected with going to sleep. Those were Crossing the desert by Iris and Paragone by Paragone. But I have to warn for the first one: it does have some disturbing moments that would get you jump out of your bed. Nevertheless most of it is really soothing.
Paragone is really  . Still nice though.------------- A day without prog is a wasted day |
