Music to fall asleep to
 

Just curious as to what electronica tune you like to fall asleep to?

mine?

don't know the artist but it goes by

tranceclassics- galaxia...

soo chill..mm love it so

or anything cafe del mar

chicane, ulrigh shnauss, boards of canada are the 3 big name bands I can think of... have another 10 albums of random light stuff that is nice to chill out to.

(i don't fall asleep to music these days... i read a book till i pass out)

Stereolab is pretty chill (kinda electronica)

I've been meaning to get more into electronica since I started getting these Wire magazines, they've got a ton of great stuff, but MB isn't really heavy on it, so getting my hands on it might be tricky.

*ulrich schnauss. and yes; he's very good sleepytime music. currently one of my favorite artists.

m83

seconded. there must be another 'music to sleep to' thread because i remember posting m83...

The non electro hardcore stuff from Idiot Pilot is good, I bought their album and then downloaded it onto 2 seperate disks so I could have the hardcore songs on one disk and the electronica ones on the other.

Ulrich Schnauss is awesome. i can fall asleep to anything :)

team sleep

maybe. They might be my favorite band right now. Any sort of shoegaze band is amazing.

so true.

I went to sleep listening to Boards of Canada's Geogaddi...excellent album to fall asleep to!!!!

Twelfth Night

anything Ambient, Shoegaze, or post-rock is generally pretty promising. I think I've fallen asleep to Loveless more than any other album, with Music For Airports getting a lot of plays as well.

No, the vocals alone are enough to keep me away from sleep.

Anyway basically what cardboard said, I usually sleep to Sigur Ros.

oh yeah, those instrumental's lyrics really keep me up at night.

Wow, just wow. If you're going to pretend to like a band for cred or whatever you could at least listen to them once or twice to make sure you have a vague idea of what they sound like. Turn mute off and listen to this wannabe elitist.

Gas - Pop

Every night.

Disc 2 of Moby's Hotel album.

eluvium


greatest ambient artist, period

Eluvium is really good, but how about Eno?

Eluvium tops him, in my opinion, namely in breadth and musicality. Eno's stuff is mostly pads on loop. At least Eluvium adds the classical element to it with his piano.

Touche.

His latest album is really really good. By him, I mean Eluvium.

Do you mean Copia? Or his track off his split with Jesu? I didn't care for the latter. "The Well Meaning Professor" is still my favorite song of his. It possesses a majesty unheard of in most modern music.

Copia. I really enjoyed it. Probably in my top 15 or 20 albums of the year so far.

Anything by Michael Luckner, Boards of Canada, Ulrich Schnauss, and of course Pink Floyd

I dunno, Brian Eno is fine for me. Especially some of the stuff he contributed to 28 Days Later.

An Ending (Ascent), yeah that song is brilliant.

^I was disappointed they used the SAME song in 28 Weeks Later.

I don't remember them using it in the sequel.

Fat Freddy's Drop is helping me through recently.

Very good choice, I listen to them a lot before sleeping as well as a few The Dear Hunter songs, and EITS.

A Posteriori, The 2006 album by Enigma.

Very spacey and (for me) dream inducing...

Try the band Trance Lucid
