For some reason blasting Techno music seems to relax me.
Although it makes most excited.

Folk, like the decemberists..

or definitely some Cat Empire especially the song "Lullaby"
Example:

The video really does it, too. xD

Ambient world music like Sigur Ros or Dead Can Dance

Ambient, Ambient, Ambient, Modern Classical, Progressive House, Smooth Jazz, New Age, World, etc.

I renege on my earlier post to say that sticking Pinback on shuffle is my ultimate calm-down, chill-out music.

If i start listening to any song by the Postal Service I am at ease, maybe excluding This Place is A Prison.

I listen to Myself breathing. I dont listen to music when I want to be calm, I listen to my heart, and my breathing.




No Im kidding. I listen to Cake. I dont know, his voice makes me calm.

Any classical, Regina Spektor, The La's, Zombies, Tom Waits, Sam Phillips, Belle and Sebastian.

I'm the same, although Dead Mau5's "Strobe" is the consistent bed time song I play to get to sleep/turn my mind off.
