What Type of Music Relaxes You the Most?

Young Marble Giants.

Lovely female vocals, smooth and catchy basslines and not much else. Perfect relaxant!

Anything that I enjoy relaxes me the most. Stuff that should be relaxing, like Ambient style music or Classical I find really boring at the best of times, and if I was raging about something they'd only get me more annoyed and on edge. If I dont like listening to it I'd never find it relaxing, no matter how soothing it should be

Trance. It could send me to sleep. Combined with soft lyrics = <3

I've downloaded a bit of Chinese and Korean traditional music lately which I've been relaxing to during these stressful last few weeks. It's not music I've ever really listened before but I'm enjoying it.

Drone, classical, noise, and oriental/meditation music.

One suggestion: Jean Michel Jarre's Waiting for Cousteau. The fourth track from the album with the same name (1990). 47 minutes of relaxing music.

When I'm trying to be in a peaceful mood, I try to listen to light classical music or smooth jazz. I like to listen to anything without lyrics to help me use imagery when I go to sleep.

Brian Eno: Thursday afternoon

Miles Davis: Bitches Brew, Kind of Blue, Sketches of Spain

Joni Mitchell: Hejira

Bill Laswell & Jah Wobble: Radioaxiom: A dub Transmission

And one amazing song, very peaceful:

Norah Jones can be quite relaxing. Chopin has some very soothing melodies.
