unique, addictive and sublime. the music is so dreamy its unreal. very laid back and melodic. The french duo also use Beth Hirschs gorgeous vocals in a couple of tracks.

ambient - techno - trance. whatever it is, its like having dolphins swimming in your brain.


artist: Various Mixed By Dave Seaman

album: Real Ibiza 4: Balearic Bliss

need an album with those gentle melodies stemming warm sounds and vibes to remaind me of the time spent on the island of love

artist: Michael Jones and David Darling
album: Amber

Music for piano and chello. The musical theme follows a rainy afternoon into the evening. It is my favorite album to listen to when I write.

artist: Gustav Holst
album: The Planets

Moving and very dynamic. Holst captures the spirits of the planets and their mythological characters. I'll listen to it in the dark, resting in my easychair.

Orbital - Middle of Nowhere

Plastikman - Sheet One

Jonnie Aluani and his Orchestra - Hawaiian Interlude

The Ventures - Walk Don't Run

Chet Atkins - The Guitar Genius

Whenever I am working on something or just feel like laying down and relaxing and listening to something I will put one of those on.

Theo Angelopopolodopilopolous or something like that: Soundtrack to Ulysses's Gaze. Lots of cello. A cool theme that runs through the whole album. Almost, but not quite, a downer.

Mingus: Pithecanthropus Erectus. A jazz tone poem about the rise and fall of mankind.

or some Wes Montgomery something or other.

Thelonius Monk Quartet - "Monk's Dream"

One of the best albums I have ever heard, and it's sooooooo soothing and relaxing.

strangely enough i find Type O Negative's October Rust very relaxing, its the whole keyboard thing.

Other albums would be The ChillOut Album, does exactly what it says on the box.

Air- Moon Safari, cos it is so dreamy.

Moby-Play, not the all the tracks are chill out but some of them are definitely chill out tunes.

Hmm... Wish I had a Dead Can Dance album.. that would be nice.

Anyway, here's what I've got:

Enya - (pretty much anything, but I usually stick with Paint the sky with stars)

Cranberries - No need to argue

Theatre of Tragedy - Theatre of Tragedy

Emiliana Torrini - Love in the Time of Science

Bjork - (again, anything... most recently Selmasongs)

Mind you, what soothes me is sometimes different from what soothes others.

Possibly maybe.
