My sleep playlist is as follows

Bad Plus - Flim
Shuttle 358 - Finch
Debussy - Danseuses De Delphes
Alice Coltrane - Journey Into Satchidananda
McCoy Tyner - Naima
Brian Eno - Deep Blue Day
Tim Hecker - Ghost Writing
July Skies - Coastal Stations
Harold Budd - Arabesque 2
Brian Eno - 1/1

and works a treat

Also, check out The Lowlight Mixes blog, plenty of great ambient mixes to drift off to

Fuck, I was going to mention Tim Hecker but you got there before me. He's a friend of my teacher's.

Dettinger
Tim Hecker
Plug
Earth (newer material)

dj olive - sleep

beautiful

Labradford - Mi Media Naranja

I mentioned Tim Hecker pages ago.

Anyway.... CALIFORNIA GUITAR TRIO's gentle sounds touch my soul.

I fell asleep to the first cLOUDDEAD album once.

Also listening to Low would probably help. Very soothing.

Whoah, do not listen to Plug if you intend on sleeping!

YES!

i taught myself to survive a four story fall,
wearing a space suit and a dead englishman's socks.
it's a textbook procedure kid,
right out of the pages of the hollowed out book
where i once hid my paint speckled glasses.
don't lose your shoes over such a simple step as hitting ground.
just remember to roll, just remember to roll...

clouddeads ten - is more kind of the waking up, putting the record on, falling a sleep again record LOVE IT

global communications 76`14

Except the track with the ticking clock

Edison, I fixed my glasses like new!

Do YOU know how many times I've thought about writing about the paper I'm writing on?

Paul Schutze's "Apart" contains some pretty good stuff.

Yes she is relaxing.

One of the DJ Olive ones mentioned early on:

For my money, Keiji Haino/Nijiumu - Era Of Sad Wings is the ultimate sleep album. Can't count how many times I've drifted off to that. As a result, although I love it, I'm only actually really familiar with the first half of the album...

The Cure - Disintegration
Laura Veirs - Year of meteors

galaxie 500

bedhead

Somnium by Robert Rich is perfect.

Sundog Peacehouse - Brosound

A recent discovery. Nearly perfect for all fans of drone/ambient music

When I lie down at night with headphones, just about ANY music will put me to sleep. It's just that I wake up as it ends then have trouble falling back.

However, I'd suggest Music for Airports by Brian Eno.

no contest:

lustmord

Can't be arsed reading 6 pages, but surely someone has said Eno's Ambient 1 by now? That's actually the most-played album on my computer after I put it on just about every night for 6 months...

Tunnels.

They sent me to sleep, and rarely woke me up, last night.

Loveless usually puts me to sleep, generally the only reason I listen to it these days is when I can't sleep. Them playing a riff over and over and over and over makes me phase out.

I second the Galaxie 500 stuff. So relaxing and dreamy.

Faith by The Cure is a really moody album that is slow paced and builds up to things. If I'm even a little tired and I listen to it I slowly drift off.

~Jeremy~

sleeping to Loveless??? blasphemy! hahaha

i sleep to music everynight and i tend to use alot of Morcheeba, Brian Eno, Portishead, Tangerine Dream... even Joni Mitchell's album Mingus is really soothing

I've had serious problems with my sleep,

Listening to most of Porn Sword Tobaccos records helped a lot.
A good recomendation for those who wants to fall asleep..but we're all different so I can't promise anything.

hardfuckingcore sleeping music you got there.

I like listening to artists that focus around looping for sleep induction... William Basinski, and even some of Xenakis' works if you find the right tracks.

couldn't resist

also Fripp & Eno would probably be good

I have been listening to Fripp/Eno's ''Evening Star'' regularly before falling asleep, recently.

Iasos In Headphones

I recorded Papa M a couple weeks ago, they were supporting Dirty Three. Didn't like their performance much. But the recording is great music to put me to sleep. One tone looped, then another tone, etc etc etc
It's David Pajo, formerly in Slint.
