Recommendations for relaxing music please!

Julee Cruise 'Floating into the Night'

Selected tracks from 'Jonathan Livingston Seagull' and 'Local Hero' are soothing/soporific too

Thanks, have added julee cruise to queue

Sorry, are the other two albums? Who by? Struggling to locate on spotify

Thanks,

Ben

Sorry, they are film soundtracks, artists involved include Neil Diamond and Mark Knopfler

There were a few 'local hero' albums and I was hoping it would be the mark knopfler one I will add this to the q to listen to, many thanks.

Silk road2 is one of my favourites,but then there are so many to be honest....one of his albums(Tenku) starts wi a lil baby crying...

He uses a vast aray of percusion,from eastern to western....some incredible symphs....and lots of nature sounds,worht a listen

Great, thanks. I listened to and very much enjoyed one of the many live albums, I will check these out too

Try the track Waiting For Cousteau by Jean Michel Jarre from the album of the same name. It's a 46 minute track which is about as relaxed as you can get.

I was enjoying Oxygene before going to bed last night, so I will check this out too, thanks David.

I'm not a fan of JMJ myself, but a colleague was at the first place I worked at, so I used to hear his stuff by default, and ended up buying this album as it was a decent demo disc at the time. I used to use this track to fall asleep to!

I would highly recommend the Dead Can Dance back catalogue which is available on Spotify.

Hope all goes well with the new arrival.

Establish control over the little blighter immediately. If it is clean, fed and not unwell then if it is still bawling let it carry on, DON'T PICK IT UP. This way you will establish who is boss and have decent sleep patterns. It may seem harsh but it works and is better for you and the baby.

Congrats by the way and I hope everything goes well.

:cheers:

+1 but also:

don't tiptoe around it either. Do the vacuuming, play your music etc. and let junior get used to that "ambient noise"

all the best

You might also try some tracks from Low by David Bowie, on vinyl it was side 2.

 

[Ravey Gravey Davy]

The Last resort- The Eagles (and lots of others by them if you want a bigger list)

Girl in motion- Nils Lofgren

Any Enya/Clannad

Time in a bottle- Jim Croce(plus several others)

Some James Taylor/Jim Reeves/Nat King Cole

and Opeth for the birth so you don't hear her scream "will you **** off with the breathing advice,and bite a chunk off your arm.

(yes I got that)

Ben, I wish you and your family well, congratulations.

I highly recommend The KLF "Chill Out".

Needs to be heard all the way through but soothing as well as giving you something to concentrate on and really listen to.

Only problem is I'm not sure it's on Spotify and can't check as don't use it.

Other recommendations are Enigma, Deep Forest (wow, they take me back) Chicane "Behind The Sun" and Enya.

Best wishes

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

Brian Eno - An Ending (Ascent)

Just beautiful

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

David Sylvian - Silver Moon

Equally beautiful.

A lot of Sylvian's stuff is extremely chilled, I especially like the Gone To Earth and Secrets Of The Beehive albums.

This Mortal Coil - Song To The Siren

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

Talk Talk - Spirit Of Eden album

Thank you

Can't find any full albums by the KLF unfortunately, just appear on a few compilations. Have 3 albums by Enigma, and Le Roi Est Mort Vive Le Roi is one of our favourite albums, I'm thinking it may be a little intense (even in a kind of mellow way) but I will listen again and check. I will look into the others, thanks
