Definitely the great Steve Reich.

Jan Garbarek, his unpredictable sax improv over the medievol chanting.

just go to gym for half an hour (an go on max.), then you'll dive in even with any of Thurston's solo impro. in your speakers, hehe.

sometimes The Orb's first album does it job.

I can't get to sleep very well. I would listen to music, which never seemed to affect me one way or the other, but now it would keep my fiancee up at night too.

Too much sleep by Bongwater is another good one.

val-holla-ing 07.16.2007 12:15 AM

i usually listen t growing or sade.

Dead-Air 07.16.2007 01:00 AM

Any of Eno's ambient albums can work for that - Shutov Assembly is perfect. Cluster would undoubtedly work well too along the same lines. Blue Bell Knoll by Cocteau Twins with Harold Budd (and really anything by him.) Deep Listening by Pauline Oliveros. Dreams Less Sweet by Psychic T.V. might work, and would certainly induce very interesting results if it did.

DJ Olive "Sleep" actually worked last night.
Thanks, sonicl!

Also, Francisco Lopez - "Untitled #89" and "La Selva"

something more ambient-driven by Philip Jeck too ("Stoke")

Turn the radio to static and put the volume low.

merzbow at atp a few years ago literally made me want to lay down and have a nap. you could see it in the audience, everyone was starting to flag.

nicfit 07.16.2007 08:06 AM

I find it interesting how both lulling melodies and pure noise can induce sleep.

I've been listening to 'Allegorical Misunderstanding' by Fushitsusha before bedtime for a few weeks. I find it's helping me to remember some dreams. Angus Maclise's 'Brain Damage in Oklahoma City' has a similar effect on me. At first I thought that they might cause me to have nightmares, but their influence has been overall positive.......for now.

Eno
 
I've been using Brian Eno's "Thursday Afternoon" for YEARS! Still use it to this day. Every once in awhile I throw in Ravi Shankar & Ali Akbar Khan's "Ragas" for good measure. My cat seems to LOVE sitar.

it's been said like ten times already, but definetly stars of the lid

to go with the ambient theme, fennesz and tim hecker sometimes make me pass out. junior boys aswell, not so much So this Goodbye, but Last Exit can make you sleepy sometimes

the microphones can makes you tired, depending on the album, like the glow pt. 2, excluding the end when the album gets louder and faster

Sung Tongs by Animal Collective is good fer sleepin

youthoftomorrow 07.17.2007 12:29 AM

Dopesmoker by, fittingly, Sleep. heavy as hell, but slow, repetitive and looong.

val-holla-ing 07.17.2007 01:27 AM

i actually wanted to suggest some Sleep, but i thought it'd be too obvious.
