this makes me recall old days of passing out to NPR....i remember waking up in the middle of the night a long ass time ago and they were playing some feature on NPR where they kept playing snips of the Dr. Octagon album, shit threw me for a loop!
While I was in Finland, I would hook up some mp3s to sleep to. Tracks were:
Metche Dershe - When am I going to reach there (Ethiopiques 4) Tezeta - Nostalgia (Ethiopiques 4) Arthur Verocai - Dedicada a ela Big Star - Holocaust Big Star - Thirteen Serge Gainsbourg - Cargo Culte Alain Goraguer - Ten et tiwa dorment (planete sauvage) Lee Gagnon - Reve l'amour absolu (jeremie) Chris Bell - You and your sister Leonard Cohen - Hey, that's no way to say goodbye Mazzy Star - Blue Light RAMP - Everybody Loves the sunshine Nick Drake - River Man Tim Buckley - Once I was Velvet Underground - Sunday Morning
Put on a record. Pass out. Wake up 10 hours later with the needle gnawing the runout groove. Needle gets old before it's time. Big
I do this all the time while traveling, wake up and the GP-3 is still spinnin' in the dead wax...kills batteries also
for the longest time...I would go to sleep to Harmonia, Klaus Shulze...until the last two times I have gone to sleep to kraut steez, my car as been broken into!! crazy..so now I only go to sleep to jazz...tryin to break the cycle of crime.
A friend and I brought these guys to town a few years a go and it was amazing. They did what all bands that sound like that shoud do ??? provided visuals. They ran three projectors with different coloured filters and it was just beautiful.
They are good sleepy-time music.
For me, it is classical Indian and Iranian music (anything with mellow sitar and santoor) and this record is pretty good, too:
Co-Sign on the Mazzy Star. I have been enjoying the Catpower Covers album also lately for sleepy music.
