    Anything not on vinyl.



    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



    or



    Wake up 10 hours later with the needle gnawing the label. Needle is outta here. Even bigger

    (personal experience)



    Not a problem with automatic turntables, but with an SL12xx you can't doze off, unfortunately. I usually put on a mix, mp3s, DAT, Minidisc, whatever. Anything that I can leave unattended.



    Something like:

    Jesus Blood Never Failed Me Yet is one of the most amazing tracks I own. I burned it on CD and it goes on for 20 minutes. Starts out very mellow and reaches a crecendo before returning to its original mellow state.

    Listening to it whil high and sleepy is like being at the gates of heaven

    My roommate has been using Music For Airports every single night for two years now.

    I used to use an Environments "Acoustically Ultimate Seashore" (yes really) CD until I lived by the ocean for a year... And since then I have never had too many problems sleeping with or without music or waves or anything else.

  • BrianBrian 7,618 Posts
    I don't have the vinyl and probably will never have it since kids tend to bid like crazy whenever it shows up on eBay and I doubt I can find it here.

    There is a story in the liners about when they first looped that up in an art studio and took off to get some coffee-when they came back all the student artists are all quietly weeping to themselves. The loop is from an unused piece of film-its just some old homeless dude [i think they call them tramps in england]. singing this little hymm. Damn, dudie is old, stepped on and out on the streets and talking bout jesus blood never failed him. powerful stuff.

    Ha, I think most reggae records do that!

    But seriously, 2 much weed + 2 much beer = strongest buzz I've ever had, and I've done most of the rest. Just not sure if the intensity is in any way enjoyable. More of a test of nerve vis-a-vis not blowing chunks.

    Also, weed + making beats can make me pass out after a while. I need to sequence more, loop less.

    Powerful stuff indeed. When I first got this LP I felt compelled to post about it and include an MP3. Though I have not cried while listening to this I can easily see how people could. The emotion in that tramps voice is heartbreaking. if you don't get a chill in your spine hearing this there may be something wrong with you.

    quite simply one of the most amazing pieces of music these ears have ever heard

    though i no longer sleep to music, it was a nightly routine in high school. my favourites back then were

    aphex - SAW2, melodies from mars
    julie doiron and the wooden stars
    sea and cake - the fawn
    my bloody valentine - loveless
    tortoise - millions now living....
    boards of canada - twoism
    stars of the lid


    now id probably make a mix of real slow jazz shit like horace silver - nobody knows or pharoah's japan. but i havent felt compelled to sleep to music in a few years...

    I fall asleep listening to talkradio.

    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:
