i'm looking for some new tunes to lull me into the dreamworld...old bedtime standbys on my thiel/cj/plinius/cary system include:
Joni Mitchell - Blue
Getz and Gilberto
Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain
Springsteen - Ghost of Tom Joad
Ella Fitzgerald and Armstrong - Best of
Coltrane - Favorite Things
Van Morrison - Astral Weeks
and a little Nora Jones and Willie Nelson mixed in for good measurethese usually do the trick - only downside is having to get out of bed to turn off my plinius amp/space heater so i don't melt in the middle of the night - that rig gives off some serious heat
Follow Ups:
how about:Leonard Cohen - all
Tim Hardin - I & II
Nick Drake - all
Eno - Another Green World
John Cale - Paris 1919
Nico - Chelsea girl
Scott Walker - I, II, III & IV
Jacques Brel - all
Eric Matthews - It's heavy in here
Tom Rush - The circle game
John Martyn
Tim Buckely - Happy sad
Cat Stevens - Teaser and the firecat, Tea for the tillerman
Erik Satie - Trois Gymnopedies
good stuff put you to sleep. maybe some sinatra too.
Depends on whatch doin' there Dunnit.That thing from Tristan and Isolde. The there's the bit in Eugene Onegin where the girl is writing to him.
Bolero is for the young ;-)!
Saturday morning is morning in for us :-)
Marylin Crispell/Gary Peacock/Paul Motian's "Nothing Ever Was, Anyway" (ECM) works for me. You can also try "Amaryllis" (same label, same players). I'd also suggest most of the Made To Measure catalogue (link below).Robert
It's like the soundtrack to falling asleep.
You really couldn't do better than David Sylvian's "Gone to Earth". Beautiful songs, warm vocals and Robert Fripp/Bill Nelson ambient type guitar swirls.....
Ock, noo, mon, away with ye,you'll be forgettin'
Plight & Premonition (surely the ultimate late nite music
and
Dead Bees on a Cake... (so laid back it's horizontal, Jimmy,
and that's before a wee dram).
best wishes,
Frank-from-Morningside,
(so my mum swears) but I'm sure it was Leith docks... but memory's a funny thing, so it is.

it's the heat of the amp that puts you to sleep.it doesn't matter what i play. the heat of my otls puts me to sleep.
lately it's been 'century seasons', the space music of john serrie.
you could also consider, tony scott's, 'music for zen meditation'.
Barry White:-)
I like Allison Kraus for morning mellow music. Maybe it'd be good for evening.
These go into my Cambridge CD88Jordi Savall -- Music of John Jenkins (Astree)
Healey Willan -- Tenebrae Responsaries Virgin ClassicsPretty much anything by Palestrina or his contemporaries.
Soothing as it may sound, it tends to make me doze off in the listening chair when I close my eyes...a good thing? Perhaps! I still enjoy her music nonetheless.
