Music to fall asleep to

Mazzy Star puts me into a coma.

The song is politik. A soon as Martin sings 'open up your eyeyeyeyeys' my eyes close. This is so effective that it was a long time before I heard the rest of the album!

For sleepy-time music, I find that soft, classical-style guitar is often just the thing. Eliot Fisk's album of caprices by Paganini is good, as is the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet's Baroque collection, For Thy Pleasure. Some of the gentler jazz piano pieces work well, too, though it is sometimes necessary to tailor a playlist from multiple albums because a somewhat louder, more raucous track might appear in the middle of an album and jar me out of my fading-off-to-sleep. Oscar Peterson can be good (e.g. The Gershwin Songbook), or Errol Garner (Concert By The Sea works well for me). Pretty much anything by Booker T. and the MGs will do. And basically any of J.J. Cale's albums are soft enough and mellow enough to work, too, although for going-to-sleep music, I generally stick to instrumental music, so the lyrics don't distract.

"Laid Back" Gregg Allman

My favourite go-to-sleep album is The Beastie Boys' The In Sound From Way Out. It's an instrumental funk album by them, and it's just wonderful.
For a bit of rock, I also like going to sleep to Kyuss.
Thanks for the recommendations, people; I'm gonna enjoy checking them all out!

Also, I've listened to Blue Mars, Drone Zone, and Cryo-sleep. These do the trick for me too - great stations.

Where can i find these on squeezenetwork?

I like BlueMars and Paxahau radios for sleep.

But IMHO the all time best album for falling asleep to (especially if you like star travelling) is:

Pete Namlook & Tetsu Inoue - 2350 Broadway II

'On the Beach' - so laid back it's a wonder he ever finished recording it himself...

[minoman]

Esbjörn Svensson Trio (e.s.t.) and keith Jarret
