The Michael Nyman Band's Drowning By Numbers always gets me in a relaxed mood.

I'll accompany you ems I'm 6' 1" so I ward off scary strangers, and I go sleep very quickly once I reach horizontal, so you can lie back and listen to the wonder that is the DSOTM by the Pink Floyd.emilystrange wrote:I told you, i'm not allowed out on my own.
BTW I come complete with Wish You Were Here, but more importantly - Meddle, spesh Echos (side 2 to us really Old Pharts).

The german border guards wern't too fussed when they found me in a beetroot field. Personally the title track of the next album did it for me, 'loves lost etc'. Makes me cry.

Cool. Some good ideas there.
Thanks guys. Now I can go back to scaring her ladyship with sounds she doesn't like very much.
Since relaxed is the vibe, though, I'd suggest something by Tindersticks. The untitled second album is rather good in a smoky, whisky-stained bar of some ill-repute kind of way.
In a similar vein, how about Copenhagen's "Songs from the Forest"? Laid back in a miserable style.
As for culture (you'd be upset if I didn't), I'll put Schubert's Unfinished Symphony. It's probably the closest thing I've heard to "life-changing" music, since it was quite literally what opened my ears to the possibility of sounds that didn't hang on a drumbeat and a bassline.
I was playing clarinet in the county youth orchestra and it was the main piece we did in my first term there. I couldn't make anything of a couple of passages so I had to actually sit down and listen to it (something of a novel experience for me) and it was just overwhelming.
Beautiful and powerful in equal measure - and the start of a life-long love affair with my own pretentiousness

The cure, Disintegration. Just listen to those lyrics, very moving. Or Roger Waters, Amused to Death!
