It's Time to Chill; Bring Some Music

[Mr Fixit]

Anytime I need to relax I listen to Tool or Pink Floyd.

It's a bit louder and more aggressive than most would relax too, but if I put some good headphones in & close my eyes I could sleep to this one.

 

[unindexedsearchengine]

I find the lack of Daft Punk in this thread disturbing


That, and pretty much anything else by Daft Punk.

Another source of constant high quality and endless entertainment is Two Steps From Hell.


Also, this is the first time I made a post with videos embedded. Is it wrong that I feel pride and accomplishment?

I love me some Anathema and some ambient electronic music.

Spoiler

I know this sounds corny, but sometimes when I wake up my alarm plays this music. When the sun is bursting through my rather large windows... its kinda magical, it really is.

That'd be a much nicer thing to wake up to than this:

Snip

You ninja'd me on that. I never thought this day would come.

I'm so happy.

OT: Well, one song that always calms me down is something I've been linking a lot the past few days apparently.

Spoiler: Blink-182 - Asthenia

Binnsy stole one of my go-to Helios songs, but that doesn't mean I can't link more!

Spoiler: The Red Truth

Spoiler: Sons of Light and Darkness

Keith Kenniff (guy who uses the Helios moniker) does all sorts of great chill-out stuff. He's got a more piano-focused side under the name Goldmund too.

Spoiler: Fort McClary

Spoiler: Winter of 1539-1540

There are a bunch more that are staples of my 'ambient playlist' I use when I'm focusing or something, but it'd take a long time for me to track all of them down and link them through Youtube.

 

[Guffe]

I am relaxing at this moment to Axel Rudi Pell

If I've had a really bad day?
Well this song is bit controversial in that state, because the lyrics, which are awesome, are basically about getting over something bad but this song to me means a lot more than just that.


But yeah, doesn't matter if I want to relax or get pumped I usually just go for Rock N' Roll and Heavy Metal \,,/

 

[CardinalPiggles]

Seeing as I got ninja'd so early on I'll say;

Spoiler: Viva La Vida - Coldplay

It got to be this, seriously this guy is a god a remixing vocals from Disney and other movies while adding his mix into it!

Spoiler

Oh wow that is seriously impressive.

 

[fix-the-spade]

This was on the Radio ealier, never of them or it before then, but think it's lovely.

A nice little semi-classic

Dallas Green is one of my idols.

This has been my go to song for relaxing for a while now. Can't help but feel relaxed listening to it.

 

[Sizzle Montyjing]

Spoiler: And some more stuff!

Also the this entire album.
There, I think that's a good start.

Captcha: BUTLER DID IT
Well that's hardly relaxing...

 

[anthony87]

Right now a couple of songs that I relax to would be:


and

 

[chiggerwood]

Well you gotta do it right first you gotta start out with

Spoiler: Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul.

follow that with
Then go to
Now it's time to mix things up
get you energy up with
Now that you're feeling good take a listen to
Keep those good vibes flowing with.



Get your energy up, because it's almost time for the finale
and now finish it up with
Thank you for going on this little adventure, hopefully you feel better and discovered some new music to love.
Also if you have your computer play this song for you each morning, you'll be happy to wake up. Chariots!

 

[In Search of Username]

While thinking about this I've realised that the majority of the music I like is more supposed to get you worked up, sad, or just generally fuck with your head, than relax you. So I don't have much. But there's a few things I guess.

Nice bit of relaxing R&B first:

Spoiler: Frank Ocean

This is strange, but very relaxing to me just because of the very slow pace:

Spoiler: Jesu

And of course there's always post-rock, generally lovely to wake up to, or to go to sleep to, so let's have some of that:

Spoiler: Oceansize & Mogwai

Then there's just general chilled-out downtempo stuff like these:

Spoiler: Emancipator, Burial and Boards of Canada

Also, I second the recommendations for Gorillaz, Anathema, Frames., The Doors, Tom Waits, Major Lazer, Sigur Ros, Devin Townsend, Tool, Daft Punk, Bonobo, and This Will Destroy You. BASICALLY MOST OF WHAT'S IN HERE. You guys have good taste.

 

[Mr.Savage]

Huh, I actually didn't know how to embed Youtube videos, UNTIL NOW! Thanks Daft Time

Here's some of my favorite, most relaxing music...All instrumental, except a bit of the last one.



And the big daddy of em' all, Vangelis. This seems to be one of his more unknown songs. I consider it his best, I've never zoned out more to a song, than this one.




If you enjoyed that, continue on, into the spoiler of mystery and relaxation...

Spoiler

Ooh, an adventurous one, eh? Good choice.











Hmm...Now what to end this with...Ah, this will do nicely. Bit of a monster, bit if all your doing is perusing the web, it's not too bad.


Hope you enjoyed it!

Because there's a surge of ambient electronica being posted now; here's my submission!

Spoiler: Tycho

I know this sounds corny, but sometimes when I wake up my alarm plays this music. When the sun is bursting through my rather large windows... its kinda magical, it really is.

Heh, I've been waiting for Mirror's Edge to come up actually. You think that sounds a little corny? I've got my own story about the soundtrack:

I had gotten home after a reasonably long day. Things had gone pretty swell; I had some laughs, knocked almost everything that I currently needed, it was a casual Friday to do and it was raining. As I make my way to my room I kick off my shoes and grab a ginger beer from the fridge. When I hit my room, I put my feet up on the desk, fired up my ambient electronic play-list and looked out the window. A song from the Mirror's Edge soundtrack was playing, I couldn't help but feel "today was a good day" as I listen to it. It was pretty magical in it's own right.

...Anathema was a good choice too. XD

Ah, you want to chill eh?

Oh come on, that one was almost cheating! =P Good taste!

It's a bit louder and more aggressive than most would relax too, but if I put some good headphones in & close my eyes I could sleep to this one.

My taste are quite a bit softer these days, but I use to listen to Tool to unwind pretty often. Fantastic band.

just a quick...

Fink!

Oh wow, I had never heard of Fink. That track is fantastic, thanks for sharing!

Last week's episode of The Walking Dead[footnote]some damn fine music in that show![/footnote] introduced me. Later I realised that I listened to this guy's music 10+ years ago[footnote]yeah, I'm kinda old[/footnote] - a friend had this album:

Hah, that's excellent! Yeah, the Walking Dead has some great music - Bear McCreary alone is awesome - though my favourite has to be when Of Monsters and Men appeared on the show. It surprised the hell out of me.

Chillwave is a douchy and thoroughly mediocre genre in my book, but good lord do I love this song.
