Guys, I need soft beautiful music, the type you could meditate to.

I'm asking this question here because although this is a metal forum, so many of you are so knowledgeable in other types of music as well.

I'd need something without vocals. Something soft, beautiful, relaxing, basically meditation music.

Thanks in advance

 

[The Ozzman]

Pelican?

 

[tagradh]

Ludovico Einaudi, Michael Nyman, Thomas Newman, Boards of Canada, M83, Gustav Holst, God Is An Astronaut, Mike Oldfield, Atrium Carceri, Portal, Ulver, Helios, The Ascent of Everest, The Autumn Project, Priestbird, The Mercury Program, Sigur Rós.

They are all the things in my reading playlist. Post-rock/classical/ambient stuff. Einaudi/Boards Of Canada/Ulver/Sigur Ros are probably my favorites.

 

[Therma lobsterdore]

Good recs tagradh!

Here's some more post-rocky type stuff...

Do make say think
Explosions in the sky
Tortoise

 

[Perdition's Light]

Good recs already, I have to add:

Album Leaf
Bjork (for the most part)
Cocteau Twins
Kitaro (new age, but I swear it's awesome. at least the album silk road is)
Godspeed You Black Emperor (Put the ! wherever)
A Silver Mt. Zion

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll check them soon.

I meant more something along the lines of acoustic guitar, flute, stuff like that. I didn't mean ambient rock or anything like that....

Thanks guys

 

[nissan]

Some of these recommendations are brill. Thanks guys, keep them coming

I'm hoping for less drums and less rock stuff... no vocals... and more flute piano, classic guitar type stuff

Thanks

Godspeed You Black Emperor (Put the ! wherever)

Not sure how I forgot them but aye, brilliant band.

 

[Killbot]

Eluvium
Helios
Goldmund
Library Tapes
Woob
Winter Lull
Deaf Center
Max Richter
Stars Of The Lid
Julien Neto
Blindfold

And of course On Earth

 

[Alasdhair]

Simple - Mjolnir - should do the trick. It's what I relax to anyway. Either that or Agalloch.

 

[tagradh]

Also October Falls, Nest and Ann'Sannat.

 

[A1a23]

Listen to the song Frost by Enslaved.

 

[Blue_Jay]

Nest
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Shearwater
Gentle Giant

 

[Matt]

^ You know Gentle Giant? That surprises me

 

[challenge_everything]

^^ Nest is a very good rec based on your description.

 

[hibernal_dream]

Brahms.

Or if you don't like symphonies, Nest is a good suggestion too. Also try Tangerine Dream.

 

[TalesOfTerror]

Julian Bream (acoustic guitar) playing Bach.

 

[Unfaithfully Metalhead]

Vivaldi's Four seasons as well as other classical pieces...

New age artists like Kitaro, Yanni, John Tesh etc..

 

[Matt]

Samuel Barber - Adagio For Strings and Agnus Dei - based on AfS

 

[Blue_Jay]

^ You know Gentle Giant? That surprises me

They're the only progressive rock band I listen to, only listen to one of their albums, although. It's called Acquiring the Taste, it's their longest album also.

^^ Nest is a very good rec based on your description.

AMEN!
