I need YOUR suggestions for mellow tunes for children

[xfer]

preppy, is that Aphex Twin song you put on Josh's mix from that? it's a phenomenal song, but i don't think it would be very appropriate...or is that CD a lot mellower?

Jason Falkner recorded an instrumental album of Beatles tunes that's supposed to be really good. It's actually for this exact purpose - lullabies for kids.

Other stuff: Jazzkammer - Pancakes
anything from Pan Sonic or Skepticism. um yeah.

sam -- :: high five :: on the Rodan

alex -- get the new Unwed Sailor album. very good. also, Album Leaf would also be a good get.

also, there is a great children's song guy called Dan Zanes. he has a "nighttime" CD... i think steph wrote about it on the workshop. (look in her editorials)

oh also, Tom Paxton writes great childrens songs and has a ton of albums. "I give you the morning" is probably one of the sweetest songs ever written.

i don't want children's songs...

SONG TITLES JAKE, I'M SOULSEEKING THESE

 

[deadair]

they are NOT "children's Songs"... it's actually a great CD.

as far as song titles... look on www.allmusic.com lazy

 

[goatschool]

anything by WORLD STANDARD, but esp "billy strange country"

 

[Stultus]

Treefingers... (almost) anything by Eno.
Ozric Tentacles' Eternal Wheel.
Pink Floyd's Echoes is pretty mellow throughout as far as I remember (fake whale sounds to boot).

 

[minxnim]

the trance cd is about 1,000 times more mellow.

 

[Stultus]

Are you referring to Selected Ambient Works volume II?

 

[minxnim]

yes

 

[Stultus]

Yeah, Xtal from the first one is also really mellow as well.

 

[xfer]

by Treefingers you mean the Radiohead song, not some other band?

 

[capeda]

Anekdoten's Gravity album
Mr. Bungle - Sweet Charity (probably anything off the California album, actually)
Deep Purple - Lazy
King Crimson - Easy Money
Black Sabbath - Planet Caravan

maybe some Rush and Yes tunes...?

 

[capeda]

oh yeah, Ravi Shankar, too! Kids dig that Indian jazz, ya dig? At least, that's my theory...!

 

[Stultus]

by Treefingers you mean the Radiohead song, not some other band?

The former.
