Soothing music...

[Jimmy... Dead.]

Something that helps you relax and get whatever shit you have on your mind off and abstract.

Mithras - Psyrens

Yours?

 

[The Emptier]

Indie/pop stuff like A Fine Frenzy, Mount Eerie, Nini & Ben

Classical stuff like Chopin, Debussey

john williams, soundtracks

80's or 80's style electronic stuff like vangelis, kavinsky, tangerine dream

But right now i'd say Opera is my favorite. verdi, puccini being my two favorites as composers and luciano pavarotti, sherill milnes, placido domingo being some of my favorite singers

 

[Lateralus14]

Eluvium

/thread

 

[Hail The Wizard!]

Neofolk stuff like Nest, Tenhi and Death in June.

Also Sigur Ros.

And Scuba.

 

[Dak]

Wolverine - Still
Early Evergrey albums
October Tide albums
etc.

 

[Eligos]

Alcest, contemporary classical, Walknut, Blut Aus Nord, Fen, Drudkh.

Porcupine Tree.

 

[Lateralus14]

I've heard 90% of this and must say that besides Eluvium, Sigur Ros and Alcest easily win

 

[metal_wrath]

Mithras, Brutal Death Metal, soothing? How?

Dark Sanctuary
Lycia
Love Spirals Downwards

 

[Dak]

I don't see how BAN can be soothing....

 

[Lateralus14]

^ The new album is pretty damn melodic, "beautiful" black metal pretty much.

 

[Belligerent]

Mithras, soothing? How?

Pretty sure he meant that song in particular. "Sands of Time" is another one off of Worlds Beyond The Veil.


bands that are soothing for me:
Porcupine Tree
Anathema
some Katatonia
Blackfield
Agalloch

 

[SentinelSlain]

Wishbone Ash

 

[Einherjar86]

The two most recent Sieges Even albums are very serene. Imagine sailing across futuristic clean oceans in a kind of transcendental or quasi-transcendental world; that's kind of what it makes me think of.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I usually stick on something like Dead Can Dance to soothe and relax me, but I usually end up feeling more tense with the dark nature of their albums.

 

[ConnorFromHell]

Devin Townsend (the Ocean Machine album, last 4 tracks in particular)
Porcupine Tree
Pink Floyd
Buckethead

 

[DEATH_TO_THE_FALSE]

Motzart
Beethoven
Vivaldi

 

[Vathek]

Portishead... And just discovered Daudi Baldrs by Burzum, all "orchestral" (synths) very dark, but very transporting as well. Feel like you're a ghost in a dead castle...

 

[Episteme]

Balaklava by Wunjo

One of my favourite chillout albums ever.

 

[damnromulans]

You guys listen to some dark fucking relaxing music.

Eluvium, forgot about them!

I often like happy chill indie/electronica for chilling out.

Stereolab
Sweet Trip
Zero 7
Thievery Corporation
etc

As for metal when I want to relax I like "Souvenirs d'un Autre Monde" by Alcest, it reminds me of greenery in the British Isles.

 

[brooks55]

Worm Ouroboros is the most "soothing" band I have listened to lately. Their debut on Profound Lore is quite excellent.
