quiet music

[solipsistnation]

Favorite quiet albums, for 3:00am listening, or just sleepy in general:

Pieter Nooten & Michael Brook: Sleeps With The Fishes
Brian Eno (and others): Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks
HOEDh: Hymnus
Harold Budd & Brian Eno: Plateaux of Mirror and The Pearl
Brian Eno: Before and After Science, side 2 (second half of the CD)

I have a playlist of these right now, and it's quietly putting me to sleep right now.

"An Ending (Ascent)" is just about the prettiest song ever.

I find that "The Heavenly Music Corporation" knocks me flat if I let it, and I also find Music For Airports (especially the two pieces on the first side) astonishingly soothing/soporific.

But yeah, Apollo ranks way up there. Lovely lovely lovely.
