Music to relax/zone out to

[BeanDelphiki]

I'm quite a fan of the Doctor Who soundtrack,

Yes! I have all the DW soundtracks from the New Series; especially love the UNIT theme when I'm working on something.

 

[jacobschndr]

Anything by Mastodon

 

[Dethenger]

Just about anything by Pink Floyd.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

Recently, some Marilyn Manson songs

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I chill to Inception's soundtrack. Deep stuff man.

 

[Drakmorg]

This is the most relaxing song I have ever heard.

 

[snyderp]

For my two cents, nothing is more relaxing (but also nostalgia inducing) than "Music for 18 Musicians" by Steve Reich.

Some other great peaceful albums are (all kinda electronic leaning)

Caribou - Start Breaking My Heart
Fennesz - Endless Summer

Let me know if you take a listen and enjoy!

 

[Erana]

Let me find some free relaxing music from my iPod...

(He also does some epic chiptune albums; these songs are a real change of pace for him)


So yeah, free stuff if you want to add some calm music to your playlist. Always good.
Granted, its mostly chiptune, but I really like this sort of music and am always looking for more low-key music to paint to.

 

[Kuranesno7]

three possible suggestions:

 

[Rooster893]

Beck's 1994 album Mellow Gold takes me to a whole new world with its totally unique sound.

<youtube=XR571dionMY>

The lyrics make absolutely NO sense but man, it sounds amazing....

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

I find the following to be very nice chill out type songs:

Spoiler: Embrace your inner hippy maaaan

Groovy.

 

[EHKOS]

Anything chopped and screwed would work.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

For me post-Celestial ISIS, Red Sparrowes, Russian Circles, Radiohead, Mumford and Sons, Opeth's Damnation and Pelican all work.

 

[Julianking93]

I'm currently listening to this, so that's my recommendation


LTJ Bukem is just all around very good chill music. I don't think I've ever heard one bad song from him.

 

[Omega 380]

This song aways calms me:

 

[TJ rock 101]

I really like Strobe by Deadmau5 when i want to relax, its a great tune.

[TheEndIsNear5115]

I've always found the Halo soundtrack to be good zoning-out material:

Also, this. Just trust me, please.

[Ambassador Kosh]

Anything by protoculture tends to do it for me.
