StoneMtn Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 I am not in the habit of coming on the Skanc and telling about my personal moods. That said, due to many unrelated occurrences, today is unbelievably stressful and I could use some help here before I go nuts.I need to get considerable work done today, but I need some tunes to keep me sane. I'd like to stream something really relaxing, but something that won't distract me. I need something without vocals, quiet, and really calming.Can someone recommend such an album that I could find and stream on id1git.com, before I go insane? The reason I'm seeking a recommendation is that I'd like something I'm not already familiar with, so I won't be as distracted. Any thoughts?

CyberHippie Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Dr. Didg - Serotonalityhttp://www.id1g1t.com/s1/album.cgi?album=11990It's worth a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted October 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Aaaaaaah....Well, I've got a different Keith Jarrett album going right now, but already helping.CyberHippie, Dr. Didg'll be next.(Thanks for the Anal Cunt recommendation MarcO. It was a unique suggestion, which of course I had to check out first. lol I actually could only find them on a death-metalcore compilation, and their song wouldn't actually stream, but I got the gist of their sound from the other bands on there. I might save their album for AFTER I lose it and decide to go postal. It should be the perfect soundtrack.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 ummmm i would go for (as silly as this sounds) the cranberries "no need to argue" album. you'll want to skip over zombie and maybe odd to my family b/c a) zombie is not really the relaxing type unless you need to do some cathartic yelling, and ode to my family was also a hit, so you may know it. the rest of the album is really quiet, melodious and unobtrusive. my study music in high school and still calms me down when i'm upset.

StoneMtn Posted October 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Thanks Alexis! That ones's now in the queue to go on as well. (I do appreciate this; esp today.)I'm still awaiting Lazlo's inevitable reply-post, recommending "Ripping Headaches" by Voivod or something...

MarcO Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Bill Frisell's "Good Dog Happy Man" is also excellent.Vida Blue's "The Illuminated Band" is a bit more upbeat but not at all in-your-face, nice stuff all around.Try some Steve Reich for some beautiful-but-repetitive-beautiful-but-repetitive hypnotic classical music.

AdamH Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 I would go with Bruce Cockburn's newest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 The fuck... Why has nobody mentioned Miles Davis yet? A little Kind of Blue to cure what ails ya StoneMtn.If that won't do ya, how about some Boards of Canada? It's only the best chill-out music out there. I suggest Geogaddi or In A Beautiful Place Out in the Country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PimpDaddySweetPants Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 (edited) I recommend anything by the Boards of Canada. Whenever the stress of pimpin' get too much for this player to take I relax with some BOC.Highly recommended. Any album they don't have a bad one.

StoneMtn Posted October 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 "BOC" I must be getting old or I've been too inundated by American pop culture. I would've thought "Blue Oyster Cult" from those initials. hahahaha I'll check out the Boards of Canada for sure, Pimp! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
