Music to listen to

I love this C.D., but i cant find it in stores anywhere, I use to have it, but then I lost it. Listen to the sampales I think youll like it.

Thom Yorke’s new album, The Eraser, is excellent for this type of thing. If you enjoyed Kid A, you’ll find it pretty solid. Its similar in styles.

Ambient Selections Volume II

Okay, this is going off on a big tangent, but the wiipedia article linked to [by zombie] above says:

… I hadn’t heard of “synaesthesia”, so I followed the wikipedia link to that, which says:

I just thought that was really interesting! I’ve sometimes read people mention seeing sounds or hearing colours in dreams, it’s interesting that this sort of thing can happen (for some people) in waking life too… :eek:

Nobuo Uematsu’s music helps perhaps…

maybe the band lucid would help… :wink:

edit: remy zero were fantastic and are possibly (hopefully) soon to be getting back together.

I’ve been listening to the band Pagan’s Mind a bunch lately and it’s good stuff. It’s Progressive Metal but the keyboards in it are mostly pad-oriented with an almost creamy sound to them. The subject matter meshes very well with LDing. They even have a song called “Dreamscape Lucidity”.

There’s a few songs available for free download on their site and you can find their albums on amazon for not too much.

I guess Tool would work best for me. Especially stuff like Parabol or Schism, The Patient or Reflection…

Oh and We enter by Aphrodite

The album Lateralus by Tool used to make me fall asleep over the day, but when I tried it for a WILD I stayed awake throughout the whole album.

I didn’t have many acoustic/relaxing CDs avaliable to me (unless you call In Flames, Iron Maiden and Lordi relaxing), so I used the Foo Fighters - In Your Honour disc 2 (the acoustic one)

It worked extrememly well. I was gone before the CD ended. While I didn’t go lucid, I felt numb, sometimes felt like I was falling, and had AMAZING dream recall that night. Oddly enough, it was a dream mainly about flying!

I higly recommed that album, though it may not work for you.

Steve Roach. Very nice ambient dreamy themes.

I second that. And third it, as well.

I am not sure if Sigur Ros has mentioned, but I’d be very surprised if it hasn’t been.

Nothing quite like (), or Takk… or any of their stuff, in fact. Brings me almost to tears in waking life…

sounds kind of odd to me.

Odd as opposed to normal, mundane, everyday? Yes, Sigur Ros is odd in the same way that angels and divine beings are odd.

I’m fairly new to these LDing techniques, and after two weeks worth of practicing WILD, I have had 0 LDs. Last night, however, I made a big step I believe toward that goal and the only thing that I did different was to try WILD while listening to music. I chose Steven Halpern’s Chakra Suite. I highly recommend it.

His website, innerpeacemusic.com/ , claims that his music has physiological effects on the body.

Oh, and as I was looking through reviews of Halpern’s other CDs on Amazon, I came across this very interesting critique of an album entitled Sleep Soundly. Not surprisingly, most people described it a magnificent aid in helping one fall asleep, but one reviewer wrote the following:

"I have used a Halpern relaxation tape for years and been happy with it so I tried the Sleep CD when I began having sleep problems. Having used it 3 times and having progressively worse problems from being on edge, agitated, to absolute terrifying nightmares (I woke up unable to move, breath and trying to scream help – finally being able to – four times in two hours!) I not only cannot recommend this CD, I must tell people not to use it until they are sure that it won’t affect them this way.

FYI I do have PTSD and mild anxiety occasionally but this was worse than anything I have ever experienced. On a scale of one to ten, with my normal being one, my reactions to this CD were 12."

Now methinks this reviewer may have experienced hypnopompia; or if not, he/she had a very vivid dream (just what we want), and 4 times at that! I’m going to try and find this CD ASAP.

Shine on you Crazy Diamond parts 1-5 is a really nice song. Very soothing at times, especially the beginning. Though it does get a tad fast and loud about a quarter of the way through.

Another song to check out is “Echoes”. Both songs are by Pink Floyd.

I find Infinite Shore by Steve Roach to be one of my favorite tracks…and Dreamtime Return is an awesome album! It really makes your mind calm down and never gives me headaches :smile:

good music for me to listen to is Shpongle, or pink floyd.

I’m not totally sure if these two artists have been mentioned, sorry and I’m a fool if it has BUT…

Try out Music For Osho Zen Tarot by Osho Musicians and Deja-Blues (clever, huh?) by Steven Halpern. It’s good stuff. Very relaxing for those who need music and I suggest if you’re on the forums you listen to this kind of music so when you listen to it as you go to sleep your mind will ring LUCIDITY. >D
