Good night all...er...Good morning!

Even though I am in North America, I am on the same hours as our Far East brethren/sisthren. I work during the third shift and I just got home and am about to hit the hay (8 AM). However, before journeying to ZZZ land, I will listen to Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Mood." This is my favorite album with which to slow things down and catch a decent snooze.

And so my question: what is your favorite album with which to slow things down and take it easy and relax and soothe shattered nerves?

I like pop music, but I usually don't chill out to it. Instead, I clean house or dance or run or take the subway. For chill out music I like some of my soundtracks:
Magnolia
The Hurricane
Spirited Away
Harold and Maude

For regular chilling out, something like Evanescence does the trick. For major chilling/falling asleep/going into a trance-like state, I grab an Enya CD. Wink

The Italian film music maestro, Ennio Morricone. I'm also quite fond of Radiohead, Grandaddy and Kate Bush.

Luckily, here in Kyrgyzstan, if you don't have any music of your own, you can venture out onto the freezing boulevards and witness the bizarre phenomena of 'street karaoke': groups of youngsters huddling around TVs on the street belting out Russian favourites to anyone who cares to listen - which, as far as I can gather, is noone. Do they do this in any other country (not just karaoke, I know they do this everywhere, but karaoke on the street)?

Jazz...

... but funky, abstract, colourful, pretentious even... out there somewhere.

Or just some Tom Petty... Cool

I prefer darkish moody droning whiny alternative-type stuff. Placebo are my favorite to chill to or to do just about anything to.

Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, CHet Baker, that sort of thing. I also like the Magnolia soundtrack. An actor I used to work with in my other life (I was a theatre technician and stage manager back in the homeland) used to love to warm up to that CD. After the show closed, I had to go out and buy it because I missed my daily dose of it.
