If you want to have dreams that are exciting listen to Traf de Haidouk.
 
Another band would be Team Sleep. I have never fallen asleep to them but they sound like they may just work.

Everyone knows rock attained perfection in 1974, it's a scientific fact.

Just remembered - I was listening to some Kitaro album, and felt asleep right in the middle of doing something else.

The Orb -

UFOrb,
Orb's adventures through the ultraworld,

aah, feeling sleepy just thinking about it!

Also agree with most Tangerine Dream. Re subliminal messages, there is reversed speech on the debut album, Electronic Meditation. Seem to remember reversing it on the computer as a kid but it turned out to be in German or something...

[QUOTE=Flip_Stone]Here are some good ambient night albums:
 
* Raphael - Music to Disappear In (or Into?)
* Richard Burmer - Mosaic
* Harold Budd - Pavillion of Dreams
* Enya - Shepard Moons
* Eno - Apollo Atmospheres and Soundtracks
 
I agree with these, as well as other choice Fripp and Eno tracks.  Also try some Camel tracks from 'Moonmadness,' as well as certain tracks from Black Light Syndrome's first album.

Richard Burmer's Mosaic is a classic...his best one, too. The final track "The Serum" is anything but ambient. Quite an engaging piece for Burmer, with more in common with Tangerine Dream than Steve Roach.

Of course, my favorite Steve Roach CD is still Empetus ...sequencer heaven.

'Victorialand' - Cocteau twins.  If this album dosent relax you, then i am totally lost. Only problem is that the album is soooo short (32:45), so I usually follow it up with 'Moon and the melodies' - Harold Budd/Cocteau twins.  I have problems sleeping and it usually takes that long for me to go to la la land.
 
Other sleepy faves include
'Kind of blue' - Miles davis
'Duality' - Lisa Gerrard & Peiter Bourke (5 star... awsome)
'Within the realm of a dying sun' - Dead can dance (kinda depressing thou)
Anything by William Ackerman, and George Winston
        (while im on the topic, Windham hill released an anthology 'the first ten years'; that works.)
'Ambient music' - Brian Eno
'No pussyfooting' - Fripp and Eno; Side 1 (title track) gave me a strange journey; Side 2 (swastica girls) did nothing for me
'When in Rome' - Penguin Cafe Orchestra
 
Im hesitant to try '()' - sigur ros... I think track 8 would wake me prematurely...
 
Oh, before i forget...
 
'le mystere des voix bulgares' works on low volume...
 
Should be enough for now, so have a soak in a warm bath, sip some camamile tea, take some valarium (the herb, not the drug) and massage your ears...
 
Enjoy the dreams....

I really like this jacket, but the sleeves are much too long.

You can't go wrong with Stars Of The Lid. I always recommend 'The Tired Sounds Of...' as a good album to get. Gas Farming is a standout track on that one for me.

Sonically, they are sort of a cross between Brian Eno (circa No Pussyfooting) and the soundtrack of the Twin Peaks TV series.

Robert Fripp's "Blessing of Tears". "The Gates of Paradise" suite is also fine, but you have to edit out tracks of "Outter Darkness", as it has so aggressive parts in it. My friend described those parts that they sound like Tarzan killing a whale with a knife. Tongue

I can fall alseep to almost anything, I fell saleep while listening to a Vader album a week ago, but the Porcupine Tree's "Voyage 34" is a a very good album to fall asleep to, and so is Mike Oldfields "Songs of Distant Earth"

Great choice - especially "New age of earth"; Edgar Froese has been mentioned here (unsurprisingly), but it's also worth listening out for "Neptune", Jerome Froese's first album - definitely like father, like son.

Others I would recommend include "New age of steam" by Hesius Dome, "Digital Shaman" by Den Kozlov and the albums "Instinctive traveller", "Lounge control" and "Wet places" by Peter Mergener (think Tangerine Dream circa 1978 with David Gimour on occasional guitar).

Some of the above can be difficult to get hold of, but a good first place to look is www.amboworld.com; I use this site to get hold of a lot of material for my club chillout sets, and they've never let me down yet...

What's the point in listening to music, so that you can fall asleep halfway through it?? A most bizarre and disturbing post, anyway for the record, it ain't ambient, but Genesis make mecomatose.
