usually it's:
robert rich- below zero
tangerine dream- zeit
TUU- 1,000 Years
ashratempel- new age of earth
anything by penguin cafe orchestra, tim buckley or syd barrett

i have trouble falling asleep without music on, especially living in a noisy dorm.

Mono
Godspeed
Explosions in the Sky
A Silver Mt. Zion
Do Make Say Think
Murray Street
the Unicorns
Xiu Xiu - A Promise

I can't listen to music while I'm falling asleep. It will keep me awake.

Yeah neither can I... I usually don't want to miss out on anything.

A long time ago I was listening to the John Peel show in bed and fell asleep... only to be woken up by Alan Vega's unearthly piercing screams during 'Frankie Teardrop' in a cold sweat... that was my introduction to Suicide.
I've never looked back.

I have music on a lot of the time when I'm home so my stereo goes to bed at the same time as me in that I always insist on properly emptying it then shutting at down. Late at night I like:
Stars of the Lid
Charalambides
The quiter moments of Birchville Cat Motel
Avarus
Brian Eno's Music for Airports
Disc four of Pan Sonic's Kesto: It's an hour long electronic drone. It's perfect when you're drunk or have consumed inhuman amounts of coffee to make yourself stay up and finish a paper.

I remember listening to Murray Street when It came out when I was sleeping. I didn't know that Individual Thought Patterns by Death was the next CD. I woke up to Death and was very confused.

This happened to me countless times haha. I'll play washing machine from start to finish, and I always fall asleep at Diamond Sea and wake up later to it

kind of cliche, but i put on Air's Moon Safari when I can't sleep.

In high school I used to put on bongwater's Too Much Sleep every night - I'd flip the tape every night and I was always asleep by the end of either side.

i used to have a 50 disc cd player and one time i woke up & it was playing system of a down's toxicity- my half-asleep brain could not handle that. i slept through the whole album, too, it was on the secret track...

great for dreaming away:
BOARDS OF CANADA
especially "the campfire headphase"
clouddead are also good, and of course sonic youth, but be prepared of being waken up violently by some noise disturbing your dream machine

hey alex 04.01.2006 05:01 PM

campire songs by animal collective

really good becuz it's like an hour of whirling acoustic guitars

Rupert 'Stiles' Stilinski 04.02.2006 05:27 PM

REM's Murmur is the best album to fall asleep to...

It's almost so good though, that I don't want to sleep.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 04.02.2006 05:32 PM

Grete 04.03.2006 07:42 AM
