["God's Beard!"]

You stand at daybreak in a field.
A warm wind gently pushes aside your hair, and you breathe in with your eyes closed.
Barefoot, you feel the softness of the grass curling around your toes.
You open your eyes to the sun slowly crawling over the mountain peaks in the distance, changing the colors of the tiny flowers surrounding you from white to amber.
You walk to the foot of the hill, there's a small pier jutting into the river underneath a willow tree.
Sitting on the end of the pier, you dip your hand into the water.
Without touching you, glimmering fish swim under the pier and disappear.
You lay down as the wood warms under the sun, and close your eyes.
You shift your shoulders while your feet rock against the tide, and drift out of consciousness.

Enigma's MCMXC a.D album is so good. It balances between that dance music and haunting vocals nicely.

My favorite Enigma track...

The unexpected chimes during "Time" and the cash registers during "Money" kind of ruin any moment of relaxation.

Recently at night, I've been putting my iPhone in its dock, opening up the last.fm app and playing the tag 'sleep music'.

It's a really nice way to both fall asleep to and wake up hearing it.

"This video has 177k views on YouTube and quite a few uncharacteristically positive and thoughtful comments. It’s just some footage of two guys having beers on a roof at sunset, backed up by a beautiful version of Aphex Twin’s “Rhubarb” performed on classical guitar. Or is it more than that? "

Couple albums off the top of my head:
Talk Talk - Laughing Stock
Stars of the Lid - Tired Sounds of
Eno - Apollo Atmospheres

Song
Burial - Shell of Light

 

[flyover]

Brian Eno - Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks

Great pick. My favorite Eno is Thursday Afternoon. It's an hour-long track/album that's perfect for relaxing. I always put it on and soon forget how long I've been listening to it. It's always there, but you stop noticing it after a while.

Also, anything by Stars of the Lid is amazing.

Edit: modernkicks knows where it's at!
