Ethereal favourite?

[MotorWerk]

What makes you relax the most?

[MrVesham]

Damn. Damn damn. For relaxation purposes, it's a tie between Mortal Coil and DCD, but I do like DCD a little more. Acceptable edge?

[TheBladeRoden]

Enya's the only one I recognize

[chri-baby]

non of the above. to relax I listen to classical music mostly Brahms 3rd symphony, poco allegretto.

DEAD CAN DANCE - "Black Sun"


Murderer!
Man of fire.

Murderer!
I've seen the eyes of living dead.
It's the same game - survival.
The great mass play a waiting game.
Embalmed, crippled, dying in fear of pain.
All sense of freedom gone.

Black sun in a white world.
Like having a black sun in a white world.

I have a son,
His name is Eden.
It's his birthright,
Beyond estranged time.

Give me 69 years,
Another season in this hell.
It's all sex and death as far as I can tell.

Like Prometheus we are bound,
Chained to this rock of a brave new world,
Our godforsaken lot.
And I feel that's all we've ever needed to know,
'Til worlds end and the seas run cold.

Give me 69 years,
Another season in this hell.
There is sex and death
In mother nature's plans.

Like Prometheus we are bound,
Chained to this rock of a brave new world,
Our godforsaken lot.

oddly enough it is a relaxing song.

[who45]

hmmm...well to relax I would have to say Enya. I do like Mortal Coil, but Enya has a very soothing voice to relax to.

Lorrena McKennitt - Dante's Prayer

When the dark wood fell before me
And all the paths were overgrown
When the priests of pride say there is no other way
I tilled the sorrows of stone

I did not believe because I could not see
Though you came to me in the night
When the dawn seemed forever lost
You showed me your love in the light of the stars

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me


Then the mountain rose before me
By the deep well of desire
From the fountain of forgiveness
Beyond the ice and the fire

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me

Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
To touch the face of the stars

Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me...

[arthurfrdent]

erm... the rest of enya's family... Clannad.

although Kitaro's Silk Road is also quite relaxing... heh, can never pick just one, anyway...

how 'bout more than the above?

You showed me your love in the light of the stars

Please remember me... I have that CD. :D

[Pip_The_Great]

personally, I prefer Moby or classical music, but enya's pretty good as well.

[MrVesham]

There are three trance mods that I have that I can still relax to. 'tiara (http://www.veshgfx.com/mod/u_tiara.xm)', 'after sunset (http://www.veshgfx.com/mod/aftersunset.s3m)' and 'Darshan (http://www.veshgfx.com/mod/ad_darsh.it)'.

*sigh* Too bad the mod scene got overcrowded with rugrats making silly mainstream-sounding BS, it used to be a place for some true progression in electronic music, even if it was limited technically.

[Col.Batguano]

I have that CD. :D
I'm listening to it now,
prologue - marco polo - and Dante's prayer, are my favorites

[who45]

:yes: and The Mummer's Dance as well. Her other CD 'The Mask and Mirror' is very good as well.

[waltersgirl]

none of the above

[Milaya]

Enya.I'm not sure of the others.But for me anything do.

[ctheokas]

I voted for Dead Can Dance, but what really relaxes me? Reading.

[trinamick]

I have that CD. :D

Me too! That was what I was listening to (Dante's Prayer) when I saw this thread. Freaky! :eek: But I like Enya too.

[Col.Batguano]

that was just my Sith powers at work ;)

[trinamick]

Ooooh. :eek:

[who45]

Or is it that saying about great minds and all. ;)

[Clarsax]

Enya for me.

[trinamick]

Just went to a performance of Golden Bough last night. Amazing, they are. Celtic, Scottish, Irish, gypsy, etc. songs. Lots of instruments for only three performers. Check them out if they come to your town!

[Antrobus]

Well, of the three, I went with "This Mortal Coil", but I could have just as easily have chosen "Dead Can Dance". Both are good!

But to really relax I listen to French classical music, Faure, Ravel, Debussy....nothing quite as soothing!

[el-halo]

for the relative genre: Love Spirals Downwards, Delerium (primarily their songs with vocals :d), Slowdive, among others. I certainly like Dead Can Dance and This Mortail Coil as well, but Suzanne Perry's voice is just amazing (Lum is a good songwriter of course too). DCD/TMC are sort of dark for ethereal, and along those lines there is Black Tape for a Blue Girl which is awesome too.

[DRD2001]

What makes you relax the most?
A good massage. ;)

[MotorWerk]

You can never go wrong with Slowdive.

[el-halo]

indeed :groove:

[kymom5613]

Metallica's not on the list?!!?!? (LOL)
I won't be able to REALLY relax till after 4/30 (personal taxes 4/15 & the rest of the payroll taxes 4/20-5/2)...Then I'll breathe & listen to some jazz...
BTW, the only artist I recognize is Enya, as well...I guess I don't get out much anymore

[el-halo]

as an aside, what did you think of rachel's solo album, motorwerk?

[MotorWerk]

I really don't like much of the singer/songwriter music... but I had to buy the album, since I'm a fan of hers. I think her solo album is better than Neil's.

[el-halo]

Fair enough. I am a fan of some singer/songwriter stuff but I do agree that their solo material is just a shadow of previous. Not that I mind it if it's on :>
