C'mon, I can't decide. Listened to some DM to get me to sleep last night, what will it be tonight? I got all of the studio albums, obviously, with all the best ofs and compilations etc etc.

I'm tempted to go with Low life for some reason even if I don't really like the album. Just for "Face Up" I guess.

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient works Vol II is the most perfect disc(s) to fall asleep to....

next up:

Bliss - Real World Mix disc selected by Peter Gabriel

Caution: Do Not Listen to NewOrder if you want to sleep...I find myself staying awake just to hear the next track and of course the one after that ...etc....it's no good to take the Order to bed...

Depeche on the other hand is so fucking boring that the discs should come with a warning....

Thank you so much for that comment about my favourite band, upon reading these words all of my DM albums, singles, bootlegs and merchandise were promptly destroyed in a big fire. Thank you for showing me the way.

If it's sleep you're after, I suggest Republic All the rest is suitable for any occasion ....

Damn, Geri, you stole my thought.....:mad:

Oh well, let me say that "Low-life" is a decent pick, and enjoy this picture from "The Incredible Hulk"

If you want to sleep, put on (the rest of). Guarenteed, you'll have nightmares from such travesties as BM95, but you'll get so bored or disgusted, you'll eventually fall asleep for a few hours. Or, if you just want any album to fall asleep to, buy Nirvana's Nevermind. I could never get through that album with out falling asleep on the second side, probably from the fact that, aside from 3 tracks, every song sounds the same.

"Movement", otherwise a bit of Nick Drake, Bjork or Jeff Buckley. Sweet dreams.

I always like listening to "Disintegration" by The Cure. It ain't NO or JD, but it works for me.

I reckon Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics. That's gotta be a bedtime winner.

hey...if you lot can bash Rock the Shack, then I reckon it's quite alright for Brian to smash DM...

I find their new stuff to be almost as invigorating as Kenny G!!!

now as for actually trying to go to sleep...Enya can usually make it happen for me...or I flip on this artsy fartsy alleged smooth jazz station...and usually I'm out within 10 minutes...If I'm lucky....

and now, let the next set of bashing begin!!!

Agree about the Nirvana disc, the first half is almost all top-notch, but once you get past Breed and Lithium it's all downhill. The only reason anyone remembers this album is because of the "big" songs, the rest of the album is crap.

have you ever seen the z-movie "Sinbad of the Seven Seas," starring Lou as Sinbad? SOOOOOO bad, but in the best way possible.

listen to Windy & Carl, if you want to fall asleep. they're a beautiful, gorgeous Shoegaze soundscape band that i often listen to when i want to relax.

or try Slowdive's album "Pygmalion."

Which, in that case, if you *have* to have a Nirvana album, get From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah. You get all the "big" tracks like "smells like teen spirit," "drain you," "lithium," and others, and they're all live, although for some of the songs, the sound quality isn't the greatest. Of course, if you have to have some album from the grunge scene of the early '90s, get either of Smashing Pumpkins' first two albums. Both blow that Nirvana sh*te away.

Actually, I HAD "From the Muddy Banks" but sold it particularly because of the sound quality. I guess grunge just wasn't for me :shrug:
