Members Bones Posted August 19, 2005 Members Share Posted August 19, 2005 Born to Run - Springsteen Hush - Deep Purple My Old School, Kid Charlemagne, Reelin' In The Years - Steely Dan Layla - Eric and Ds original version. Admittedly nothing feel-good lyrically in the above. I just love the tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darkstorm Posted August 19, 2005 Members Share Posted August 19, 2005 Varies a lot with me. Sometimes some good over the top Black or Thrash metal is just the thing for chilling out and happy mood Other times some elecronica, goth, or whatever is playing on rock radio station. So for me its partly whats in the mood for, & partly just hearing a band haveing fun playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members J3RK Posted August 19, 2005 Members Share Posted August 19, 2005 Originally posted by urbanscallywag I don't think I've ever seen it straight through. I only watch Tron, Ghostbusters, or Office Space alone. I watch Tron and Ghostbusters alone monthly. (I think we've had this conversation before though.) My two favorite movies of all time. Not that they are cinematic masterpieces, or extremely deep and involving, but they are extremely fun, silly, and interesting. Plus the soundtrack to Tron is incredible. Anyway, as far as the topic goes, I'd go with a mixture of things. Perhaps some Jarre, Bladerunner Blues, some of the more spacey Future Sound of London stuff, and any other somewhat ambient, yet still musical music. That stuff always relaxes me.

Members J3RK Posted August 19, 2005 Members Share Posted August 19, 2005 Sinner6: Good stuff there. I don't know that I'd unwind with it, (though I suppose that would depend on my mood.) That, Off, Hardwired and perhaps Too Dark Park would fall into the non-relaxing-music-that-could-still-potentially-relax-me category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members urbanscallywag Posted August 19, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 19, 2005 Tons of music I haven't heard (or remember) before! Thanks. Re: Ghostbusters, yeah we've had this conversation. Just like the movies, it doesn't get old. I can't get over Ghostbusters, I mean every single line is a joke. Ever heard that Jega track with the Tron "sequence" in the background? Its the first track on Geometry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I may be wired backwards in that if I really want to be cheered up by music, I will put on the noisiest, most abrasive stuff I have. I chose "up Evil" because it truly (to this day) never fails to inspire and excite me...without being all that agressive. What is "hardwired"? Mentioning it in the same sentence as TDP and OFF makes me think I may have missed out on something wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentioning it in the same sentence as TDP and OFF makes me think I may have missed out on something wonderful. It's Frontline Assembly circa '96(ish) Quite possibly my favorite FLA album. (Neural Implant being the other possibility.) Every once in a while I'm in that state. (where music like this puts me at ease) I used to listen to this sort of music when I'd go to sleep. Not as much anymore though. Now, pretty much anything that I like relaxes me. As for suggestions for other people though, I usually keep it to the softer, spacier electronic.

Members Rabid Posted August 19, 2005 Members Share Posted August 19, 2005 I cannot believe that no one mentioned Katrina and the Waves - Walking on Sunshine For a pick-me-up I also like Sly & The Family Stone - I Want to Take You Higher If you are willing to listen to gospel then go to Amazon and listen to clips of Sounds of Blackness - The Evolution of Gospel. My favorites are Optimistic, Pressure, Testify, He Holds the Future, and I'll Fly Away. A lot of variety of styles on this CD whiich I think was produced by Jam and Lewis. Africa to America: The Journey of the Drum was their next CD and is also pretty good. This is the two CD's I listen to at work when things are really getting bad. A lot of talent on those two CD's.
