I have a big list of favourites - but most of these have already been mentioned in this thread, so no use repeating. Just a question: On 3 Oct 2004 at 13:52, Juho Hietala wrote:

Do you mean you put it on and allow it to run through once and by the end of it drift off to sleep, or do you put it on endless repeat for the duration of the night and wake up to it still going round? Now with MP3's it's easy to compile a playlist lasting hours and hours and one could start playing music on Monday morning and by next Sunday night there'd still be fresh tracks coming on... however, living with a husband and two children doesn't allow for this indulgence. So: how do you do it? Do you live alone? Do your drive your partner mad? Does your partner share your direction in musical style? I must also add that the subject line completely baffled me. Records that Toto listen to before sleeping??? WHOA :-) And who's to know? Are the groupies keeping lists of the music played in various hotel bedrooms?! Apart from 76:14, which will always rank as a favourite, Air's Moon Safari also works well as a sleepy background. Monolake's Hong Kong and Gobi the Desert, SCION Arrange And Process Basic Channel Tracks, Rhythm & Sound, anything hypnotically repetitive like Vladislav Delay, the early FAX releases, Arovane's Tides & Lilies, Bola's FYUTI, Beefcake, Biosphere, BoC High Scores EP, Console Live at the Pompidou Centre, Swim Team #1 comp, Ambient Soho comp., Earthrise (Ninja Tune compilation from looooong ago - brilliantly dreamy) - etc. etc. Also the Em:t releases, esp. the wonderful WOOB #1194. Oh! and not to forget my old favourite: Aural Expansion's Surreal Sheep. All good. (sorry, there I went off on a tangent after saying no use adding to the thread). Goodnight and sleep well wherever you may be! Regards from Cape Town South Africa where it's a balmy warm night.
