Most Peaceful Music you've Heard or Own

A couple of Enthne Vrianon's slow songs would do it.t

Usually compilations I make into playlists, or out right burn to CD. Mostly the former.

On the whole though, hartman, Prysock, or Ella. Dave Koz "At the Movies" is easy enough without being mindless fodder.

At home though, where keeping ones eyes open isn't as important, the cable ch that plays the mindless weird stuff, filled with everything from forest critters to ocean waves breaking onto the shore with a compliment of strings or the like.

The only thing I can't stand on that ch is flute playing, like Pan Fir... I can't get to the remote quick enough when he comes on.... it's as bad to me as the bluegrass remakes on pop music hits.

Some of the old Lonnie Liston Smith music. Takes you to another place.

Arvo Pärt, "Alina", on ECM. May be a little subtle for traffic but it's great at bedtime.

Almost any of the a capella Renaissance masses. Performers include the Tallis Scholars on Gimell, the Clerks' Group on ACV, the Huelgas Ensemble on Sony and Harmonia Mundi. Composers include Josquin Desprez, Ockeghem, Pipelare, Byrd, Lobo and lots more. If these are all new to you, try the Ockeghem Requiem (Clerks, ACV) or the Richafort Requiem for Josquin (Huelgas, Harmonia Mundi).

Le Pas du Chat Noir by the Anouar Brahem Trio.

Hey, Kind of Blue, but you already thought of that one.
