Do you have any albums where the sole purpose is to relax and unwind?

[mvd]

I would count my Lifescapes albums, a couple of which are called "Unwind" and "Dream."

1. Black Flag, Damaged

[Sebastian Doyle]

[Forkboy]

2. White Rainbow

It's practically meditation music.

Actually, a lot of aggressive music helps me relax and unwind, but you added the qualifier "sole purpose". :)

[mvd]

3. Yeah, I wanted to make this thread unique with that qualifier

A lot of music relaxes me, but I can listen to any time. :hi:

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

4. Tangerine Dream

Pink Floyd. Bruce BecVar. John Sebastian. Mary Black. And on and on...

[tigereye]

5. Miles Davis Kind of Blue

calms me every time.

6. All of my Sheryl Crow albums.

So chill and relaxed. I love her.

[mvd]

11. Agreed

:hi:

7. I have one called Buddha Nature by Deuter that is very relaxing

In fact the first time I listened to it on my way to work, I missed by exit from the Beltway!

[av8rdave]

8. Ray Lynch No Blue Thing

Not sure I can even describe it, but it's great relaxation music.

That and Dio's Holy Diver.

9. "The Spirit Of Eden"- Talk Talk

Nothing better:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

10. Wayne Shorter, "Speak No Evil"

One of the greatest jazz albums ever recorded...PERIOD...especially the title track. From mid-2008 until just recently, my life has been "Stress Central." This is one of the albums that got me through it all.
