No further evidence is needed for that claim.
 
 

It didn't make me relaxed at all. It just made me bored and fidgety. I started picking my nose at one point. If this were genuinely relaxing then I would have just enjoyed each moment as it came instead of constantly wondering when in the hell it was going to do something different. It just sounds like any of 1001 "ambient" tracks we listened to at post-rave parties in the early 90's while coming down off our Trendy Chemical Amusement Aid. And good God it bored me silly then too. 
 
Give me something like the Mahavishnu Orchestra's "Power Of Love" or the Art Of Noise's "Moments In Love" any day. 
 
 

Hi,
 
The list that was mentioned is so full of merde it's not funny.
 
If meditation and relaxation music you want, you do not want lyrics or things that have a tendency to distract your ability to meditate as words ALWAYS will.
 
If you want to hear pure meditation music, you might want to start with the original, Hemmings and Wolff, in the album "Tibetan Bells", and if you want to graduate you can do Frank Perry's "Deep Peace" and then "New Atlantis". These are all Tibetan Bells.
 
Many others out there:
 
(Make sure you know what "meditation" is!)
(Meditation is about you learning your own flow, not flowing/tripping with someone else's.)
 
Popol Vuh - Almost all their albums although the last ones got a bit more familiar, than the long extended moments of quiet, before.
 
Klaus Schulze - To an extent - Music for adept meditators only, these tracks are often 30 minutes long or more and they are a very detailed inner trip that is very relaxing and enjoyable if you are not stuck on pop music.
 
Bryan Eno - Started what became known as "Ambient Music" in the early 70's. One of the first albums that were out, was actually a Fripp and Eno album called "No Pussyfooting" and it was excellent, although no one, at the time, could handle guitar "trips" as the only title possible for what this is. His explorations and experiments create a lot of inner quiet that is very good for meditation.
 
David Parsons - Some meditation music that has taken the winds in the Himalayans and turned them into keyboard work and it does have some local chants and such. But it is massively pretty.
 
Tangerine Dream - very nice flowing stuff in the early days (Zeit/Atem/Phaedra). Harder to interpret later as it became more "theme" oriented, and anything that is "theme" oriented will break the meditative state right away -- it prevents your own flow by attracting yo to another flow.
 
Keith Jarrett - Some of his piano explorations, are inspired by Gurdjieff (sp.). The connection might be a bit more difficult to investigate, but it has to do with the freedom of the playing until it resolves itself into a piece of its own.
 
Roedelius/Rother - The famous folks behind the electronic inspired music, on their own, are very experimental and trippy. Cluster/Kluster also fits.
 
Paul Horn - In the late 60's a few albums showed up inside the Taj Mahal, and other places. Paul played his flute to wonderful natural echoes and brilliantly recorded. One of the best albums of music ever recorded. He did others as well.
 
Stomu Yamash'ta - In the later days, after "GO", he did some spiritual work that was not quite theme oriented and was quite pretty.
 
Kitaro - Despite his new age connection, he did have some wonderful music that not many folks listen to. It does have a nice inner quiet.
 
Deuter - German guy that produced some very nice albums. His popularity kinda died some when his group got in trouble in America (Oregon), and his work, kinda disappeared for a while. Many of his albums are wonderfully well done and very quiet listens.
 
I have not learned how to meditate with the hindu masters like Khan and many others, and I am not sure why, though I love some of their music. Khan's stuff with Jan Garbarek is magnificent and truly inspiring. Likewise the "ragas" that Egberto Gismonti had done in the  early days with his guitars. These were priceless and very quiet on the inside, although they tended to place your imagination in the jungle, without the sounds.

This is pretty relaxing most of the time for me.

Hi,
 
That piece of music listed at the top, is actually nice, but not something that we're used to listen to and enjoy.
 
It has nothing to do with relaxing and what not, because at this point our minds are moving so fast, that you and I can barely shut up and just enjoy a moment of quiet in anyone's work, whatsoever, not to mention make disparaging comments, that simply show how mean spirited some people are amidst trying to be funny, or just adding another post to the whole thing!
 
After all, post count, IS everything!
 
There was a lot of this in the 70's by many players, and one of the last pieces of these that I heard, was a group actually called "Rain" during the 90's that had some very nice long trips that were enjoyable. Since then, it seems that the DAW has taken over and people forgot that there are other things that you can do with music, other than the mechanical works that have become the norm that we think will take us to heaven and back safely so we can go back to work tomorrow.
 
Weird, I never had that issue! I could trip all night on "Zeit", or "Atem" or "Alpha Centauri" and later "Ypsilon in Malaysian Pale" or "Rubycon", that when things upgraded and changed later a bit, and you had others doing it in the 80's, it all started sounding more congenial and clean, and things like "Music for Airports" or other Ambient stuff done by Eno, was actually sounding very good and clean ... but it was not "sleepy" as some of you thought, which is a factor of one's inability to hear music without a beat or a song format or a drum sound! (Hearing something more "familiar")
 
Remember that!

Rubycon and Phaedra, both fun.  Then I love Optical Race, Exit, Lily on the Beach, Rockoon, Tyger & Goblin's Club.  The Dream Mixes are a nice change up.  So many styles, so much to like!  (Hey, what can I say?  I've got over 130 albums from them plus the Canyon Dreams DVD which they supply the soundtrack for.  )
