*** [ Brain Music ] ***

Banging trance is fine for dancing up a storm. Down and dirty prog/house is cool for getting your groove on. and all those other fat electro beats are a good motivator for doing the robot dance...

but..

sometimes i need some nice chill music to play in the background so that i can let my brain process, while i study or read. i definitely cannot study with 200bpm trance blasting in the background.

so w/o further ado, my list of my favorite 'brain music'... hopefully some of you guys can agree/disagree, and maybe share some tunes that i haven't heard b4!

ALBUMS
* BT - This Binary Universe (a modern masterpiece)
* Ulrich Schnauss - A Strange and Lonely Place
* Ulrich Schnauss - Far Away Trains Passing By (so beautiful... +_+ )
* Dousk - D.I.Y. (a prog genious)
* Moshic - Salamat CD2 (chillout)
* Willam Orbit - Hello Waveforms (very underrated album, very intelligent, from the man who produced Madonna's Ray of Light album)
* Chicane - Behind the Sun
* Chicane - Far From the Maddening Crowds
* Kaito - 100 Million Light Years
* Sarah Mclachlan albums
* Nobuo Uematsu Piano Compositions (the man behind the epic Final Fantasy tunes)

SINGLES
* Chicane - Saltwater (Thrillseekers mix... awesome!)
* Ruxpin - In the Form of a Bird I meet my Creator
* Masters & Nickson - Out There (Christian Rusch remix)
* Matthew Adams - Sunscape, Brightest Star
* Lux - Northern Lights
* Mirco De Govia - Voller Stern
* Mike Foyle - Shipwrecked
* Rapid Eye - Circa Forever (chillout R.E.M.ix)
* Solar Stone - 7 Cities (AVB remix)
* Chicane - Halcyon
* PvD - Face to Face
* PvD - Forbidden Fruit
* PvD - Together We Will Conquer
* Banco De Gaia - Obsidian
* Orbital - Halcyon + On + On

any other suggestions would be appreciated!

Leama and Moor - Common Ground (album)

Posted by above'N'beyond on Mar-01-2007 21:22:

Ok so maybe I'm a little obsessed with this album, but it is the perfect chillout music...Above and Beyond's first solo group album Tri-State is perfect for studying/sleeping.....a masterpiece in my humble opinion

Ohmigod whoever was spinning at CZ Sunday around 10am played the coolest fuckin' mix of Porcelain I've ever heard in my life. And of Rui Dasilva - Touch Me about an hour before that...

The song's gold, tho. +1 for Massive Attack, too.

as for brain music I would have to say that most of the tracks by

Gouryella (ferry and tiesto) ARE what i call brain music.

I'm checking out what others are contributing! :P but a few tracks come to mind that haven't been listed yet...

DJ Orkidea - Beautiful (Ambient Mix)
BT - Music From And Inspired By The Film Monster (a must own!)
Mike Foyle vs Signalrunners - Love Theme Dusk
Motorcycle - as the rush comes (gabriel & dresden chillout mix)
