Music to Chill Out and Relax

[Arsonist]

I have been making a playlist on spotify to help me relax (especially when doing essays, this really helps) and I thought I might share it with you. It has a bit of everything from Massive Attack to Gary Numan.

Take a look here: [url]http://open.spotify.com/user/arsonist00/playlist/1bayLhmLAydrnsRjd2Uov7[/url]

Has anyone got any suggestions for songs to add to this?

"Kenotic" by Hammock

"Copia" by Eluvium

probably more ambiance this will do though

[Arsonist]

Thanks, I am looking for something with a tune to it rather than generic calming sounds

The one by Goldfish is pretty good though, keep em coming!

[Teto]

Maybe what you need is just lounge?

"Beach Ball" by Lemongrass

Liquid Drum & Bass is relaxing to me, even though the beat is pretty fast
