I really enjoy Brian Eno's Ambient 4-On Land disc to relax to. Also, his Music For Films I find is quite soothing as for massages. Many of the Miminalist composers do it for me as well (Glass, Reich, etc.).

This is really relaxing.

Happy ending massage or a nice candles & potpouri massage?

Maybe I'm wierd, but I like the soundtrack to "Four Rooms" by the Combustible Edisons. A mix of ambient spooky vocal cooing and more upbeat "happy/funny" ditties.

For the hippy potsmoker massage, I like WaxTrax "Smoker's Delight."

But then again, I'm wierd that way. Too soothing and I get bored, so I like having something to break things up, maybe get a silly laugh or titter.

Alpha has some quiet singing, but is pretty good "total relaxation" music. About all it's good for, really.

If I had to go instrumental, I'd probably bring along Miles Davis. Maybe It Never Entered My Mind.

Paul Horn did some neat stuff in the taj mahal, the great pyramid. (flute)
Steve Halpern is good for zoning out and maybe a little bland.
I am trying to figure if I can stand Deuter. I guess that is a clue.
I've had Patrick Bernhardt-Solaris Universalis on the player and I think I like it but it is turned down so low I can't really tell.

Thanks everyone. I'm going to download some stuff by each of these and give em a listen and then buy some tunes to make a CD.

Porpoise, it's for my husband as part of his Valentine's Day gift, so yes, it will probably have a happy ending ;)
