I've always found that Enya is really relaxing, but perhaps the lyrics are distracting?

Cafe del Mar is great to unwind to and help me get me into a more mindful mood, I agree, I wouldn't meditate to it, I like the really ambient stuff for meditation, no lyrics, slow and rhythmic.

Meditating in a landing airplane, while the most ominous parts of "The Good the Bad and the Ugly - soundtrack" plays in your earphones is an interesting experience. Probably not advisable for those who are afraid of flying, or otherwise prone to anxiety.

But I still love Morricones music.

My top list of meditation tracks:

- A Winged Victory for the Sullen
- Steve Reich - Koln Concert
- Deep Chilled Euphoria - Mixed by Red Jerry. Old but very good
- Brian Eno - any of his ambient works
- Tycho - Awake

I've also got a new album out of music for meditation http://mindfulnessforall.com/product/ev ... ust-music/

Sorry, I had to do a little plug :)

Plug away, my friend. :)

'Winged Victory' is great isn't it? I'm particularly fond of 'Steep Hills of Vicodin Tears.'

Going to see 'Stars Of The Lid' soon. Can't wait.

Yes, it's a timeless album.

Enjoy stars of the lid! That will be a great gig :)
