Jazz. There's something about the lack of rhythm that makes me lose interest. Trouble is, jazz musicians know that happens, so once in a while they blast out something really loud & jarring, like one trumpet playing B while the other plays B-flat.

" A nice relaxing bath with Pink Floyd playing Atronome Domine"

As long as you're not trying to play your concertina along with it.

Cheers Les

Depends whether this an effect that you are trying to avoid or something that that you are looking to achieve.

A nice relaxing bath with Pink Floyd playing Atronome Domine is just right after a hard day's DIY!

Listening to uillean pipes has that effect on me, not because I don't like them, I just find slow tunes on them induce drowsiness.

I actually find that the better the music the more likely I am to doze off - I once told this to an artist in whose set I offended and I think he thought I was just trying to apologise for being bored - but if you are totally immersed in music everything else disappears, including consciousness!

One time at Ely Festival I went to sleep in the middle of a Bernard Wrigley set ! - Nothing to do with Bernard , It was Saturday morning and I had spent the previous week helping my bro drop the Bedroom ceilings to make the attic high enough to use ! I was KNACKERED .

Do you find youself drifting sometimes? Good as he is I always find Martyn Wyndham Read has this effect on me. Nice mellow voice, pleasant but all very similarly paced songs and i'm slipping away. I find watching David Attenborough on the box has the same effect.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
