I'm going for a massage and my massuse tells me I can bring my own music. Last time I brought Greetings From Asbury Park, By the Boss. Today I'll Bring Robert Mirabell The native American Flute player.

What would you bring?

I would probably bring something with Deuter, an old "New Age"-composer. I've got 6 CD's with his music and I think it's great for relaxation and meditating. And why not for massage? You can listen to him if you go here, search for Deuter, chose a CD and click on the SONGS/TRACKS tab.

Wasn't that was Humble Pie, Martin, not Savoy Brown....

Nevermind...

I certainly wouldn't pick "Greetings from Asbury Park" fir a massage. Maybe a little Ravi Shankar, 'er Sandy Bull, 'er Emmylou... Don't want nuthin' too jumpy when yer trying to relax.

Yeah, Humble Pie it was.

But Savoy Brown went on to become Foghat, that I am for certain.

Since my wife does her massage and chiropractic work in the room next to my office in the house, I have to listen to silence or "massage music," often called "healing music." Most of my folk recordins are unacceptable, I've been told.
My wife is a wonderful person, but sometimes I'm tempted to play the Doors at full volume.

Mudcat's MusicMan's CD Farewell; also dare I say, a couple of Enya's early ones, as well as early Enigma CDs.

I have a fav. bought at Target, of all places, called Guitar and Sea and it is lovely, not at all schlock or muzaky.:-)

Best of all, though,all Native American flute and drum, are early Carlos Nakai, Coyote Oldman, and/or my VERY fav. John Rainier, Jr. You can only get his through him by mail. I have his email if you are interested.

Thanks, bernil, for the links to Deuter's stuff. I can't stand Kirato, etc, but am listening to "White" and enjoying it, in the right mood it could be very relaxing.:-)

Bach... maybe the Brandenburgs and some other of his stuff, Corelli, Telleman, Vivaldi, Couperin... mostly Baroque music, I think. I find it relaxing and it clears my mind. Or maybe it creates order in my mind and that makes it feel more serene.

right now, I'm listening to Yoshikazu Mera, a Japanese counter tenor (higher than tenor, lower than alto) at times when i want to unwind.
his voice is incredibly beautiful.

another singer whose voice i love, for its soft, thick, gentleness is Sean Keane, an Irish folksinger. his beautiful voice often lulls me to sleep.

W.A. Mozart especially for Refloxology, ,Opera so long as its in a language you do not understand (so you dont fasten on the words and start Listening) " On the Beautiful Blue Danube" Strauss, " La Mystere de Vox Bulgares", Takemitsu, (some pieces with Shakuhatchi)But definately NOT anything that you hear as narrative.

My favourite when attending acupressure massage sessions, not so often these days unfortunately as my practicioner friend has moved to the far side of the city, has been "Cho", a collaboration between American guitarist and composer Steve Tibbetts and Ani Drolma Choying, a young Tibetan nun living in Nepal.

In fact I like to listen to this album any time I need a quiet relaxing moment.

Peace

One of my favourites is an Australian, Riley Lee, who is a master of the shakuhachi flute. I have one of his CD's, "Oriental Sunrise", but I have heard others, and they are all good. His website is here. There are MP3's of a number of tracks.

Kat I actualy Brought Carlo Nakai with me as I couldn't find Robert Mirabells CD in my pile of CDs

Mirabell is good, too, but I really prefer early Nakai. I don't like his later albums with other musicians chiming in.

Micca, trouble with Mozart is, I either want to get up and start conducting the string parts or pretend I'm playing the keyboard!**bg**

Forgot to mention the album "Ronrocco" by Gustavo Santaollala click for sample audio. It is fantastic.

Another fav. I would use this way, sometimes is Donovan's Sutras.

There's the category of "ocean sounds" recordings - very soothing stuff. I think the idea is not to have music that is too "active," but hey, whatever music makes you feel relaxed, it's the right music.

Well, Metallica's quite good for stimulating the adrenals ....

but if you're in a lot of pain, try Slipknot, Slayer or Rage Against the Machine. Or maybe a bit of Hurt CoPain's Nirvana. All guaranteed to smash your eardrums, deaden your senses and dull your brain so much you'll simply forget those petty insignificant little pains!    ;-)
