What are some good Remixes/Soundtracks/Songs to sleep to?

[Terial]

I've recently had a problem falling asleep at night in my dorm, and I've tried playing music when I go to sleep, turns out I feel about ten times better when I wake up the next day.

I was wondering about some good remixes that are good to fall asleep or sleep to?

I have a playlist with most of MYST and RIVEN's soundtracks on it, as well as Jivemaster's Symphonic Ruin, EgM's Sol Sanctum Guitar (Awesome song btw), Seaside lullaby, symphonic ballade, and a few Chrono Trigger Remixes. And the newest Chrono Cross mix, and I quite enjoy it atm.

Looking forward to seeing what you all think.

Well, Over at Anime Remix, Jill has a nice laid back mix

Lullaby for Tohru

[zircon]

Believe it or not I find a lot of Disco Dan's stuff is hypnotic enough that, at lower volumes, it can help you get to sleep. I'm also partial to Alisia Dragoon - "Halls of Abandonment".

[Hum4n After All]

I enjoyed Dreaming On Distant Shores while going to sleep.

Also RiverofTime AmIEviL. Really good mix to listen to. The sound of the rain is soothing.

And PearlSong. Wonderful piano work. And the theme is great. Really dreamlike.

Recently I've been enjoying Transformers the Score before I go to sleep. Before that I always listened to This Binary Universe by BT. That album is really good to go to sleep. Mainly the first track(All That Makes Us Human Continues) and track 5.(See You On The Other Side) I really suggest track 5.

Well uh thats all I got on me right now. Can't really think much since I'm in class at the moment.

Final Fantasy Potion is pretty nice. I don't remember where I got it from, but it's based on the FF Piano Collections (which is another good choice).

Children of the Monkey Machine recently did an awesome ambient 34 min (!!) Tetris mix called "The Battle of Chernobyl," complete with soothing pads and chirping crickets, that blew my pajamas off. Very nice to listen to before hitting the hay, although I should warn you that there are one or two sound effects that might be a little loud/jarring.

Catch it now before the WIP thread is gone!

Not remixes, or gamey even, but I fall asleep easily to Mitsuda's Kirite.

[Arek the Absolute]

Have you listened to pure static before?

No, seriously. The white noise is more than enough to knock me the hell out. I highly recommend you try it.

$8 for the MP3 album. Not bad if I do say so myself!

[suzumebachi]

Man, every time. Once again everyone neglects Hazama's Suikoden II mix. THE most relaxing song on the site.

I've fallen asleep to quite a few songs from the Chrono Cross OST, like Jellyfish Sea, Prisoners of Fate, Radical Dreamers, as well as the Homeworld/Another World themes. Also, surprisingly, the Donkey Kong Country games have some sleep inducing songs, like Aquatic Ambiance from DK1, and Stickerbrush Symphony [aka Brambles theme] from DK2.

As far as anime soundtracks go, the Wolf's Rain OST has some very relaxing songs such as Shiro - Long tails, Gravity, Cloud 9, Tell Me What the Rain Knows, etc. Evangelion also has a few good songs to fall asleep to like Rei's Theme and Thanatos.

Also, Brian Eno is great to listen to when falling asleep. I'd recommend playing his entire "Music For Films" album on loop.

I could list many more, but that's all I can think of at the moment.

[Theory of N]

Hell, I have a whole playlist that plays every night that helps me sleep.

As far as ReMixes go, the one that stands out in my mind is 'Kizukaseru' by Unipulator. http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00903/

However, I find that most of the music in my playlist comes from various Cafe Del Mar albums I've found. Very relaxing stuff. Also, I have the .hack//Sign OST, Mindi Abair, Grover Washington Jr., some Candi Dulfer (I like saxophone music), and some music from an album I found using StumbleUpon (http://www.lunarmusic.net/).

I can do just about anything but fall asleep to his music

[Terial]

Wow, didn't expect so many replies. I checked out Pixietrick's song on Animeremix, I very much enjoy it, I think it'll go near the top of my playlist. I checked out the other songs on OCR as well, and I really like them as well, especially River of Time (It's alwaays great when I can smile to myself after recognizing the source material, heh).

Also, Ocarina of Time's Prayer is great too, I really love Pixietrick's singing in that song. I feel like I'm just completely relaxed hearing it. (The original song was very haunting.)

I'm going to edit my playlist now and get back to this thread tommorow. Any more opinions would be great.

[Catriona Clawford]

I'd suggest McVaffe's Yoshi's Lullaby and Crystalline Caverns. I think the latter has a 'mellow' feel to it.

If you're looking outside game mixes as well, I'd suggest checking out Secret Garden as they have a lot of relaxing music too. I often listen to their songs to help me sleep.

[shikigami]

anything by Discordance Axis.

oh god you guys are going to hate me.

[SwordBreaker]

Vigilante's Beneath the Surface Remix from Donkey Kong Country. Man...that song is so fucking awesome. You'll definitely chill to it as you fall asleep.

[Moguta]

Man, every time. Once again everyone neglects Hazama's Suikoden II mix. THE most relaxing song on the site.

Not everyone! I know that song's soothing powers well. Also, there's an "official" arranged version of the same Reminiscence theme which is very calming as well.

But what about CotMM's totally ambient chilled take on Secret of Mana's Pure Night, "Pure Lands (Total Darkness)"? Or the two Pot Hocket tracks from Voices of the Lifestream, seemingly plucked from a guitar of gently-laid heartstrings? Vigilante's "May Fortune Smile Upon You"?

And in a totally non-VGM vein, Suzanne Teng's flute playing is a nice fluffy pillow of sound. Or better yet... a magic carpet, floating in midair...

Or maybe I just need to get to sleep myself. o.o

[Necrotic]

Vigilante's Beneath the Surface Remix from Donkey Kong Country. Man...that song is so fucking awesome. You'll definitely chill to it as you fall asleep.

Vigilante's May Fortune Smile Upon You song from Metal Gear Solid too.

This is a great thread by the way. I need some sleep music.

A couple from here that I feel you should take a look at:

Deathonthesnowfield (Final Fantasy VI) by AmIEviL

http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00205/

Return to Elysian Lands (Secret of Mana) by Nigel Simmons

http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01172/

Aquescent Symphony (Zelda 64) by Theophany

http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01150/

To name a few.

[Jaybell]

I loves me some chill tracks. I've never really fallen asleep to something, but Prot's Brambles mix (I think it was Brambly Rivers?) and Forest Birdcussion, I imagine, would be good. As would be the originals from Donkey Kong Country 2 (Stickerbrush Symphony and Forest Interlude, respectively.) Glow Worm Jim from Mazedude's American Album might be good too, but there's a big funky beat near the end which may wake you up.

Also, once when I was depressed, I found it oddly helpful just walking around at night listening to Invertebrate Retreat by Daniel Baranowsky. (Another thing that helps with sadness is Lizardino Slayer Quartet by ilp0, but not because it's chill; it's impossible to listen to that and not be happy. But this is UNRELATED.)

[Sgt. Fuzzy]

Just about anything from Dhsu. Rainbow Snowland and Nirvana are particularly sleep-inducing. Another Fair isn't bad either.

djpretzel's Pachelbel's Ganon (well, not so much) and theophany's Aquescent Symphony... also, Under A New Moon by Fatty Acid and sephfire is pretty good too, though I've found myself unconsciously snapping my fingers to the beat, so that may not be an optimal choice.
