i am a stay at home mom and i have decided i NEED to have music on for at least a few hours a day to zone out into. problem is i am SO tired of all my regular music, and i am looking more for something i can relax into. something uplifting without lyrics that flows and that i can have on in the backround to elevate my mood without either tripping me out or being too obvious.. and without being elevatory either!

is there such a music out there? any suggestions?

thanks!!

I like some of these "New Age" internet radio stations here:

I loved the music they piped into the exam rooms at my acupuncturist's office, but it's hard to find tradtional Chinese music like that.....

What about Enya??

If you're into rock, you might want to check out Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai or Russian Circles. (The last one is a bit on the harder side.) The one album I thought of when I read your post was "Unfolding" by Axiom of Choice.

Other instrumental groups that I like: Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin (particularly his latest album), Tortoise, Grails and The Mercury Program.

I would also throw in some Loreena McKennitt in this genre because her voice is more an instrument to me than the average vocals (and sometimes I have no idea what she's saying, her voice just sounds like a really cool wind instrument.) lol!

this is my relaxing-music favourite .. ( except for the irritating marketing ads ) ..
they have internet broadcasting .. though i've no idea what the quality is like ..

after 02.00 am gmt it's chill-out music ..
on sundays' chill-out there's often electronic compositions ..

If you have a Yahoo email address, you can always tap into their Launchcast Radio which plays in a pop-up window, or download the Yahoo Jukebox to listen to - they have many genres to choose from, and if you like, you can rate the ones you love/hate. As you rate, the chances of them playing what you like get much higher - you can save your preferences in genre/artist/song/album.
