JSngry Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Lately it's been Joni Mitchel's Both Sides Now. Great arrangements, tunes, transparent recording, mellow voice, in the words of Larry Kart's great phrase of about a week or so ago, "not cheap" (thanks for that one, Larry, lot of meat on that bone, for real) about an hour long, perfect for laying down, drifting off, snoozing a tad, drifting back in, waking up physically rested, mentally refreshed, and musically pleased. Napping is recommended, so what's your napping recommendation? More than one selection is allowed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.D. Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Recently picked up this weird microtonal accordion + electronics disc, which is pleasant to nod off to... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdavenport Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I always liked "The Jimmy Giuffre 3" on Atlantic for my naps. I don't nap to music any more, as there is no comfortable chair / sofa / bed where the stereo is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertoart Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 If I'm listening to vinyl, hopefully nothing, as my turntable doesn't have an automatic return function. If I'm listening to cd, I use the repeat function and hope to turn a short nap into a good nights sleep. Wes Montgomery's Goin Out Of My Head (absolutely gorgeous, lush recording) or California Dreaming are favourites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedR Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 A lot of the Johhny Smith Mosaic relaxes me into a nice nap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
