2. That's a good choice

Abandoned Cities would probably fit the bill, but so would The White Arcades.

3. A different type of pick, but a band that totally relaxes me.

4. Gotta check those links tomorrow

I'm on dialup at home. I could take the Keepvid route, but I'm too sleepy for that right now. :hi:

5. Brian Eno.

I'd go with "Music For Airports" or "Apollo."

6. Kitaro

Either "Ki" or "Silk Road"... both are beautiful, and completely relaxing.

13. WOW

That is some beautiful, haunting stuff right there. Thanks for sharing. :hi:
