Nighttime music.
« on: May 01, 2011, 01:17:48 AM »
So, I'm sitting here while listening to Perdition City, and I can't help but think about what a suitable night album it is. It's mellow, atmospheric, eerie, and conjures so many images of walking down a city at night.  Do any albums strike you as containing appropriate music for nighttime? I guess it could be music to chill to, or just dark, ominous music that could suit any nighttime setting.

These stand out to me a lot:

Ulver - Perdition City
Sarah Fimm - Nexus
Type O Negative - October Rust (for a full moon)
Portishead - Dummy
Joy Division - Closer
The Smashing Pumpkins - Adore
Depeche Mode - Black Celebration
Porcupine Tree - Signify
Chiasm - Relapse
Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies

Discuss plz.

on par with the anguish one would have from getting unconsensually bent over and buttloved.

Kaki King - Everybody Loves You


the album is just a single guitar, and gets very quiet and somber at times. It's also very cool because she wrote the songs more or less as a busker in New York subways.

John Mayer - Continuum (my personal most-played late night album ever)
CING - Hotel Dusk Soundtrack (seriously, this is perfect)
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Susanne Sundfor - The Brothel
Portishead - Dummy
Brian Eno - Music For Films I
Tom Waits - Rain Dogs
Nick Drake - Bryter Layter

All of those are excellent, but I mainly use my playlist of specific tracks which are awesome instead of stuff off of those albums. Stuff like the Phoenix Wright Godot's Theme and APC's cover of When The Levee Breaks rocks.

It's the album I started with, and I'm a pretty big fan o' that gal.  :)


Her early albums (that's her debut) are all instrumental pretty much, and has time has gone on she's added more and more vocals to her albums. So it depends where in that timeline you want to go first.

I'll give Everybody Loves You a spin first. I am the giant indie, after all.

I can't believe you claimed that title before sonata...  :facepalm: .....or I awarded..

Esbjörn Svensson Trio is excellent nighttime music.

For sleep music, Buckethead's Electric Tears & Colma are excellent.

Or Piano Instrumental stuff like:
