@mitchables basicly i'm trying to find the most "insanely" soft/soothing music of all time

allow me to set the scene... a class of 16 three year olds is napping for two hours in their dark classroom and all we have to take their minds off the woes of preschool is my ipod and a dream machine clock radio with an auxiliary port from probably 2006

so far i've tailored a pretty good list which consists of/in:

m. ward
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/c1oG9f4SQJ4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

luka bloom's "before sleep comes" album
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nZkXxoWbhzU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

eight different 20 minute loops of this thing each with rain/fire/bird sounds in the background
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7Nnu34N5ME4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

plus more!

so U get the idea... it's good, but i want more as to avoid hearing the same songs every day namsayin. so what you think about anything along these lines... stuff that is just really really slow and lethargic yafeelme...

thanks dgg

[OssMan]

Also I think my friend played drums for that empire empire guy on his tour

This request made me think of the 1964 album "Soothing Sounds for Baby" that Wikipedia says was "originally intended to lull infants to sleep" but it is just a bunch of "insane" sounding abrasive electronic music, so would not recommend it at all

[OssMan]

yeah it sounds kinda cool but def too fast and abrasive... "abrasive" the term i was using to describe this CD of radiohead music turned into lullabies for kids:

the Wikipedia one is really good.. rest are either too fast/loud/have too much percussion

I've been debating using the jeff bridges sleeping tapes... not sure how "appropriate" it is for three year olds, they might get distracted or w/e
