What sorts of music do you like for various aspects of your spirituality?
Is there a specific artist or group of artists or genre that you periodically
use for meditation, ritual, etc.? Or do you just prefer silence and the
crickets?

Whoever asked about a music item: now there's one.
If this goes anywhere, I might link it over to the Music conf, but not yet.

I particularly like drumming music. There isn't a whole lot out there, but
there is some good stuff available.
Dead can dance is my favorite. Great stuff!

Have you heard Mickey Hart's stuff? Good stuff. Also, Jonathon
Goldman has at least one CD of drumming. I have all the DCD stuff.

Mickey Hart's "Planet Drum" is especially good. For other
good drumming try Gabrielle Roth and the Mirrors. She has
about 6 or 7 albums out....and each is very different
from the other. Folks, this is what I do as a part time
job....sell music....I am pretty well versed in some areas
and no practically nothing about gunge etc.

Gunge, Sis? You don't even know how to spell it. :-)
Grunge music in ritual.. . now THAT would be an interesting conversation.
We could start with Nirvana's "Smells like stale incense"

Very cool, what can you dig up for Cuban drum music. I have two
or three albums.

Any type of moving music will do for me. It just depends on your mood.
Swelling classical music such as the Heberdies is particularly lovely if you
donot turn it up very loud. Drum work is also very very inspring.

James, Enya and Classical.
Enya is New Age? So?
Gosh... I know a few 'christians' who'd die if they knew I listened to Enya.

Enya is NewAge? I think of her as electro-Celtic same as Clannad, Altan, etc.

I refuse to think of Enya as Newage, for the simple reason that
Newage music doesn't have words. Enya does.

Though it is true that newage by most people's definition has
no words,I don't think that applies to Enya as she uses her
voice as an insturment. (I read Carribean Blue used over 200 vocal
tracks) I agree that her music is extremely condusive to meditation.
Chopin also is a great realaxer, as well as someNona Hendrix.
Concrete Blonde is good for raising energy levels.

Personally, for relaxation, I use The Planets, by Holst, and the Bolero by
Ravel.

Bolero does ANYTHING but relax me.
Try Debussy.

I've always liked Vangelis for meditation.
Enya and Mike Oldfield's older stuff is good too.

I am suprised that no one has mentioned Jean Micheal Jarre'
I mean if Carl Sagan likes it it must be good

I forgot to mention just how much classical does for me here.
Certain music, like Debussy's Danse Sacree et profane... and a LOT of
Debussy... and other specific classical music that escapes me right now.
