Does the other thread for ambient music qualify as "nice, soothing music" too?

Not sure whether you have heard of this person, she is my favourite especially her latest cds. She is Yuki Nishimura. Very nice and soothing music from all her cds, however, S'pore do not carry her cds anymore, I bought her cd every year when I go to Japan.

Also like to recommend Suzanne Ciani, most of her cds are also very soothing. You can try her "Private Music".

Speaking of Japan, how can I forget Emi Fujita?

 

Emi Fujita - Camomile Extra

Emi Fujita - Camomile Blend

Oh yes, she came into the limelight when she did the soundtrack of a Japanese drama "101 proposal". The same drama has been redone and will be shown on TV soon. The Korean actress who starred in "Winter's Sonata" and "Stairways to Heaven" will take the lead role this time. I think I've got all of Yukie's albums.

 

 

If U dig electric harp, try Hilary Stagg who has since passed on. His music is sure to melt your heart and soul and transport U into a realm of beautiful landscapes.

 

Try the following link for a taste of his music.

you sure you got all the yukie albums, even the ones she release lately from 2003?

[Mackie 0]

I stand corrected; should say most and not all of Yukie's discography. Didn't buy the ones after 2001 release as there are 4 more albums in 2002/03/04 (one being a greatest hit) but I've gotten the previous 8 albums and skipped greatest hits compilations.

Japanese cds are very easy to find in HK. Check out Sino Center in Mongkok (Kowloon) and HK Records at Pacific Place, Admiralty (HK island). Those who are into anime and soundtracks will freak out with the vast collection available there.

oh i see, i thought it's only available in japan. I got all this cds too from Japan. super ex... around 40 sing, is it cheaper in HK? BTW, for soothing piano pieces, can try Kelvin Kern as well, or even Jim Brickmen (earlier albums)

Above recommended seems all with vocal. If u like soothing music without vocal and by piano I think this is a very good one:

 

December

Played by George Winston on Piano

Windham Hill Records CW-20011

 

Basically is piano Christmas music arranged and play in a very very relax mood. The pianist's skill is very good also.

For smooth jazz;

try The Braxton brothers - Sunset Bay

Fatt Burger - Spice

 

for now i can only thought of these two,but basically most smooth jazz do sound relaxing

 

I recommend a band 'Nite flyte'

Most of the pieces they produced are purely just music,don't know what to describe the genre

Recommend Nite flyte - Dawn.

 

They are rather low profile,so far i only know they released 3 albums.
