It's a ritual of mine to play Eno's Discreet Music during takeoff. Something about it is just so enveloping, introspective and morose and no other piece of music hits me that way. So I figure, if I'm going to die, I want it to be to Discreet Music.

Thank you for sharing! I'm currently playing Discreet Music while there's lightning and thunder outside. My dog shivers with fright during bad storms and this is helping me to calm down, which in turn helps my pup.

    What a beautiful scene. Something about Discreet Music just says.... things aren't perfect, sometimes they're scary or confusing, but it's going to be okay. It's like the repeating motif acts as a constant reassurance, but from many different perspectives over the length of the record. Hope the pup's doing okay now :)

Mine is Burning Airlines Give You So Much More, also by Eno.

Mine is Giegling Mix 07. Less ambient and more 4/4 + breakbeat but beautifully emotive. Even better during sunset

    Thanks for this. I'd heard a few of the tracks on this before but the mix was a great way to start the morning.

    This is mine too. This Is Not is one of if not the best mixes I’ve heard in my entire life. This and Live at Planet Uterus.
