If you got Pakistani or Indian background then you would be familiar with a genre called Qawwali which has its origin from Sufi. Its superb and talented artist Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan mastered this genre. These types of tunes get you into a hypnogogic state I believe and you reach another level honestly its amazing. I recommend tracks from him like Allah Hoo, Dillagi, Mazaa Aa Gaya, Tauba, Mulaqat Ho Gaye, Rabba Lakh Lakh, Sano Ik Pal Chain & Yeh Jo Halka Halka.
Then you obiviously know about spiritual devotional songs wink
I would recommend music of Bach as a musical meditation...specially the Brandenburgh Concertos...and off course the slow movements from the music of Mozart, Piano Concerto No 23 for instance!!!
But perhaps you will think this as HIGH music and not listen to them wink
But its a recommendation...Regards,

OH YES, VERY TRUE INDEED! Fantastic music!

I see you are a fan of music of Bach?
Great! Yes fantastic music!The famous geneticist Steve Jones's book In the blood describes how researchers have measured the heart rates of people of different blood groups while they listened to music. They found that group As were attracted to harmony, Bs to rhythm, Os to melody and ABs liked all three (especially Bach)!
So you must be blood group AB!!!

Hi Lote Tree
Bach, Mozart, Verdi, ... their Music is without a question great pieces of art. During his lifetime nobody realized the value of the work of Bach and he was forced to compose music of much inferior quality to please the noble man he worked for. In fact this noble man, his employer even forbid him to do other work than the ordered one. Only Bach himself and some of his pupils and fellows realized what piece of work he created.
Bach had two wifes who both died young plus several kids who died young also. He died more or less poor, leaving a masterpiece of work.
I don't like everything of him but some things really calms down temper )
I don't know how it is where you live, but here they play lots of Bach in the churches, especially in the Christmas time. He is very popular here.

SalamHello Warda,
I live in the Shakespeare Country, merry little England -)
First time I heard the music of Beethoven, I was stunned! and that was at the age of sixteen on a free open air concert held at our local park! Since then Classical music became very important to my life (and music in general of course). But I think Music is very important to us. Music touches something deep inside us and we have no choice but to listen, to respond to it without understanding why... -)

The first thing I do in the morning is open the radio,when I enter my car the first thing I open is my Hi-Fi, when I am sitting at my Computer I have to listen music ... . Wherever I am I have to listen music
Some days ago my car hi-fi was stolen. Although I have financial problems in these days I bought immediatly a new one from amazon. Cause I couldn't stand it driving to work and from work without my CDs and singing or dreaming with it.... ) so after only three days I had my beloved hi-fi and music again... ) I cannot believe that music should be haram. I had an argument about that with a fellow, he was claiming that it is haram cause it prevents us from thinking of God... I answered him that whenever I listen to music, luckily singing I then remember God thanking him for life and music ) So it's rather the opposite with me.
As for classical music Do you like choirs? There are wonderful choirs from Wagner which gives you the creeps and tears in your eyes even after hearing it several times! Or from Nabucco the choir of the prisoners (I'm not sure its like that in english).
take care

WardaHello Warda,
Yes I like choral music. But my favourite is melodic orchestral works like Rachmaninovs "The Isle of the Dead"....
And in English it is known as "Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves"
from Nabucco.Regards,

I love almost every genre...except for crappy techno! I'm Bermudian and the main musical influence here is caribbean, so I LOVE reggae, SOCA, and calypso. I like rap sometimes...but mainstream hip hop and rap are all gone to pot right now......I love Rock!! classics like Guns n' roses! Right now I'm into Bloc Patry (listening to them as I write), Hawthorne Heights, Gorillaz, MIA, Kaiser Cheif, system of a down, Muse, Elephant Man, TOK, Craig David and much much more can't name them all !
