Auf die Ohren! Lullabies and other audibles for sleeping

[BenTennyson]

I'd like to share a wonderful Album I found years ago on the interwebz and imported it from UK. Originally for my oldest daughter, but today I am addicted to it myself... just can't help it :dunno:
Sophie Barkers voice is so beautiful and fits nicely into the soothing nature of the mixes she did together with KK.

Track 17 has a very relaxing/meditative effect on me. Falling asleep in the silent pause between tracks 17 and 18 very often.


So do you know of any good lullaby collections and what do YOU listen to for bedtime, if anything?
Please include links if possible.

Sounds interesting but not really my cup of tea. I normally go for a bit of David Bowie or Fall Out Boy when it's bedtime

My wife and I recently bought this amazing CD, "Violin Lullabies" performed by a 16 year old protege, Rachel Barton Pine. The lullabies are beautiful, and her playing is so beyond her years. She recently won a prestigious competition in Germany. She's a must hear!
