Good, chill wake-up music

[JimmyJazz]

I'm a huge noob to electronic music, but I really want to find more slow tempo stuff that I can use to wake up and/or nurse a hangover. :p

I've heard a lot of recommendations for Air (see? told you I was a noob) but in what I've heard from them their vocals are too girly, or in some way get on my nerves, I can't quite articulate it.

M83 has a few good songs but they're not quite exactly what I'm looking for. Daft Punk is definitely cool, but I wouldn't call most of their stuff exactly "chill".

I definitely like a few MGMT songs for this purpose of waking up, and I've always been pretty crazy about this song from Radiohead, "Meeting In The Aisle":

Plus the entirety of Kid A.

Whenever I ask people this, they start recommending Portishead or Sigur Ros or whatever they think is chill and good to wake up to. But I don't want trip hop and I don't want space rock, I'm specifically looking for stuff that is dance/techno-y, only with a much slower tempo, and I don't care if it has lyrics or not but the singer's voice can't get on my nerves. When I'm home sick or tired or hungover I usually listen to dub, so that should give you an idea about the kind of tempo.

Edit: Oh yeah, another perfect example--if you go on itunes and search for the album Invol2ver, I love the song "Flesh".

Massive Attack and Tricky are always good first thing in the morning.

[Os Cangaceiros]

Personally, I rock Slayer's Reign in Blood or hardcore techno when I wake up in the morning.

No chilled out bullshit for me! :cool:

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

Pink Flag is a great album for mornings

I usually get very mild hangovers that don't make me sensitive to sound

[Y Chwyldro Comiwnyddol Cymraeg]

Jazz to wake up: Miles davis or if I can bare a voice the only one I can listen to with a hangover is Billie Holiday

[Krazed Silence]

Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks by Brian Eno,especially 'An Ending (Ascent)', good to fall asleep 2 aswell defo when hungover & ure feeling sorry for yaself lol

I win. Is that jump possible? If so, if I did that jump I'd feel like a demigod.

[StalinFanboy]

This is what I wake up to

I just heard this song called "Clever Mind" by The Mighty Bop. Amazing. But unfortunately not on youtube.

Taig: Boards of Canada are awesome, thanks.

[Invader Zim]

Taig, its a good song, but I can go one better: -

[Robespierre2.0]

Fear not! I am here to help!

I suggest the following:

Adani & Wolf, Ali Di Meola, Bonobo, Broken Social Scene, DNTEL, Mazzy Star, mum, My Bloody Valentine, Neu!, The Orb, Robin Guthrie, Slowdive, Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto, Steve Reich (Music for 18 Musicians), Tortured Soul, Yellow Magic Orchestra

If you have to pick one, I suggest The Orb... or mum.

Personally, though, I wake up to Sun O))) every morning.

edit: If Air's girly vocals bother you, I suggest their 'Virgin Suicides OST' album. It's (mostly) instrumental.

[Pirate Utopian]

I'll second Brian Eno.

And suggest Neu! and Tangerine Dream.

Fishermans Blues by the waterboys :thumbup:

[Glenn Beck]

great album, I usually hate that kind of music but Belle and Sebastian are just great and that album in particular.

I also uphold Comrade Mantis' astute musical recommendations for glorious proletarian auditory experience

[Post-Something]

Lots of awesome replies to the thread so far, like Boards of Canada, MBV etc. But, the absolute pinnacle of chillout electronica is without a doubt "Bent".

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=msylDZlCcmA&eurl=http://www.last.fm/music/Bent/_/I+Love+My+Man

Actually, I wake up to Sublime and Explosions in the Sky for chillout music, but if you want electronica, go for Bent definitelly!

[Glenn Beck]

I would suggest Stereolab, also. If you don't know them they are leftist, as a bonus. Here's the only pop song ever written about the business cycle

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w09h0unzZJE

We need more good socialist pop :(. I hate punk and metal

[JimmyJazz]

It's been a while since I've had a song in my head as much and for as long as this one:
