Delerium.

There has never been more beautiful and provocative music for mediation, martial arts, or writing.

Check out the song Silence from the album Karma (and then check it back in again).

If you like clever, humourous and offbeat lyrics, I highly recommend Jonathan Coulton http://www.jonathancoulton.com. He's undertaken to create a song a week for a year and it's been very interesting so far.

There is a local station that does desert island discs and invites listeners to send in a list of 3 albums (except they call them discs) that you would want to have if you were stuck on a desert island...
I haven't been able to get the list down to three, or even finish making the list but here's what's on it so far:
Ellen McIllwaine (absolutely, and if I could only have one, it would be hers and it would be the live album from the Women In Emotion concert)
Joni Mitchell
The McGarrigles (I'm really fond of The McGarrigle Hour)
Blue Rodeo
The Tragically Hip
Jack Johnson
kd lang
Emmylou Harris
There are more, many more, sometimes just an individual song by an artist (rather than the body of work).
I often find myself singing *Flowers on the Wall* and *King of the Road*.

Hmmmmm. Music to take to a desert island...

I think I'd take "Requiem" by Brahms. That piece of music is complex enough to listen to it over and over again. (Of course, there are several artists that have played it.)

Any one by the "Palastorchester and its singer Max Raabe". That's a rather special German band, reenacting the 1920s musical style. Aside from playing (and singing) songs of that era, they have created new ones in that style. I love them.

Third one will be difficult... Maybe Kodo, Japanese Drums. That's exciting and at the same time a good tool for meditation.
