I'm curious, for anyone out there who does massage, what music do you like to use?

For those of you out there who get massages, what sort of music do you like getting massages to? What type of music would you like to receive massages to?

I ask as a professional massage therapist, and I'm open to pretty much any suggestions, any style of music. I like to have a wide variety of stuff available for clients, even stuff I may not love but know that it's something the client's might want, like Enya (who is actually growing on me).

Some of the non-traditional (instrumental or not) music that I like massaging (and receiving massages) to are:

Morcheeba (especially the album Big Calm)
Portishead
Bob Marley (I actually found an album of Marley in "ambient dub", pretty interesting stuff)
Burning Sky (native american instrumental)
Sigur Ros (especially the ( ) album)
Sacred Spirits (sort of a cross of Native american music, Pink Floyd and trip hop....laff
Sade

So help me out folks...what's some good stuff out there?

EDITED to add: Anyone in S. Florida looking for massage, drop me an email!

Oh the pain of a lonely thread....won't someone recommend some music that helps them to relax and/or unwind?

Please? A bajillion dollars to the first response....oh wait, that would be me! Woohoo!

Sigh.....

Try Dead Can Dance. Very relaxing and very beautiful.

You might also want to look into Delerium.

Are you female? Hot? How about you give me a massage some time?

Probably not. He owns Poison Ivy and Reservoir Dogs on DVD. Not really lady-like. Could be a butch though.

Slayer: "Reign In Blood"

Rypro 525

maybe early Watters Pink Floyd, yeah there are lyrics but the music is very relaxing imo (early imo is "meddel, dsotm, and wywh)

Well thailor, anytime big boy....

But seriously, evenflowddt (by the way, that's Poison Ivy 3, make sure you get it right....laff...cheesy smut flicks that aren't hardcore are fine by me when it comes down to Jaime Pressly!) is correct in the sense that I am a guy, so no, if you're looking for a "happy massage" or a "full release" massage, you ain't gonna get one from me, and hopefully not from any REAL massage therapist. If you want one of those massages, let your girlfriend give it to you...do some role-playing!

Thanks for the recommendations thus far...I'll have to check out Dead Can Dance...I've seen that name pop up in Amazon when looking up other music...

Nodeerforamonth, like I said, I'm open-minded for the music, if a client requests Slayer, I'm game. I don't know how much relaxing they'll get done, but I know I'd enjoy the music! Slayer rules! (Did I really just say "rules"?....yeesh)

Aww crap. Never mind.
