data Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 It slows your breathing and reduces brain activity to such an extent that Weightless, written by Manchester band Marconi Union, is said to be the 'most relaxing song ever'. The eight-minute track is so effective at inducing sleep, motorists have now been warned they should not listen to it whilst driving. The band worked with sound therapists to get advice on how to make the most effective use of harmonies, rhythms and bass lines. The result on listeners is a slowing of the heart rate, reduced blood pressure and lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Listen on Soundcloud.com have these people never heard of biosphere? brian eno? it's not a bad track, but lol. http://www.dailymail...nd-Boffins.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Enter a new display name Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I would understand this could be the most relaxing track played during that study, but calling it the most relaxing track ever created is a bit too much. Just look at the photo: the subject is a black woman who must certainly not know anything about ambient music (I'm not trying to be racist here). Most of the subjects didn't know ambient music even existed, I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delet... Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 They should really sack these researchers for making such an audacious and easily disproved claim, the only purpose of which was to promote their careers by grabbing media headlines. If they continue as they were it would only be bad for society, short-change if not completely misdirect their future students and rip off the taxpayer.
