I remember a friend burned me some rockabye baby music when my second son was born. its basically music redone in baby lullaby form. He gave me a radiohead one and a bjork one. I just searched to for it right now but saw that it was pretty expensive.

When my first son was born, I basically made a playlist that consisted of more playful idm and ambient like a few tracks from the Ventolin EP, BOC, Plone, Solvent, etc. He's now 6 and his favorite track is Aquarius by BOC. Its funny because he knows who Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, Quasimoto, MF Doom, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, and Beatles are... But he doesn't know a damned thing about stuff like Beiber or Lady Gaga or whatever else is out there in the pop world.

my daughter liked to fall asleep to the kitchen extractor when she was tiny.

This is a good one that my youngest likes... everytime he hears it he wants me to play it over and over! Once there were other kids over and they were listening to this dancing around like mad kids. and one of the pushy moms was like "do you have anything else they can dance to?" and I said "No!"

This is basically my mission. I was trying to remember the name of the rockabye albums, cheers.

I think I'm going to expand out into more ambient, jazz and classical music and have them as separate playlists, because I don't want to be creating an idm anorak or anything. That'd be awful.

Confetti's - '92…Our First Album

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confetti%27s

My father used to play cello when I was a baby and Bach's Cello Suites are something like the first music I can remember (or can't exactly remember but can feel something about)

Hearing a lot of love for Bach in here.

Some nice classical/modern classical pieces:

Jumping off the Debussy recommendation, Tomita's Snowflakes Are Dancing - it's a collection of Debussy works realized on a Moog synth - can't get any better than really.

a baby's brain is probably far more capable of processing the information on drukqs than an adult's

Literally, anything by Donovan...

Thanks, and thanks for all the suggestions folks - I'm liking the Donovan tips actually, even though I always saw him as a bit of a cheesy sod.

Hush is a great album for encouraging children to really love music. I wore that tape out, and the fact that it was my main source of music as child, and not the radio, is definitely a large part of why I am someone who really cares deeply about music & composition.

also for good measure
