Relaxing Music?

[Feared.Desire]

I was wondering if anybody could point me in the direction of similar songs to the ones below. The second one is good, but I specifically like the violin in it. Unfortunately, I'm having no luck randomly scanning the web for relaxing violin music and whatnot. So, if anybody knows of any bands or something to that regard that plays similar music, could you please let me know?

(The first one is from a video game. . . But, good music is good music, no matter its origin.)

Some other good bands that use strings are apocalyptica

this is so beautiful and dramatic, a bit depressing, but very great <3 just like the movie, a masterpiece in my opinion...

Try searching amazon.com mp3 downloads for violin music. I have some relaxing music with the guitar, hymns, and nature sounds combined. And i have an mp3 if you like to listen to 60 minutes of thunderstorm. The soundtrack from the videogame flowers is ok too. Laureena mckennit might have some good tracks with violin in it. Search for her name on youtube.

Thanks for the responses

lost world, I enjoyed the beginning of the song Got a bit loud for me after, but I enjoyed it. And the Pan's Labyrinth song was good too. Reminded me of my mother who to this day harasses me to watch that movie :P

Delusive-Sunshine, I liked her as well. If only she had some violin it would be perfect! But, that's me being picky. Even without it I still like it.

bhawk, I do enjoy blue October, and I can't believe Beethoven never struck me! Pure genius.

lachrymose27, and I think I will do just that. Thanks. I do so enjoy Laureena mckennit

Well, here's a couple I grew up relaxing to:

Enya - Book of Days

Albinoni - Adagio

And, as long as we're including video game music, here are a few of my personal favorites:

Terranigma - Crysta

Final Fantasy VII - Cosmo Canyon

Chrono Trigger - At the Bottom of the Night

But my all time favorite relaxing video game music has to be this arrangement of Leopardman Village from Quest for Glory III.

Thanks Duka. The second link you posted was awesome. And my father listens to Enya, or at least he used to. Thus, potential easy access to C.D's
