    I actually really like How It Ends by DeVotchka from the Gears of War 2 trailer...

    Can anybody recommend more music like this? Anything softer, sweeter, whatever sounding. I've actually been listening to enough rock and metal lately to make me want to rather get away from it.

    The main theme of the Elfen Lied Anime series. Appears at the beginning of each episode, and various times throughout the series, including many different variations.

    Elfen Lied Intro. Contains a slight amount of nudity, but nothing anyone should really be considered with.

    Truly a beautiful piece. I cannot watch the opening of Elfen Lied without coming to tears. The imagery, the music.. A shame it's so under rated.
    I'll post as many variations of the main theme as I can, and if you ask nicely, I could even send you my MP3 files.

    I've actually heard that song before Banned, but hm... kind of gets me thinking instead of just dropping thoughts and just listening to the music. Dunno if it's quite what I'm looking for.

    And some nice selections Hodl. Listened through them.

    Gogo Enya.

    But yeah, Buddha Lounge is great stuff.

    What you might wanna do is go to like di.fm and load up a trance stream if you want to go electro.

    If not, I recommend some of Hot Chip, the Notwist has some great chill songs, there's some stuff from Ladytron or Massive Attack (Don't let the name fool you. Try Angel by MA, it's haunting), and maybe some Regina Spektor.

    That's all i can think of right now.
