I want a sleep playlist, and I really love Planet Caravan by Black Sabbath. Something about the drifty overall soundscape really appeal to me. What other songs are there that are very similar? Looking for about 30 or so if possible [I tend to sleep in 3 hour chunks normally, but the getting to sleep is the problem =)] ---

I love this one! _The Rain Song_ - Led Zeppelin [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/TRt4hQs3nH0/maxresdefault.jpg "The Rain Song (Remaster)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRt4hQs3nH0) _No Quarter_ - Led Zeppelin [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/wdqDmJbm2eY/maxresdefault.jpg "No Quarter (Remaster)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdqDmJbm2eY) ---

Both good suggestions. I just like the really trippy floaty effect of Planet Caravan =) ---

I was not familiar with Planet Caravan, so I tracked it down on YouTube. The vocal effects (but not much else about it) kind of reminded me of this: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/Pp4X5_h0qys/maxresdefault.jpg "Spirit Of The Water") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pp4X5_h0qys) And if you like that, and you like spacey/trippy, you might like another cut from the same album.

They are both nice, but a bit upbeat for sleeping music, will actually add them to my gaming playlist though. Good suggestions =) ---

I like this, though it is the music not the voice/singing I really want to be mellow and trippy. Never heard anything by Toussaint before. ---

I have everything by Pink Floyd already, but the other 2 are new to me and perfect =) thanks =) ---

This may also be a little too upbeat for you, but maybe some Jean-Luc Ponty? [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/G5xYl1wXxUE/maxresdefault.jpg "Mystical Adventures (Suite) , Pt. 1") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5xYl1wXxUE) ---

Don’t know if this one fits the bill, but I’ve always loved this trippy song. _2,000 Light Years From Home_ - The Stones [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/nRc0yaMW7Mw/maxresdefault.jpg "The Rolling Stones - 2000 Light Years From Home (Official Lyric Video)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRc0yaMW7Mw)
