Two examples that come to me immediately are Enya and Smashing Pumpkins. If music starts feeling stale, I can put on Enya and music feels new again. It’s such a pleasant departure from the standard pop/rock/RnB etc sounds that dominate (even if I like those artists).
Anybody have their own equivalents?


I doubt myself and psychedelics would mix very well, but I’ll definitely check out 10,000 Days or Lateralus and see if they hold up when I’m on liquorice tea and Tony’s Chocolonely :)
