also if you find voices send you to sleep try Alvin Lucier's "I am Sitting in a Room", features the composer recording a phrase, then playing back the recorded phrase and re-recording. end result is not only fascinating but quite musical.

i recommend minimalism. Reich, Messiaen, La Monte Young (check out the well tuned piano for one of the most amazing classical pieces of music ever, make sure the first time you listen to it is in one sitting), Terry Riley, Harold Budd, Wim Mertins, early Phillip Glass (probably best to avoid most of his operas though).
musique concrete is very interesting too, although some can be a little scary for listening to whilst sleeping. Check out Vladimir Ussachevsky, Micheal Chion, Francis Dhomont and Pierre Schaeffer.

Good stuff, will see you about! I've realised i'm on 86 gi, which i find painfull on the larger hills but not silly. But i'm debating dropping lower as it sounds like I should be spinning faster...
I'm running 73" brakeless for now, seems pretty good, have to be pretty restrained downhill but i haven't had an opportunity as of yet to spin down anything anyway.

Thought i'd revive this thread, Uni term started today... peace is shattered ;-) and i've already seen a green langster. So any Notts people lurking out there. We'll add my new Carlton 80's track frame to the tally.
i'm now at university, riding a turquoise graham weigh with silver deep v's, saw another fixed outside the built environment center earlier; white frame, bullhorns?

forks: Reynolds ouzo pro full carbon 40mm rake
Dura-ace brakes, Miche cranks, carbon seatpost.
Hubs: goldtec rear, dura-ace front
frame and forks alone cost 700 quid - currently 310 for an immaculate bike.

OH MAN i'm from notts and when i go to visit me mam i always take me fixie and yes those hills are a pain the the arse but i was thinking about asking if there was any riders up there because there bloody should be fixie riders everywhere....
what bike you riding bozo??it was a pompino, but now have hold of a greeny-blue (probably turquoise) Graham Weigh track frame. which is in the process of being built up.
I've been running one of these for the last 4 months, no rust despite my almost complete lack of maintance, noisy though.
edit: actually it was more expensive, and 1/8 too, probably this http://www.dotbike.com/ProductsP3053.aspx?Track=FGL
