We've had the mad/technical stuff. But what is your favourite SLOOOOW song/piece?

We all have out heads turned by the frantic playing of the Wootens, the Sheehans, the Manrings etc but, in an effort to achieve Basschat Balance, I wondered what are people's favourite slow songs. I am not using 'slow songs' in the perjorative 'last dance at the wedding/fundtion' sense. I mean what pieces of music move or excite you without the histrionics or even without a backbeat or a bass.

I'm not sure I really listen to that much music which doesn't have at least a small amount of bass and drums in it. That's the issue. Most of the songs that I do listen to of that sort are usually acoustic performances of "heavier" songs.

Stardust, Hoagy Carmichael. I always end up smooching with my bass during this one. :-)

Lots of nice doom/sludge stuff mentioned in this thread!!


I'll add Om (starts of medium speed then slows down about 10:30 in):
