I used to like to listen to Tangerine Dream at night in the lab (Stratosfear, Canyon Dreams, Tangram ... stay away from the TJ Hooker them music or whatever the fuck that was) -- the patterns are good for genome mapping.

Re: Relaxing music?
most anything by World's End Girlfriend, but you could start with the Air Doll soundtrack.
the Jazz & Milk Breaks collections
Aus's album "Curveland"
Download the EVE Online OST if you like ultra spacey ambient music.
Hammock's album "Kenotic" is fantastic. Also amazingly good as a sleep aid.
YMCK if Japanese 8-bit jazz is your thing.

Re: Relaxing music?
The Boris album "Flood". The "waves cresting above the city" five minutes into Part III may or may not be relaxing to you, but I can fall asleep to it
