I have an mri scan this evening for my knee and just remembered that the letter said I can bring a cd of music to play.
It'll take 25 minutes or so and needs to distract me from any claustrophobic thoughts I may have.
It needs to be loud enough to drown out the sounds of the machines, but it can't make me want to dance/ fidget/panic/ die.
any suggestions?
mastodon
blood mountain
or devo, you can pretend you're a robot or something
or kraftwerk!
hmmmmm
mastodon= paranoid thoughts/want to die
kraftwerk= brilliant but unsettling so both fidget and panic.
devo= dance/ fidget

MRI scans
make loud rhythmic knocking noises, which you'll be able to hear even if your earphones are really good, so I'd suggest something relatively ambient and calming which is easy to distinguish from the scanner itself.
(I work in an MRI lab. At least, I do for another 4 weeks.)
^ Makes MRI scans sound like the latest Planet Mu release...
how do i get one?
expert advice!
thanks! however, i'm tempted by the knee theme. plus i'm not good with ambient and calming music, it'll will probably bore me and i'll get fidgety. my brain will know its supposed to relax and do exactly the opposite.
Bah
When I had mine the best they could do was Radio 4.
Radio 4 > music
BBC Radio 4 > 'US post-punk politico-funksters' Radio 4
the nurse didn;t offer me music, everyone else that day was :(
the loud thuds were nice .
sounded like Matmos LP
