I'm with the metalheads, a bit of loud music relaxes me. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Javanese Gamelan orchestra music is relaxing (not Balinese, it's quite disruptive to sleep patterns.) Japanese instrumental folk music can also be relaxing, as can ancient Japanese meditation hymns. Yes, I listen to all of that.
An interesting thing to look at, maybe it's not technically music, is a cassette called "Astral Sounds." It's a collection of synthesized sounds designed to stimulate the pleasure center of the brain, and can be used for meditation and relaxation. It's used in some hospitals as an alternative to painkillers and as a sleep aid.
