@simonmoon Wow, I have not heard Terje Rypdal's name mentioned for almost 40 years! "Dead Man's Tale" might be a cryo contender.
What are some of your favorite "COLD" songs?
I recently found a cryotherapy facility that has the option of listening to music during the 3 minute session; plus, it's the middle of winter so the subject seems timely.
For those of you not familiar with cryotherapy, picture yourself standing in a phone booth and wearing only your boxers, gloves, socks and a knit hat; and, most importantly, the temperature is 175 degrees BELOW zero. Trust me, having good music to listen to is a very needed a welcome distraction!
So far, my song choices have been:
Crack The Sky - "Ice"
John Hiatt - "Icy Blue Heart
Pousette - Dart Band - "Woman in My Dreams"
Joni Mitchell - "Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire"
Stephen Stills - "Cold, Cold World"
I'm currently stuck on these five and I could use a few suggestions. Thanks in advance, Mitch.

@bluorion Thanks for the Annie Lennox suggestion, that certainly will be a cryo contender. I considered "Under Ice" by Kate Bush; but, I found it to be a little too subdued musically. Plus, at only 2:21, it is too short for a 3 minute cryo session. |
@czarivey - totally agree with you about the heat!! I live in San Francisco, where it doesn't get above that very often, especially in the summer months, where you're more likely to freeze than get too hot. |
I was once REALLY overwhelmed by heat-waive few years back and was actually dreaming about frigid COLD winter. To fulfill somehow my dream about cold frigid winter in the middle of the summer heat wave, I decided to turn on TV and find an extremely COLD movie and that was Wind River! To reiterate myself, I HATE temperatures above 70F (or 21-celcius) and I'd rather stay below freezing point even far vs. heat over 90F. |
Google "figure skating music" for more ideas.
I have a set of "officially licensed" ice skating music LP's around here somewhere, but only recall "Swan Lake" out of the pieces.
I played them years ago during a Los Angeles heat wave (there was no A/C in our apartment) and started to get chills and goosebumps (not kidding).
Guess they took me back (mentally) to my adolescent ice rink/frozen pond skating days.
