[Closed] music to chill out to??

Elgar

It's better without the talky bit at the start...

not any arty farty stuff

elgar

Reading FAIL.

How about some nice friendly folky stuff? Iron and Wine, Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes?

The KLF, Chill Out

been trying to find the klf album on line to download and cant find it!!

William Orbit - Strange Cargo 3

(more like ambient than requested though)

Elgar is not arty farty. Elgar is simply perfect music.

One man's art etc....

Not all those music shite ...

What you need to do is open your window and listen to the howling wind or the silence ... 😀

Air - Moon Safari

Im enjoying some stuff from the likes of Pangaea, Joy Orbison, Four Tet and Martyn.

Some earlier DJ Krush is worth a listen, as is some early DJ Shadow stuff.

Fat Jon is also very good

Cinematic Orchestra - Ma Fleur

liking the william orbit stuff, reminds me of the orb!!

creg is that dj shadow as in unkle???

Gillian Welch - Revelator is very nice - folky stuff with beautiful singing.

Portishead? Massive Attack?

Quite partial to a bit of arty farty Brian Eno myself though.

Aphex Twin & Jesus Jones - Zeros and Ones (Reconstruction Mix 2)

what is portisheads album dummy like??

Philip Glass.

I need say no more.

yes he was part of UNKLE

Chicane

Supperclub mixes

Brian Eno is not arty farty, just a genius.

Renton, if you don't already have it, get Spotify. Perfect for punching in all the different suggestions before wasting money (or just time :roll:) downloading stuff you may not like 🙂

Depth Charge are also worth a listen if you like the Massive Attack/Portishead thing...

Morcheeba

fila brazilia

lemon jelly

Tuung

Liking Angus and Julia Stone at the moment - chilled, alternative, acoustic folky stuff

Zero 7, Royksopp, Cinematic Orchestra, Kid Loco, Lemon Jelly and Any of the "another late night" series are all nice and chilled. Maps from the wilderness by TM duke is pretty good.

Orbital - Insides
Bladerunner soundtrack is pretty damned good at chilling me out at the moment
Royksopp
LTJ Bukem - Progression Sessions

norah jones

perfect...

Any album by AIM

At the risk of being obvious - KLF Chill Out. Genius!
Andy Smith - The Document

ah yes sorry grum ive forgot that i registered on there ages ago!!

cheers anyhow

if you like Editors then, although I don't wish to blow my own trumpet, or indeed even bang my own drums, I will anyway:

http://www.amazingtunes.com/users/thewickeffect - check out "Energy (acoustic version)" - it's a nice mellow number. just piano, voice & acoustic guitar

Then, get any of the American Recordings series by Johnny Cash

Ah, realised I've forgotten my homework 😳

Carefully selected Mogwai. It's all great but some of it is a bit uptempo/noisy for chillout purposes.

On an acoustic tip, the first Turin Brakes album The Optimist, is my relaxing album. Shame they went pretty crap after that but the first is outstanding.

I'd also recommend Kings Of Convenience - Quiet Is The New Loud

here's a playlist from my workshop,
http://sharemyplaylists.com/workshop-playlist/

Jeff Mills - The Bells

King Creosote

anything by [url=

Channel[/url] / [url=

& Sound[/url]

Already mentioned but Zero 7 is very good to relax to.

Also for an individual tune check out Sebastien Tellier - La Ritournelle. Lose yourself in the 7 minute version.

[u][b]M83[/b][/u] ! Can't believe no-one's mentioned them yet (sorry if I missed it).

KLF - Chill Out. Nothing like it. Yes those were the days 🙂

Still liking Orb after all these years, their new stuff is good if a little dated

Richie Hawtin - Decks EFX&909, DE9 Transitions or DE9 Closer to the Edit

Cygnus X - Collected works

especially the DE9 Transitions album, if you have a surround sound setup then the DVD version in 5.1 surround is simply awesome, mong tastic

Some genius music has been mentioned already - Global Communication, Brian Eno - but I'd add John Beltran (Ten Days of Blue) and Susumu Yokota (Sakura) to that list. Both do beautifully sparse techno.

If you're not into that, try John Martyn (Solid Air) or Nick Drake (Five Leaves Left).

[url=

[i]Susumu Yokota (Sakura)[/i]

Oh yeah, second that. For a while, I became addicted to reading Haruki Murakami books whilst listening to Susumu Yokota - and vice versa... Nothing to do with unrequited feelings for an ex-girlfriend in Japan, honest. 😳

Global Communication's [i]76:14[/i] is one of my favourite albums of all time - always reminds me of riding the expansive (they go on forever) chalk downlands on the wilts/dorset border, which is where I heard it first. Stunning album.

Other faves: KLF's [i]Chill Out[/i], Biosphere's [i]Substrata[/i], Brian Eno's [i]Apollo[/i], BoC, old Warp, Helios, The Dead Texan, [b]anything[/b] by the Stars of the Lid, Arve Henriksen's [i]Chiaroscuro[/i] (just gorgeous, if spooky), Cat Power's cover record, anything by Gilian Welch, Miles Davis [i]Sketches of Spain[/i]... aaaah, I'm getting relaxed just thinking about 'em.

Some great recommendations, it's difficult to know what to add ..

Harold Budd - Luxa is quite lovely (his stuff with Eno is probably some of Eno's finest work).
Woob - 1194 has to be one of the all time great ambient albums, tricky to get hold of now.
Gas
Pole
William Basinski
Monolake
Deaf Centre
Foehn
Isan
Tetsu Inoue
Pete Namlook (actually just about anything released on Fax)

Oh and some Eric Satie

Don't suppose you've got the Reload album have you? If not, you really need to check it out.

Found out yesterday one of my colleagues is signed to Rephlex. How bizarre is that!

[i]Don't suppose you've got the Reload album have you?[/i]

The Theory of Evolution? Yup. Love the artwork...
