What's your favorite chill-out album?

[marmar]

It's been an intense day of news and arguing on DU.......

So I've got my fave chill music on right now, Massive Attack's "Protection".

What's yours?

[Bennyboy]

1. I go to www.wwoz.com

calms me right down. Jazz. New Orleans jazz and music.

[MrScorpio]

2. Simple Things

It's probably the most universally loved album that I've seen.

[derby378]

3. Here's a few of my current "chill" albums

The Cancelled Earth by Cities Last Broadcast
If:Then::Iminami by Voodoo Economics
The Dark Places of the Earth by Lustmord

I hope these help you. Yes, two of the above are dark ambient. It works for me.

[applegrove]

4. I've been listening to the soundtrack to the stageshow "Hair" to relax. Love it.

[Iggo]

5. Anything by Pelican.

[HopeHoops]

6. Brian Eno - "Ambient Music for Airports"

The new deluxe edition has the sounds of children being felt up by TSA agents dubbed over the original tracks.





Just kidding.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

11. +1. An amazing album.

I almost thought there was a new deluxe edition until I read the rest of your post. :rofl:

[HopeHoops]

13. I doubt you could really improve on the original - although there were sequels.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

14. I also thought the Apollo album was great.

His new album is supposed to be really good, though I haven't checked it out yet. But every time I go to the airport, I play Music For Airports and try to stand on the "flat escalator" (you know what I'm talking about; I don't remember the name for it) and bliss out.

Did you know his full name is Brian Peter George St. John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno? :rofl:

[bif]

7. Anything by the following...

The Dining Rooms
Ulrich Schnauss
Bullitnuts
System 7
Lamb
And a bunch of other groups I can't think of right now.

[Forkboy]

18. Lamb is always good.

Lou Rhodes' solo stuff is really nice, too. Her voice is amazing to me.

[bif]

22. "Fly" blows me away just about every time I hear it

Love Lou Rhodes.

[cemaphonic]

8. Has to be said - KLF "Chill Out"

Might not quite be my favorite, but it is good, and the name...

"Protection" is up there too, except that stupid snippet of a Doors cover at the end.

[eyepaddle]

9. I think I'd have to say Steve Howe's "Turbulence"

It isn't really all that turbulent--quite calming in fact!

[BlueIris]

10. Lauryn Hill's The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

It's groovy.

[kentauros]

12. Thanks to not knowing all music ever recorded, I just tune in SomaFM

:D

[bif]

15. Soma is great!

I need to hook up my laptop to my stereo again.

[kentauros]

16. I just need to get some decent speakers for my computer.

I love my wireless Sennheiser headphones, but sometimes I'd like to be unencumbered, especially with SomaFM to hear :D

[Forkboy]

17. Pig Destroyer's CD Prowler in the Yard.

Ok, I kid. :)

I got bunches upon bunches, but lately I've been using the CD Flowers From Exile by Rome. Absolutely in love with this.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

19. Bill Nelson's "The Romance of Sustain."

Sort of ambient, sort of in the realm of Robert Fripp's "Frippertronics" soundscapes. Used to be a Be Bop Deluxe fan back in the day and am astounded at how prolific Nelson is in his solo career.

Anyone who likes Fripp and/or the Cocteau Twins' Robin Guthrie would love the hell out of this one.



:toast:

[realisticphish]

20. Dark Side of the Moon

It was my official "Going To An Exam" album, when I was walking to class during undergrad

[tigereye]

21. Kind of Blue - Miles Davis - very relaxing

[sarge43]

24. +1 n/t

[Xicano]

23. No album, but, I'll post a sample playlist of what I enjoy chilling out to.

Hope you don't mind all the links. I love music.

[Gabi Hayes]

around for the frickin barking DOGS.
