Chillout Music

[Meatplow]

So in between Darkthrone and Slayer i don't have much music that's good to chill out to...

I've been listening to Air - Moon Safari a lot and enjoy it. I've tried some Schpongle as well, and the Boards of Canada album Music Has The Right To Children.

That's my chillout collection, help a brother out. :cool:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Zero 7's first album sounds almost exactly like Air, so you'd probably enjoy that. Get some more Air, too. Talkie Walkie is just as good as Moon Safari.

Also try:

Thievery Corporation - The Richest Man In Babylon
Röyksopp - Melody A.M.
Sia - Colour The Small One
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works '85 - '92
Portishead - Dummy

[AlienEater]

i generally listen to electronica when i wanna chill

aphex twin's two ambient albums are the most obvious starting point

[Apocalyptic Raids]

some post-rock would probably be good for chilling too.

[AlienEater]

i listen to can a fair amount when i want to chillax a little

maybe some later yo la tengo

[Apocalyptic Raids]

yeah Yo La Tengo would work really well. Tortoise and Dirty Three would also be quite suitable.

[halfdeadhippo]

My chillout musics are usually:

Massive Attack - Mezzanine
Fripp & Eno - No Pussyfooting, Evening Star
Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsun, Seadrum/House of Sun
Boris - Soundtrack from the film "Mabuta No Ura", Flood
Aphex Twin - I Care Because You Do (Just be sure to skip track five if you're trying to relax), Richard D. James Album, Ambient Works Volume 2
OM - Conference of the Birds, Variations on a Theme

That's just what I can think of off the top of my head. Some of it might not be what you'd think of for chilling out, but those are just the albums that I'll put on while trying to zone out and/or fall asleep.

[CarnageFairy]

Get more Boards of Canada. Geogaddi or The Campfire Headphase.

Four Tet, Dntel, The Books.

RJD2 can go both ways. In Rare Form or Dead Ringer are good places to start.

[Zebra]

Philip Glass
Steve Roach
Stars of the Lid
Tangerine Dream
Kraftwerk
Mike Oldfield

[tom79]

DJ Shadow is my favorite for chilling out

[badtaste]

I'm surprised to see Aphex Twin recommended... I find most of the tracks to be frenetic, with it's drill and bass thing. Otherwise, the tracks are so busy with different layers to the point where it's too complex to chill to.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

the Selected Ambient Works albums are much different.

[badtaste]

the Selected Ambient Works albums are much different.

Not sure about the second (never listened to it before), but I had the first one in mind. I do think 'Richard D. James' is pretty chill-able.

[Yuzz]

---ELECTRONIC---
Dictaphone - best electronic ambient-jazz chillout duo ever
Belong - the most emotional textural musical experiance
Biosphere - awesome Norwegian ambient
Mathias Grassow - god-like German ambient

---REGGAE---
[IT'S ALL GOOD - IT'S ALL CHILL]
-These are my favs-
Niney the Observer
Augustus Pablo
Burning Spear
King Tubby
Manu Chao
Lee "Scratch" Perry

vol. 2 is max-chillable

[We_Love_Lime]

Caural - Mirrors for Eyes
Amon Tobin - Everything he puts out
Dj Shadow - Entroducing.

[badtaste]

vol. 2 is max-chillable

Okay, I'll look into it then.

[Yuzz]

Amon Tobin - Everything he puts out
.

Some of his stuff is very unchill, RAD but unchill

[Bukowski]

bands/artists I chill to

Autechre, Tortoise, Isotope 217, Azusa Plane, Tangerine Dream, Mouse on Mars, Portishead, Gastr Del Sol, Massive Attack, Stars of the Lid, Eluvium, Dirty Three, Labradford, Cul De Sac, Stereolab, Low, Talk Talk, Windy & Carl, Bark Psychosis, Thisquietarmy, Ui, Universal Congress Of

dude check out ALL of those.

[Benzum]

E.S.T - Seven Days of Falling

[Angmar]

Anything by Jesu, I love just relaxing to Jesu, especially the Silver EP. And if your into folk/neo-folk I suggest you try out Nest's Trail of the Unwary.

[We_Love_Lime]

You think?
I find him to be VERY chill.
Obviously that's just me though.

[Yuzz]

no your right, he is pretty chilled out - I hear chill and I just assume ambient...

[big80smullet]

Rhombus is pretty chilled although their first album is probably the better. Any Salmonella dub is massively chillable. Both those bands are dub/electronica bands and are awesome.

[We_Love_Lime]

no your right, he is pretty chilled out - I hear chill and I just assume ambient...

Oh gotcha.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

UNKLE
Tycho
Ulrich Schnauss
Sound Tribe Sector 9

[montanita]

For me DJ Shadow is amazing chillout music. A Silver Mt. Zion is good post-rock stuff that i find decent.

[gaslight]

Lately I chill out to The Roots and Jose Gonzalez.

[We_Love_Lime]

I'll have to check out Aphex Twin again..
I hated him the last time I listed to him.
