CHR1S Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I feel the need for some chill out music! I already have things like Cafe Del Mar and Chicane. I like the Latin/flamenco guitar styles too (Gypsy Kings etc). Classical is on the table too as long as its not to turgid. Done anyone have any recommendations? I would like music to fall asleep to!
Little-Miss Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Ministry of Sound did a Chilled album last year, thats quite good. 1
siuko Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Artist - Album Oren Ambarchi - Grapes from the estate John Hopkins - Contact Note John Hopkins - Opalescent Steve Roach - Dreamtime Return Steve Roach - Mystic Chords And Sacred Spaces Another Fine Day - Life Before Land 1
dayzd Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Some other stuff to look at, might not be up your street but could be worth a look: Craig Armstrong - Piano Works Pretty much anything by Brian Eno Sophie Barker - Earthbound Afterlife Bent Boards of Canada Blue States Delerium Fila Brazillia Four Tet Halou Kinobe Robert Miles (specifically, 23am) Rob Dougan (the second of the two disc edition) Royksopp Zero 7 I'm a massively chill-out man, so could probably dig out more if none of these float your boat! Good luck in your quest for chilled-ness! 1
Haptic Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I listen to loads of different music, but someone recently gave me both Rhythms del Mundo albums. They are a good listen....not sure what type of chill you are looking for but definitely different. Let me know how you get on. Damian Rice's albums are always good as well as some Radiohead - In Rainbows is great. Chillage Village here you come! Chris 1
CESIL Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 My favourite classical chillout is "Essential Mozart"...and on that album particularly his Clarinet Concerto in A 1
DrCheese Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I like the Latin/flamenco guitar styles too Try Jesse cook if you are into that, got his whole discography 1
Guest Guest Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) The Lowland classical/orcestral versions of dance songs ............ The XX Andain YouTube - Andain - Beautiful Things Lustral - one of my favorate songs of all time! BTs stuff. Theres loads of nice melodic stuff, this however is quite high tempo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfG-GSwUhSU Edited February 8, 2011 by Guest
CHR1S Posted February 8, 2011 Author Posted February 8, 2011 Wow, thanks all, wasn't expecting so much! I have recently become more open to new music and instead of sticking the TV on and falling asleep, subconsciously memorising adverts for gold, CDs and god knows what, I thought calming mellow music was the way to go! I will report back on my nocturnal listening habits soon
sonofsanta Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Massive Attack, surely?! Film OSTs were always great chill out music for me... stick Gladiator or LOTR soundtracks on, brilliant background music. Worth a look anyway 1
Gerry Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Chilled Euphoria - I've got the blue and silver ones, this tune is on one of them:YouTube - Energy 52 - Café Del Mar (Michael Woods Ambient Remix) H.U.V.A. Network vibrasphere 1

I will report back on my nocturnal listening habits soon Soulstice - Illusion (2001) might be right up your street if you want to fall asleep to it so long as beats dont bother you One my group of mates used to put on after a hard night of clubbing was Matt Harwicks CD on the Gatecrasher Resident Tranmission CDs. Some of it is up tempo but most is quite soothing.
Little-Miss Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 This is something we've been listening to recently.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YambC_98Vmo Don't know how chilled out you think it is..... 1
6Foot2 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Almost anything by Enya? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfVJ11GXzXQ 1
CHR1S Posted February 8, 2011 Author Posted February 8, 2011 Wow, some real hard to find stuff here.... read into that how you will... got me lots to try out tho!
simpsonj Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Chilled OUt Euphoria - Red Version (Chilled Out Euphoria: Digitally Mixed By Solar Stone: Various Artists: Amazon.co.uk: Music) That, and Pink Floyds Echoes always helped me get to sleep when I suffered from Migraines. Bon Iver and Peter Bradley Adams is pretty chilled out too. 1
ben604 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Spotify? The start of my chilled playlist... Playlist by ben604 - Spotify 1
3s-gtech Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Perhaps Royksopp, selected Hybrid stuff. I always find Second Toughest in the Infants by Underworld is a great chillout album. 1
Haptic Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I'd suggest a bit of Morcheeba- Big Calm (1998 album), nice mellow tracks and some cracking vocals. Mark 1
6Foot2 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 You could also try We7: Link: Free Music, Listen to Music Free That URL will take you to the top 10 'Chill out' tracks on We7. From there you can listen to previews of the tracks. To hear the full tracks you will have to sign up. Sign up is free and you can build your own play lists. When listening for free We7 inserts an ad every so often. There is a paid for version without ad but I haven't bothered with that as I find that the ads are not too intrusive. Also as you listen you build toward an ad-free day. 1
InterwebsGuy Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Hybrid Brian Eno Listen to ChillOut Sundays (or rip the shows) from friskyRadio - FRISKY Radio - Electronic Dance Music Radio > feelin' frisky?
dayzd Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Perhaps Royksopp, selected Hybrid stuff. I always find Second Toughest in the Infants by Underworld is a great chillout album. I concur completely! The orchestral versions of Hybrid stuff are pretty darned good! Have you heard the Widescreen version of Disappear Here yet? It's fantastic.
