Favourite Chill Out Tracks & Albums - lets get 'em down! (techno, electronic)

fawcett · 05-22-2007, 09:06 AM

Hey guys,

I've been downloading some ministry of sound stuff recently and am loving this chillout type of music more and more!

Aside from these compliations though I'm a newbie to the whole chillout phenomenon and would love everyone's suggestions on what tracks or albums to download!

My fav so far is Avalon by Juliet

JOSE PADILLA-SOUVENIR (Balearic Chill/Spanish/Electronic)
UNDERWORLD-DUBNOBASSWITHMYHEADMAN (Ambient Techno)
WILLIAM ORBIT-STRANGE CARGO albums (Ambient Electronic)
EVERYTHING BUT THE GIRL-WALKING WOUNDED/TEMPARAMENTAL (Ambient breakbeat/DnB)
CAFE DEL MAR-huge series of chillout compilations-try any as good starters
TANGERINE DREAM-POLAND/UNDERWATER SUNLIGHT etc (Electronic/Rock)
KRUDER and DORFMEISTER-THE K & D SESSIONS (Jazz/Hip/Hop/Indie Remix's)
AFTERLIFE-SIMPLICITY TWO THOUSAND (Balearic Chill)
THIEVERY CORPORATION-THE RICHEST MAN IN BABYLON (Bossa Nova tinged)
PAN AMERICAN-360 BUSINESS 360 BYPASS (Post Rock)
CLANNAD- BANBA (gaelic folk)

MAD PROFESSOR PRESENTS..any of this series (dub)
NIGHTMARES ON WAX-CARBOOT SOUL (jazz)

That's just a small collection and some of the genre descriptions are open to debate, but for Electronic chillout the place to start is the aforementioned CAFE DEL MAR series of mix's-that's where I started a few years back!
