Jahfin Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Not a huge fan of it but I've heard some stuff by Tricky and Portishead that I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedcat Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I occasionally listen to lounge/chill/ambient/space or whatever else via Digitally Imported. I couldn't tell you the name of one band or artist but I like that kind of music occasionally. http://www.di.fm/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillumpuffer Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Listen to it more than I do rock music to be honest. There's loads of DJ Mixes in this genre. I very much like the Cafe Del Mar series and Early Buddha Bar. I also like Jon Si Trinxa out of Ibiza and again some early Ibiza chill mixes. In no particular order: Zero 7 Thievery Lemon Grass Fragile State Lemon Jelly Afterlife Urban Myth Club Ohm G DJ's - Chris Coco, Bruno From Ibiza, DJ Nartak, Mixmaster Morris.- There's so many !! Goes great with some good Rioja and a smoke or too on a long hot summers evening. Something, I'm sure all us Northern Europeans can't wait for?

Strider Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hmmm, this topic has the capability to get rather unweildy...one man's chillout is another man's new age and so on. You could even say the Adagietto from Mahler's 5th is chillout. Or Led Zeppelin's "Rain Song". But I hope most people will take the term "chillout" the way I assume you meant: electronica-ambient based music. By the way, I've heard this music referred to as "chill" or "chillout" before...but I don't think I've seen it called "downtempo" until now. Obviously, for the purposes of this thread, Brian Eno would have to be considered one of the first chillout artists...particularly his Ambient Music series of albums. Tangerine Dream is another early influence, as are Kraftwurk, Klaus Schulze and Popol Vuh. The modern version of chillout coincided with the explosion of rave culture in the late-80s. After all that heated dancing on E, people needed something to unwind. Most of the great ones have already been listed above, including the two great chillout classics of all-time: Portishead's "Dummy" and Air's "Moon Safari". Aphex Twin, DJ Shadow, William Orbit, Boards of Canada, Orbital, Sneaker Pimps, Bjork, Goldfrapp, Stereolab, Broadcast, Sigur Rós, and a gazillion djs have also contributed essential chillout albums and songs, along with the aforementioned Massive Attack, Zero 7, Orb, Moby and others. But here are three somewhat lesser known favourite chillout songs of mine by two guys you absolutely must hear if you are into electronica/chillout-type music...Bertrand Burgalat and Nathan Fake. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBBCm3pCA_M&feature=youtube_gdata_player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepscoda Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 I dig the Bertrand Burgalat tune, Ive never heard of him before, I'll have to check his stuff out. Check this Thievery vid out from the 9:30 club in D.C., there is a great documentary on this band that features this show: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 The Bertrand Burgalat cd is "The Sssound of Mmmusic". Nathan Fake's is "Drowning in a Sea of Love". A great video tribute to film noir a fan made set to one of my favourite Massive Attack songs, "Angel": Not a lot of people remember the Sneaker Pimps: Aphex Twin bestrides the electronica genre like a colossus. What Led Zeppelin is to rock, Aphex Twin is to electronica. Come back Richard David James...we miss you! This is a stone cold chillout masterpiece.

It is a bit one dimensional , with a trip hop ragee vibe through out. As Saduee was with it's Bosanova style from start to finish. While I really like these last 2 albums. The last GREAT Thievery album was Culture of Fear, in my opinion anyway...lol But I will be listening to this one often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
