The Chillout Thread
 

Maybe certain tracks will crossover but what tracks truly chill you out? Just post them with or without official videos (my first choice was never a single).

Critique is not even important here. Just a track or two that takes you away from this godforsaken world of ours.

First entry. Jose Padilla-"Blues For Ibiza" from the album 'Souvenir '. Sublime Balearic chill with some great original guitar work:

The whole of the Bladerunner soundtrack by Vangelis.

'Wait For Me' is beautiful. Good call sir.

Moved to 'General'. Music should soothe as well as ignite.

Once I put the album on I always end up leaving it all on.

Perfect to listen to in bed and drift off to.

Not really that keen on the movie but the score is brilliant.

The movie has been a favourite of mine for years TBH. Have you ever heard Tangerine Dream?



This track is from the 'Risky Business' ST starring Tom Cruise way back. It is actually an extension on a theme from the film 'Thief' which is an early Michael Mann film (Heat, Manhunter, Ali etc).

anything by the avett brothers is great


"Paranoia In B Flat Major"
>

Expect this bugger to go on for a while yet.

Solaris (remake). Cliff Martinez S/T. Amazing.

Sorry but I did'nt like this at all :(

From The Truman Show (very underrated score)

This is Truman Sleeps by the great Philip Glass

really? do you not like the genre too much or just the song?

Glass's soundtracks for the 'Qatsi' trilogy are subliminal. That had some nice touches too.

Aye. Pruit Igoe is my favourite by Glass. Was a bit gutted it is now on the GTA 4 soundtrack, though at least younger people will hear it.....yeah right, like they will have The Journey on their radio.

A little bit of both. It did'nt really chill me out.

ehh they have more laid-back songs...but they dont have youtube videos "salina" is probably their most chill

Get into Reggae now ;)

BTW.This is here for peoples benefit and not my own gratification.

Pram—Track of the Cat
All I could find is this live version, but it's pretty close to the version I know and love.

I like that. I have not heard that before. Has a 60's soundtrack vibe.

Pram are a great band, especially on the album that track is from.

Alot of songs do it for me, here's a couple.
St Vincent - Landmines

The Concretes - Contamination

Love the horn work in the second one. Both cool tracks.

Yea, I don't think I've ever heard a song by The Concretes that I didn't enjoy.

as one of the people

i have benefitted from ALL of your posts ive read

and regardless of whether it gives you any personal gratification :rofl:

i thank i you for your time and effort

I should have known The Concretes. I have their self titled release from 2003, and I still want that St. Vincent release ;)

****, I keep forgetting about that one. I've got a faulty connection atm, but hopefully it'll get fixed soon ;)

wow

that is incredible!

im so boring

mine are enya - light & airy - 'Tea House Moon'



and enya - mysterious & deep - 'Boadicea'

^^^

I have fixed your youtube vids. You need to remove this part: www.youtube.com= and just include the code (letters and numbers) within the youtube tags.

Probably the most un-Roses like track the Stone Roses released during their heyday, and it's one of the most relaxing, magical, beautiful, "chillout" songs I've heard.

Ok. don't care for it much, I guess it's ok for other people. So I won't comment more.

I find that famous song from the soundtrack to the mission really relaxing...

other than that norah jones...

and a band called the waiting room... look 'em up

Just something a bit different, that's chillout, yet very creepy -

Bohren & der Club of Gore. Funeral/Doomy Jazz.(WARNING: Shouldn't be in a very attentive mood while listening to this...Midnight/Loneliness recommended)
Well, guess what? Zombies are rising from the graves and there's literally no life on earth. Yet, the air around is very calm and quiet.
Would suit an horror movie where there's no voice involved.(where pictures do all the talking)

YouTube - bohren & der club of gore - constant fear
YouTube - Bohren & der Club of Gore - Midnight Black Earth
YouTube - Bohren & der Club of Gore - Prowler
YouTube - Bohren & der Club of Gore - On Demon Wings (The Big Sleep)
YouTube - Bohren & der Club of Gore-Crimson Ways

PS: Nice thread...loving all the stuff so far :D

Kruder & Dorfmeister's remix of Lamb's Transfatty Acid (check out that change of pace around 4:20) both the Original track and the remix album from K & D are stellar:



Absolutely awesome. I want it :D

damn demonoid

thats some mysterious and deep music

:rofl: every time i visit this thread
my next stop is my bed
for a nap

oh, yeah

chillin' like a villian

I just got me some Dodren now. That's for late night chillin' but with an edge. Nice recco Demonoid.

Well, you should really get Black Earth or Sunset Mission...Their most consistent material imo. Haven't given any of their earlier stuff a listen yet though.

The Kruder and Dorfmister qft.
I love all of their stuff
Tosca Suzuki is great album as well

Well, checking out more of Kruder and Dorfmister, they really are great. Good stuff!

Anyways, I'd like to add Global Communication as well.
76 14 is just an awesome album. Just a sneak peak :p:
14 31
The song is 14 minutes 31 seconds long(duh) but parts of it have been cut off due to the 10 minute youtube restriction. The rest of the album is equally good, if not better.

Edit: Just another i managed to find.
5 23
I don't know whether it was used there or not, but anyways, the music is there :D
