Simply Chill Out - Various Artists

Chilled Beats Sessions 2CD

Advantages: Everything; up there with the best of them
Disadvantages: You have to change disc!

I bought this in 2006 for £5. This is one seriously chilled album, featuring many unheard of artists. It has 30 tracks in total. The design is simple, the packaging minimal. There is over 2 hours of tunes on here. I would compare this to Red Jerry's "Deep and Chilled Euphoria" from 2001. The tracks on here are more recent, one of them "Kota" by Bonobo being featured on an O2 advert some years ago. It has happy parts, sad parts and parts that allow you to reflect. "Shake It Loose" by Dolphin Boy takes your mind to another dimension. "Only Hush" by Nostalgia 77 sounds very underground and shady. But "Kota" must be one the top tracks, simple and non-mainstream. All in all a fabulous album! ...

Review of Chilled Beats Sessions (Over 2 Hours Of Chilled Out Beats) - Various Artists

Chill Out And Think.

Advantages: Please see Op
Disadvantages: Please see Op

For me good Chill Out music is the kind that sometimes makes your hair stand on end at the back of your neck. The tracks are very individual one persons list can be totaly different both in tempo and genre to another person. I like to think I have a wide and varied taste in music. I was one of those people who bought Rhinestone Cowboy by Rikki and Daz. Seventies and eighties disco are also among my favourites. Chill out or Relaxation music though is very different. For starters it is very important to me as I need to relax at least once a day, the kind of music I listen to relates to how well I can relax. So here it is, my top ten, may not be everyones cup of tea but it works for me. ~~~ 1. Yeha Noha - Sacred spirit. This has to be my favourite, it is Native American in origin although it has been ...

Review of Top Ten Chill-out Songs

Chill out!

Advantages: Relaxing.
Disadvantages: None

theme Ennio Morricone~Theme from the mission Brian Eno~Another Green World ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ A few years later I got my first place. The lounge was large and each afternoon the sun would pour in. By now I had a different job, and when on a morning shift I finished at 2pm. I would often go for a quick swim before returning back home, but then all I wanted to do was unwind. So out would come the CD and I'd stretch out on the sofa. Many a time I would fall asleep, and be fresh and bright for the evening. Time went on and soon I married, not before long I discoverd I was pregnant, and with twins. Things weren't going well and I needed lots of bed rest and relaxation. Out came the CD again. For 9 months I listened to it virtually non stop. Never tiring of the melodic sounds. Then out ...
