Rodrigo Y Gabriella - Re-Foc .Tis about as chilled out as I get... Alot of DJ Shadows stuff is chilled out too.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

or some grateful dead.. can't go wrong with the grateful dead

Karl Hungus

Some of the more chilled Opeth songs like Patterns In The Ivy, Face Of Melinda, Harvest, or To Bid You Farewell.
Or the album Damnation.

Zaph

Don't know if it's still available as it's a few years old now, but Morning White Dove by One Dove is my all-time favourite chillout album. Worth getting your hands on if you can.

Some Opeth stuff is just amazing to listen to when chilling out in a dark room. I love Harvest.

gnu

Anything by Air or Lemon Jelly

Pet

You could try some Sarah McLachlan..

Alana

Right heres the girly coming out in me,you could try some shea seger, i think the albums called may st...or even chris cornells(as in sound garden/audioslave) eurphoria morning, or even pearl jams binuarl, or even parts of mark lanagan bands bubblegum-then again im just a sucker for that kind of voice...or if you like your rock you could always try an acoustic album-not one of those compliations-ie acoustic 1,2,3,etc-rubbish, but some think like an unplugged album like nirvana's live in New YOrk or even Eric Clapton-don't diss the old man, he f**king rocks the Casban.

Bungalow Bill

I urge you to check out Elliot Smith as chillout music. Or if you want something chill-outy with a bit of funk an Hawaiian guy called Jack Johnson is fantastic

Paulmee

Air-Moon Safari
Zero 7-Simple things

Its Jack Johnson and he is Hawaiin but Bungalow Bill is right it is very good music for chilling out to.

[nicK]

anything by zero7 or spiritulized

verdidnt

DJ Shadow - Endroducing (classic!)
Four tet - pause
Boards of canada - Geogaddi

If you are going the ambient route try some Brian Eno stuff from the 70's

demanufactured

Far Beyond Driven always chills me out after a long hard day on the killing fields

Paulmee

DJ Shadow - Private Press, Entroducing, Pre-emptive strike
Fatboy Slim-Better living through Chemistry

Prior Of Taize

Maybe YANQUI U.X.O. by Godspeed You! Black Emperor is what your looking for.
ignore the name. 70 minutes long with 5 tracks. Its basically an entire orchestra playing some awesome stuff. hard to get into though.

This is far from chillout, Godspeed leave you on edge! Great album but not chillout IMO.

Windsor For The Derby, Sigur Rós and the Flaming Lips are my preferred chillout choices.

I recommend any bands Steven Wilson is involved with (Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Blackfield, No-man, Bass Communion)... all great stuff.

Okie

I'm in the middle of making a CD for myself along these lines aswell.

So far I've got:-

The Frames - In The Deep Shade
Fleetwood Mac - Albatross
Air - All I Need
Brian Eno - Deep Blue Day
The Beatles - Norwegian Wood
Primal Scream - Trainspotting
Sneaker Pimps - 6 Underground
UNKLE (feat Ian Brown) - Be There
Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings (From Platoon, I think?)
The Doors - The End
Some Pink Floyd will probably fall in there aswell.

Yeah, Porcupine Tree are fantastic, I was listening to them today odly enough. Lightbulb Sun is a great album. Haven't really heard any of the other bands though, must look into it.

nesthead

Funny enough im listening to Harvest right now.... ahh.... so chilled out

Anathema - "A Natural Disaster" and "Resonance Pt.2"(think thats the light one, might be Pt.1)

Matthewthebig

Damnation by Opeth is brilliant its all the accoustic stuff. I loves it. also i find the A Perfect Circle albums quite relaxing

randombassist

John martyn: solid air is brilliant, check it out!

Panda

Ahh the chillout cd, usually a personal taste.

Havnt heard the whole of Air - Talkie Walkie, but their other one 10000Hz legend is a ready made chillout cd.

Also a guy called Jack Johnson is very chilled out. You may have heard a song called Bubble Toes.

nadir

i listen to jpop these days when I want to chill out.
Utada Hikaru,
zone,
yellow generation,
Nana Kitade,
Maaya Sakamoto,
and loads of stuff like that

I agree however i think the likes of zero 7 and air however good they are, and i do think that they are quite enjoyable...are just a little over played..try massive attack's mezzaine...and definitely check out Dj shadow-one word-legend

mwoah

the album leaf
sigur rós
mogwai

the_obsolete

Alanis Morissette stuffs is quite chilling, also By The Way by The Chili Peppers is quite good for relaxin to...

dellytots

Anyone mention Massive attack yet? Mezzanine deadly album to chill to!!!

Also Bob Dylan,some Cure songs, The Frames, Primal Scream, The Smiths, Grateful dead. Radiohead(my fave is The Bends), Some Smashing Pumpkins songs, Silverchair, Lamb(bit depressing tho)! I'm sure im forgettin loads!

And it great to chill out to Dark Side Of The Moon or Echoes- Pink Floyd after a stressfull day!
