Chill out music?

[Hibbyradge]

Having had a brilliant, but hectic, few days inisbon, Mrs R and I are currently sitting on a balcony in Cascais. We're watching the sky with large drinks in our hands, contemplating whatever while listening to the latest Florence and the Machine record, High as hope.

It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it fits the bill as chill out music. I have some other songs in store, but we're here for another week and more tunes will be required, so I thought I'd seek the wisdom of the Holy Ground.

What do you listen to when you just want to get lost in relaxation?

[Hiber-nation]

twelvefour by the Paper Kites is gorgeous, they are an Aussie band, not my usual sort of thing but very chilled.

Thanks for the suggestion.

If it's on Spotify, it's up next. 👍

Can’t go wrong with Paul Weller’s Stanley Road IMO 👍

Yep, exactly what was required. A silent cause is lovely.

My wife loves it. Thanks again.

Thanks.

I'll give it a listen tomorrow.

The Boy With The Arab Strap (Belle and Sebastian)is great for relaxing to. Also, Moon Safari by Air, and for something a wee bit different try The Leftovers soundtrack by Max Richter.

Leftism by Leftfield, and Ambient by Moby also do the trick.

[wpj]

The Orb or any of the first few Cafe del Maar comps, timeless. John Hopkins is also worth a shout. Aphex Twin ambient 1 or some Moby ((lots free on his website) all good

[Bristolhibby]

It’s an old one but Moon Safari by Air is superb.

****, as I typed this I have realised it’s 20 years old! My God!

Just seen Moon safari in this post. Good call and you beat me to it.

My go to’s are Bon Iver - For Emma Forever Ago and their self titled album, Bon Iver.

Primal Scream - Screamadelica and Nightmares on Wax - Smokers Delight and Carboot Soul also. Check Bonobo too.

Glad to be of help :aok:

[Lendo]

You can't beat some Sigur Ros to listen to when you are wanting to relax.

Also just found an artist on Spotify called Sarcastic Sounds. Well worth a listen if you get a chance.

YES YES YES. Bonobo are definitely a good shout too.

Miles Davis - Blue Miles

You're not getting any younger.

[beensaidbefore]

Ritchie Hawtin - closer to the edit. Nice n chilled minimal techno.

I love Boards of Canada, and Public Service Broadcasting. However, as this is the Holy Ground, I suspect that is too straightforward, Snr. R.

As you are in Portugal, I would seek out some Fado music. It doesn't really relax you, but certainly makes you happy life is not as bad as it could be.

I am also a great believer in Binaural music, which is supposed to reset brain patterns. There might be something in it, there might not, but worth googling anyway.

Miles Davis - Blue Miles

Miles Davis is a good shout and suited to Iberian climes.

Would also cite ‘Kind of Blue’ and ‘In a Silent Way’. My own favourite, though not everyone’s taste is ‘Someday My Prince Will Come’.

If we’re going down the Jazz route (“nice”) would also throw in some favourites of mine:

Ivan Boogaloo Joe - Right On Brother
Herbie Hancock - Fat Albert Rotunda
Charles Kynard - Charles Kynard

[Pretty Boy]

Any of the 3 albums Lemon Jelly released.

[Betty Boop]

Anything from Above & Beyond.

[heretoday]

‘Someday My Prince Will Come’.[/QUOTE]

The Darkroom Lament.....

[Hibby70]

teenage fan club is my chill out of choice

[Hiber-nation]

Anything from Above & Beyond.

Good shout, bit of Gabriel & Dresden is nice as well.

Never thought I’d see Hawtin mentioned on here. Yas

Next up ...

(I'm doing these in order 😁}

[Hibbyradge]

I've started with Moon Safari tonight.

So far so good. 👍

Was Stanley Road what you were after? It’s my go to album, but chill out music is subjective, so maybe not for everyone.

No, not quite, but it's a cracking album.

We fell asleep to it so you can count that as a success.

On the balcony and I'm playing it again now.

Remember Remember - The Quickening.

Sixto Rodriguez - Cold Fact.

Made famous by the documentary about him called Searching for Sugar Man.

[Jim44]

Box Scaggs - Sierra. Beautiful.

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Buena Vista Social Club for holiday balcony chilling

[matty_f]

How's the listening going, Dave? Highlights so far?

[JimboHibs]

Some cracking albums artists mentioned.

Klf-Chillout is fantastic

[PeeJay]

What do you listen to when you just want to get lost in relaxation?

Beck made a decent LP called "Morning Phase" - worth a go maybe ...

[Chorley Hibee]

Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No 2.

[ac1]

Love a bit of jazz. Jim Hall, Chet Baker, Paul Desmond and others - Concierto De Aranjuez. It’s 20 minutes long and based on a piece by a Spanish composer Joaquin Rodrigo but it blows me away every time I listen to it.

Miles Davis also does a version on his album ‘Sketches of Spain’ which is a great listen as well.

[Dalianwanda]

Moby - Long Ambients
Emeralds - Does It Look Like Im Here?
Bing & Ruth - Tomorrow Was The Golden Age
Alice Coltrane - World Sprituality Classics
２８１４ - 新しい日の誕生/Birth of a New Day (had to copy & paste this one - its great though)

[Mantis Toboggan]

Biosphere- Substrata is great music to get lost in. As are most of his records.

[Northernhibee]

Bjork - Homogenic

[Hibbyradge]

It's all good, Matty.

No highlights as such because I'm only listening to them once and for ambience rather than study.

Arab straps currently chilling us both, possibly to sleep 😁

[overdrive]

It is 15 years old now but give The Postal Service's "Give Up" album a go. It is still my "go-to" chill out album.

Ah, great choice. Wish Ben Gibbard was making stuff like that nowadays instead of the insipid last 2 Death Cab for Cutie albums.

[cammy1969]

All is dream or deserters songs or if you prefere instrumental deserters songs( instrumental) by Mercury Rev not everyone’s cup tea but nice laid back

Would echo this. ‘Sketches of Spain’ by Davis or Rodrigo’s ‘’Concierto de Aranjuez’ are essentially the same music but both are quintessential Andalucian in tone and perfect for a hot evening in Caiscais or anywhere on the Iberian peninsula.

I also like 'Summer Night' that is on the Quiet Nights album by Miles Davis as well - has the same kind of feel. Like you are sitting somewhere on the Mediterranean when you are listening to it

Chill out Jazz 🎺 🎹
A must any Sunday 😊

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Caught this chap in a 2000 year old Amphitheater as part of Dimensions Festival in Pula, Croatia the other week. Was pretty special :agree:

He's playing The Usher Hall next February too.

Morcheeba - Big Calm

Indeed, brilliant album from start to finish.

Been listening to a bit of Mac Demarco of late, some cool stuff, very chill for the most part.

[JimboHibs]

The Sound Of The Cosmos - Tom Middleton Cd3 especially one of the finest chill/downtempo mixes I've listened too.

Voyage into Paradise - Dr Alex Patterson ...another that is well worth the listen.

[Stonewall]

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes chills me, great album.

[Rocky]

Blue Rose Code - he's a good Hibby anaw

[Kavinho]

The Cinematic Orchestra

[Mixu62]

Penguin Cafe Orhestra. If I'm ever in a foul mood "Air a danser" usually puts a smile on my face.
