Zero 7 - Simple Things

 

[AdamP88]

Norah Jones - Come Away With Me

 

[grinch]

anything by portishead or massive attack. trip-hop just does it for me chill-wise.

i also like the indie band karate, who have a very soft and smooth jazz/rock mix. "the bed is in the ocean" is a perfect example of their subtle greatness.

Also,
Harold Budd- The Pearl
Stars of the Lid- Gravitational Pull Vs. the Desire for an Aquatic Life
Stars of the Lid- The Ballasted Orchestra
Woob- 1194
Mystical Sun- Primordial Atmospheres

I dont think anyone will disagree with this one. SUBLIME - SUBLIME one of my favorite CD's ever. just an incredible cd thats very chill.

They are two great albums, and many DMB fans here think of them as DMB's 2 best albums.

Me, I love them. DMB puts on an amazing live show, so my favourite DMB album is the Listener Supported 2CD.

future sound of london - lifeforms
kruder & dorfmeister

not really a "chill album", but viral sonata (paul miller/ dj spooky) is pretty hypnotic (listen to it in a completely dark room..

)

I'll second Neruda's Thievery pick. Kruder & Dorfmeister are excellent too - I just picked up their K&D Sessions -> yummee! Their DJ Kicks album is very bodacious as well.

The most outstanding pick that I see here (which I almost forgot about) is definitely Sublime's self titled cut. WOW! It's got a classic summer feel, broad appeal, and a nice blend of styles that makes it good for any occasion (imho) - especially chilling out.

As for my own pick, I've found myself drawn to the ole' Frank Sinatra (Greatest Hits) cd.

(since I can't seem to be able to get anything done today, I'll just spam a bit...)

Tori Amos/Boys for Pele and Under the Pink

Elton John/Captain Fantastic

 

[BoardC3]

Dave mathews and Tim Reynold - live at luther college is also a great one
