Find it amazing that no-one's mentioned the Buddha Bar series. Absolute top-draw stuff, every one. Be careful, as there are a lot of cr@ppy compilations with "Buddha" in the title. Accept no substitute: the original Buddha Bar albums (George V Records) are amazing.

There's also a spin-off series called "Siddhartha: Spirit of Buddha Bar". Volume 3 has just been released, and I just can't stop listening to it!

Definitely agree... I've got a couple of them, and the sound quality is mostly excellent (with a few exceptions). Very pleasant for either foreground or background listening, although not all of it is chill... some I find rather energizing instead.

True, the second CD of each album (they are all double-albums) is more uptempo, but without straying into clubland territory.

My favorite is probably Buddha Bar IV.

Another, in a very similar style: Air - Moon Safari. Such a great chillout album.

I think they've already been mentioned but most in the Café Del Mar series are very nice too.

Brahms 2nd. Or some Debussy or Ravel piano music.

 

[fearless]

Here are some of mine:

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Air - Moon Safari
Tool - Laturalus
Umphrey's McGee - Anchor Drops
Grateful Dead - American Beauty
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
Radiohead - Kid A
My Morning Jacket - Z
Pink Floyd - Echoes
Toto - IV

I'll have to check out Zero 7.

Some nice recommendations. The genre can be so diverse...I've been listening to samples of music mentioned here on amazon like a madman and find diff artists/albums to be love/hate for sure. At the moment I've racked up about $180 in the cart...this can't be good.
