CDbaby.com is normally a fun place to find new artists....I found quite a few cool chilled country artists there.

They have a nice section where all the listed CDs cost $5 a piece. I got a couple of great CDs from that list.

St Germain, Tourist. also second/third either Zero 7 album and Air, Moon Safari.

THX by Theorem has some gorgeous, sparse, and relaxing ambient techno. It's all back-to-basics kinda techno, but "Minor Explosions" and "Interstate" are beautiful, vast soundscapes. "Break in at apt. 205", "Unherluferlick", "Day From Hell", and "Devil of Rotations" are all more traditional ambient techno Aphex Twin style, but simpler.

The film theme music to Chariots Of Fire works well...(forget the name, now

)

ipod... I second CD Baby... great place to find new music... check out Daughter Darling... and they sell old pelican city releases as well

 

[Paragon]

Enya - Orinico Flow, Only Time, Flora's Secret
Enigma - ...
Floyd - Signs of Life

If I really want to relax.. I go through the classical music. Bach violin pieces, Dvorak #9, Hindemith Metamorphosis, Tchaikovsky - Romeo and Juliet... always finding good pieces.

Your usual stuff:
Buddhabar
Cafe del Mar
Hotel Costes

Rather unsual stuff:
Cafe Abstrait (personal favourite, it's a club in Hamburg, Germany)
Mandarin Chinese Chilling Thrills (nothing Chinese, it's only the name, more electronic than Cafe del Mar)

Misc:
Air - Moon Safari ( great cd)
Brazilectro

All of the above mentioned cds belong to the so-called "chill out" category meaning they involve some sort of constant beat and electronic stuff.

For chilling in the general sense I recommend
Pat Metheny and Charlie Haden - Beyond the Missouri Sky (pretty much the best CD I own)

Yeah, I really like getting CDs by unknown artists. Sometimes you get some real crackers and it's way cooler when your friends only recognise 5% of your music..

Oooze - The fields that never end

 

[ipodstudio]

Bright Eyes by Angela Morley (theme music to Watership Down)

 

[zombietycho]

I really am Likin' "Talkie Walkie" from Air, but I think "Moon safari" is more of a chill out album, both are recommended.
