I've been looking for some good lounge music lately and it seems that all anyone suggests is Everything but the girl. What is some other good lounge music?

lemongrass appear on a fair few 'lounge music' compilations, as does AK musique.

I think Buddha Bar series is good lounge music. Great quality too.

Morcheeba - especially the album Charango.
Cafe del Mar - the different volumes are what I prefer (e.g. Volumen Uno, Volumen Duo, and so on) as opposed to the once-off compilations like Dreams or Essential Feelings
Buddha Bar - as mentioned above. This is seriously chilled though, sometimes too "background" for my liking
Hooverphonic - warning, can sometimes get a little weird/psychedelic
Erotic Lounge - compilation
The Best of Ambient Lounge - also a compilation
Hotel Costes - all volumes are pretty good
