Spec me some relax/chillout music.

[Drake5]

I'm in a very boring job at the moment and we're told we can use MP3 Players and I think some relaxing music/chillout style would be a good idea but I have no idea which albums I should be looking out for.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Check out Boards of Canada

These are great compilation albums. Try the cinematic orchestra one.

Can be found on itunes

Try some Air.
I liked Talkie Walkie, but all their albums are worth a listen.

 

[parabolic]

try Pink Floyd, "wish you where here" or many "Enigma" albums, or how about "Enya"

This.

Also:

NIN : Ghosts
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross : The Social Network
Zero 7
Air

Blatantly what you need is a bit of Sigur Ros.

Moon Safari album is excellent.

Also try Nightmares on Wax - Smoker's Delight.

And the two Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works albums.

Definitely.

Also, Kings of Convenience. Awesome, laid-back band. Have a look at some of Adani & Wolf's stuff as well.

Give a listen to the following

Beck
I am Kloot
Massive Attack
Portishead

I find they mellow me out enough after a stressful day.

 

[Slinkz]

i always stick on the following to feel the stress just melt away

global communication - 7614

lemon jelly - lost horizons

kruder and dorfmeister - the K&D sessions

 

[HungryHippos]

Check some of this out:

Cafe Del Mar - Paul Oakenfold remix

Once upon a sea of blissful awareness - Esionjim Remix

Silence - Michael Woods remix

 

[oli356]

Don't like that remix of Silence..

 

[jaws104]

Kruder & Dorfmeister - the K&D sessions
Boards of Canada - music has the right to children
Aphex Twin - selected ambient works

 

[coupe69]

Cafe Del Mar - Paul Oakenfold remix

Really? Cafe Del Mar chillout music?

 

[regulus]

What you need is NuSound: Erotic Moods. Despite the suggestive name, it's some of the best chillout music I've ever listened to. I'm sorry if this comes across as grossly cliched, but any time I listen to one of the albums, I'm instantly transported to a secluded Greek beach at dusk ....... with a crew of 'Jenna Jameson's Babes'.

Edit.

Some off the words used to describe the music .. 'Mesmerizing, smooth, ethereal, entrancing'

Underworld - Second toughest in the infants

Almost anything my Underworld is a good call actually, as is early Orbital and Leftfield.
