Albums for chilling on the beach

Youstolemyname · 18 Jun 2007 at 13:17

Off to a beautiful beach on friday for two weeks. Any recommendations for some 'must have' albums to just chill to?

For chilling, I like things like Air- Moon Safari, Morcheeba- Big Calm, Massive Attack, but am open to any suggestions

Thanks for your input in advance

Mylo - Destroy Rock & Roll

Have a listen to "Sunworshipper" from that album. It's the first song that comes to my mind when the words "beach" and "chill" are mentioned

The Cafe Del Mar albums.

I'm a huge fan of 6/ses

Not an album but I find Passive by A Perfect Circle an excellent relaxing song.

It's gotta be Jack Johnson, surely?

Groove Armada - At the river. PERFECT music 4 the beach.

At about 1.30 it becomes the gd beach track

Nightmares on Wax - Carboot Soul
Nightmares on Wax - Smoker's Delight
Nightmares on Wax - In A Space Outta Sound

Basically. Engineered for beach-chilling.

Get some real mellow dub / reggae, always good with hot weather and lazy days

If someone was playing that at the beach I'd hold them under the surf till the bubbles stopped..

A bit obvious, but DJ Shadow is hard to beat for beaching.

Also, if the sun is still shining then The Go! Team are undisputed champions of sunshine happiness.

If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air, quaint little villages here and there.

A bit of Changeling, What does your soul look like (Pt.4), Giving up the Ghost, Six Days (obviously) and maybe Blood on the motorway...

Jose Gonzalez - Veneer

Listened to this constantly when on Holiday last year. Will be listening to it a lot on the 26th when I go away for 2 weeks to Majorca.

Other nice music Albums:

Bonobo - Dial M For Monkey
Bent - Programmed To Love
Air - Moon Safari
Sigur Ros (Most Albums - 'Takk' being a favourite)

CD1 of ASOT 2006 imaginatively titled "At the Beach".

jbloggs · 19 Jun 2007 at 13:40

Something quite different from current suggestions:

The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds.

You rock you know you do!
Man I love that track so much, I remember Zoe Ball playing it as record of the week on Radio One a few years ago now.

Love it
