Just been on holiday and listened to some of my mates chillout music. Ive got a couple of Morcheeba cds which are great but what other albums are there thats good for chillin to?
 
Albums I would recommend the following:

Air - Moon Safari
Bent - Programmed To Love
Bonobo - Dial M For Monkey

If you want to get to hear a few of their tunes as a taster then I would highly recommend the following:

Air - All I Need
Bent - On The Lake
Bonobo - The Plug
Bonobo - Kota

The acoustic songs on The Singles album by Basement Jaxx

Sigur Ros is good chillout music.
 
Sigur Ros - ( )
Jose Gonzales - Veneer
The Album Leaf - In A Safe Place
Tom McRae - Tom McRae
Brian Eno - Music For Airports
Boards of Canada - Music HAs The Rights TO Children
Goldfrapp - Felt Mountain
Silver Mt Zion - He Has Left Us Alone But Shafts of Light Still Sometimes Grace the Corners of Our Rooms
Portishead - Portishead
Nick Drake - Pink Moon

Those are my favourite chillout albums. Yes.
 
Another vote for Bonobo. Also Kruder & Dorfmeister- Sessions is one of the best albums of all time in the chillout genre.

Bob Marley is always worth a blast for chillout time too :)
 
Sufjan Stevens
A Lily
Fennesz
Global Communication

The Future Sound Of London
Audrey

The Passenger... 17yr old... :)
Here's something I used to chill to in a time when I was near your age. New Age of Earth by Ash Ra Tempel (later know as Ashra).

Also, Smoker's Delight and Carboot Soul by Nightmares on Wax manage to chill me.

Depending on your views of chillout:

Massive Attack
Boards of Canada

Both of those two are quality... Check out Aphex Twin's selected ambient works series... stunning and I cannot believe the first one has song on it that are over 20 years old. :eek:
 
Pretty much anything by Jean Michelle Jarre,
A lot of PinkFloyd (Dark Side of the Moon and Wish you were Here are especially good imo)
Moby's music is pretty chilled out to.
Personally I also find Mark Knopfler's solo albums very relaxing (Overall his stuff with Dire Straits was better, but not as relaxing - of the albums I've listened to atleast)
