music to chill out to....

Do you want long ambient instrumental pieces? Like ambient techno (nothing like techno, just really chill). Hard to explain.

 

hey there..yeah, that sounds good to me..
need something to chill to..

 

Okay, here are some post rock/ambient/laid back/jazz (sometimes)/ but not to be mistaken for new age albums I like. Most is instrumental with occasional spoken dialogue and/or movie sound clips woven in. It is perfect to make a playlist and just relax for a few hours for several days in a row, if you want that.

Obviously, I am biased, but I think this is very good, and even interesting, spacey/relaxing music. It is a lot, but I simply want to give you plenty of options, not overwelm you. Because I can offer more, but I will wait.

Labradford - Mi Media Naranja
Auburn Lull - Alone I Admire
Lanterna - Sands
Hammock - Raising Your Voice... Trying To Stop An Echo
Loscil - Submers
Dif Juz - Extractions
Pan American - 360 business 360 bypass
Beef Terminal - The Grey Knowledge
Jim O'Rourke - Bad Timing
A Lily - Wake:Sleep
Rachel's - Selenography
Japancakes - The Sleepy Strange
Stafraenn Hakon - Skvettir Edik A Ref
Peter Broderick - Float
Yagya - Rhythm Of Snow
Gas - Zauberberg
Couch - Fantasy
Water Fai - Girls in the White Dream

 

Yatha Sidra - A meditation mass. Couldn't find any online samples... but I highly recommend it. Very relaxed 70's psych rock. More relaxed with a touch of psychedelia then rock so excellent for this thread

 

I second Yatha Sidra too, pretty good album.

Tell me if you listen to any of the albums I mentioned and what you thinked!

 

I don't know any of the names on your list! I'm really not into most post rock, ambient, shoegaze and crossovers of those with eachother or jazz though. I did try it out, especially when it started to get associated with the stoner rock, psych & progressive rock scene since I like certain styles in there but I got dissappointed time after time. It appears really not to be my cup of tea, I'm afraid. But yeah, I'm kind of a pretty selective bastard when it comes to my chill music (even within the genres that I love)

 

Oh, I meant the OP. But yah, to each his/her own.

 

yes, have been listening to some of the stuff that i could find all day here, and thank you for taking the time and trouble to list all that lot..and i thinked, hehe, some of it was pretty damn good..

really liked the first one labradford and yagya..
but some i couldn't find anywhere though, shame..

like stuff like this too..dave stewart and candy dulfer, lily was here..
drums and sax..good combination..gets into your body so you feel it..you know what i mean?

and this ulrich schnauss, monday paracetamol..

 

Ulrich is one of my favorites, surprised I forgot him.

Soulseek is a goldmine for rare stuff by the way.

Sugar Plant - Happy/Trance Mellow
Labradford - E Luxo So (also very good)
Stars of the Lid - Avec Laudenum

Might be pushing it, but, Fuxa - Very Well Organized

If you liked Yagya, I think the Gas album would be a good one to check out too.

If you want chill music with lyrics, I can come back with lots more. Or at least a dozen or so to start.

 

shamanistic drums.

 

it's so annoying when youtubes get taken off.
going to go through this thread and try and replace them, and also remember to put the name and artist so that i can find them again..

the shame is, that some had beautiful videos to watch while listening, and now they're gone, sadly.

 

ust happy u liked it, i know the man made it, and i know he be happy the more ppl like hes music

 

there's some happy memories in this thread and others of mine, some sad ones too, especially now.
anyone got anything for a shattered heart?
a good tune or song to start putting back the pieces?

(sorry everyone, i do tend to wear my heart on my sleeve, always was just a silly soft hippie, but wouldn't want it any other way)
