Yeah, it may be 4 o'clock in the mornin, but have had a few and still up so thought i'd ask you all...

To chillout what do you all listen to? If you do...

Currently got Paolo Nutini on, very good! Had the feeling on before :)

Its been a bad day ;) I was willing to take the risk with the choice of tunes! Both have paid off!

Dunno about chillout but I relax to the soothing sound of Morcheeba's album Big Calm. or Massive Attack.

Either that or I don't relax and go the other way and put on some Rage or Spineshank, which might account for why I can't get to sleep.

+1 to Morcheeba
Or there's always Enya, Jean Michel Jarre, Clannad, Tangerine Dream, Kosheen but the winner has to be ........... Pink Floyd :notworthy:

I listen to Massive Attack to chillout:

Mezzanine is one of the finest chillout albums.

Philistine,
personally something like Barbers adagio for strings, three flavours, just the instruments, the choral version they used for homeworld(the computer game) or the club version, great anyway

Strangely, after Runt saying Adagio for strings, I also find some of Tiesto good!

I love "Clocks" (Coldplay), but also have about half-a-dozen different versions/mixes/remixes of it on my iPod - could quite happily listen to that track for hours (and sometimes do!).

If you like the track then have a hunt around for the Royksopp remix - brilliant (and it even extends my listening pleasure to around 6 minutes :D)
