SC Thread by DJ ML - Recommend Some Good Chill Out / Downtempo albums!!

http://www.subvertcentral.com/thread-63057.html

In this thread, currently with 221 readers, a few of the board are commenting with records - specifically, albums - that grew our likings for chilled out music, with beats or not.

As such, the differential is with chillout music being more a brand that got fashioned by Paul Oakenfold and the like, the Café Del Mar and Ibiza club scene and after parties - rather than a generative mood music, or an isolationist discovery.

Because of this, I have reached for slightly more middle-ground releases than my usual isolationist ambient music recommendations, as even for me, I do enjoy a good hook or mood music vibe, whether we call it aciiied related or not (see acid house, Tall Paul, 808 State and Jam and Spoon).

Ecumenically so, talking points on club culture and Ibiza have been covered in much depth even by auteur writers like Simon Reynolds; "Energy Flash" and "Retromania" for example are often cited by book selling sites as common go-tos on the scene itself.

And that's commenting on dance music as a whole - not microgenres, subgenre grenades thrown into the mix and what have you.

Check it out - or chill out, either way - you might be placidly cleansed.
