portishead is my supper

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUlr_E1Xy2I

all 3 albums

Couple of Portisheads tracks are of course on the list.

Thanks, waiting for more replies....

How about four of the most well known chilled albums...

Massive Attack - Mezzanine
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92
Chicane - Far From The Maddening Crowds
Underworld - Dubnobasswithmyheadman

Works by Bluetech and Solar Fields are also great for chilling to (and I believe they come under the downtempo genre). For drum and bass; Omni Trio, Blu Mar Ten, Instra:Mental and Calibre similarly do the job just fine.

The Heliocentrics

Oh I know a track you probably don't know! Massive Attack - Teardrop!


Haha yeah I only saw Kubazz say he was omitting artists like MA after clicking submit. Take a listen to some of these though, I mentioned some artists at the bottom of the post who have made some top releases. You might have heard a few of these before, but no harm in posting just in case you haven't

Bop - Enjoy The Moment
Solar Fields - Leaving Home
Helios - First Dream Called Ocean (Stray remix) [I strongly recommend this!!!]
Instra:mental - Pacific Heights
Bluetech - Elementary Particles
Underworld - To Heal
Omni Trio - Renegade Snares

sneaker pimps - almost anything from their first album

Epic album for me, finally someone that knows this music!

My favorite chillout album - (I suggest to play this at night in your garden, some friends, some drinks and a clear sky of stars):



I also recommend:

Zero7 - Simple Things
Bonobo - Days to Come
Bonobo - Animal Music
Fluke - Risotto (most tracks)
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works A & B
Massive Attack - Blue Lines
Massive Attack - 100th Window
Massive Attack - Heligoland
Boards of Canada - The Campfire Headphase
Boards of Canada - Geogaddy
Sneaker Pimps - Bloodsport
Sneaker Pimps - Becoming X

People seem to listen to a lot of stuff that I used to listen myself during all these years, nice discovery, haha....)

Almost forgot some of the tracks. I am not going to play too dark tracks this time so it'll be more chilled-out stuff, including some old tracks by Moby, Faithless (some of them), of course some Massive (the lighter ones), Apparat,
Thievery Corporation, Kruder & Dorfmeister and such downtempo. Loungy stuff.

Sneaker Pimps - Post-modern sleaze

it's the soundtrack of a belgian series called Matroesjka's, recommendation for everyone!

I think this is a great topic But I can't add anything that's not here yet.

I diss that series for one reason only - typical Western propaganda about Russians. Noone will show anything good about Russians, it's always sex-slavery, alcohol, how bad conditions are in the province in Russia. Tired of this on Swedish television already.

Post-modern sleaze is one of my favourite tracks with SP.
