Mellow DE -stressing al***s what's your best shot?

Posted by: mongo on 02 June 2010

Hi all.

Having spent a fair amount of time recently upgrading my system and generally getting it wrong and being furious, I've finally sorted it to my satisfaction again.

So I,ve been piling back into my cd collection and noticed I don't have any serious chill-out music. None at all really, except the Carpenters as it were.

So;

This question is to address that shortfall.

I'm very interested in what everyone thinks is there favourite relaxing album, or two, or more.

Whether it be because of a particularly melodious girl's voice (hence the carpenters), or an especially well played uber-cool sax affair, or some sublime string arrangement, none of this matters. Anything counts.

The crieria should be that the album can calm a savage mood,

or just suits a relaxing cold one in the setting sun.

Mellow is the word.

Cheers, Paul.

Miles Davis - 'In A Silent Way': always works for me!

Kind Of Blue works every time for me. Semi darkness and a decent shot of single malt with it always help...

In addition to those already mentioned (KOB and Silent Way, which always hit the spot)






And the recently aquired


There are plenty of other, but this should get you chillin'

The Beatles Blue Album. As soon as I hear the first few bars of Strawberry Fields I'm off to a calm, peaceful place.
