KLF - Chill Out CD


Available from Amazon Marketplace 3 New from $159.99 10 Used from $39.99

Say what you will about mind-expanding drugs, but without them, the world wouldn't have SERGEANT PEPPER'S, DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, or KLF's CHILL OUT. The very concept of a chill-out room only became necessary within the rarified rave culture of the '80s and '90s, when club-goers needed a respite from Ecstacy-induced whirling and the random hugging of strangers.

On CHILL OUT, listeners are treated to a sonic collage that works as both fascinating listening and an aural blanket in which to wrap oneself to counteract the affect of too many pinging synapses. Each song here is a hallucinatory vignette, filled with sounds that could have been collected from dreams. A sleepy sax floats over ocean noises and seagulls in "Melody From a Past Life Keeps Pulling Me Back," while elsewhere are heavenly choirs, railroad ambience, Tibetan chants, stuttering synthesizers, a snippet of Elvis Presley singing "In the Ghetto," sounds of thunder, and disembodied voices off the radio. It adds up to one of the most original and enduring examples of a musical genre that has subsequently been mined past the point of usefulness.

Unknown Contributor Roles: Davies; P. Green; Jimmy Cauty; Jerry H. Bilik; The KLF; Bill Drummond.

Q (7/99, p.151) - Included in Q's Best Chill-Out Albums of All Time - "...inventing ambient house and the concept of the chill-out room. CHILL OUT added definition and plotline....More coherent and enjoyable than the records it inspired."

I was anxious to receive this album and play it as I had heard many different views about their music (and the burning of all that money!). When I played the CD I was mesmerized. Absolutely the best of chill out I have heard. The way they import ditties of other songs, superb. Definitely one to join my top 10 best of all time. Buy it now!

5 stars Greatest Chill Out music ever
That's why it was called "Chill Out". After wandering home at 8:00am after a serious night out, there is nothing better than this album to take the edge of things to help you relax. Simply brilliant.
