Hey, I'm new to this board, but I'd like to ask all of you if you know where I can find some good chill out music. I'm looking for something like Enya, or more of a trance thing. What are your suggestions?

From New Age: Yanni, Enigma, Era, Delerium. Dead Can Dance, Vangelis, Mike Oldfield(remixes), Govi, Ennio Moricone, The Corrs.
From classic Dream House: Dj Dado, Robert Miles, Imperia, Dolphins Mind etc.
From Ambient: LTJ Bukem, Boards of Canada, Apex Twins etc.

If I recall more I'll post.

It's kind of funny that you mention chill music. My friends have made three whole mix tapes using the idea of "chill" as a central organizing point (though not in exactly the same way as you are thinking of it, I don't imagine). I'll see if I can dig up any of the playlists from those tapes...

Postal Service is a good chill cd for me.

Okay, I found one of those chill mixes I mentioned. Here's the lineup --

Side A:

Don't Panic - Coldplay
Lips of Ashes - Porcupine Tree
Like a Stone - Audioslave
Runaway - Marillion
Us and Them - Pink Floyd
The Great Gig in the Sky - Pink Floyd
Tea in the Sahara - Police
Bridge Across Forever - Transatlantic

Side B:

Sleepwalk - Joe Satriani and Robert Fripp
Driver Under - Seether
Round and Round - Neil Young
Talk Show Host - Radiohead
Pink Moon - Nick Drake
Blood In My Eyes - Bob Dylan
Wish You Were Here - Radiohead
Broken Wings - Mr. Mister
Summer Breeze - Seals and Croft
Untitled - Silverchair
[Hidden Track]

What do you think? It's a little less chill than the other mix tapes in the series, but it's good nonetheless.

I'll look around on Kazaa, see if I can find them. Thanks, good playlist!

Check out lotus, they will be back in denver this fall/winter. I think theyre comin g out with a new cd soon. www.Lotusvibes.com

My chill music playlist consists almost entire of Frou Frou, who I dicovered after checking out the "Garden State" soundtrack. Check out the track "Let Go" as a good example of their type of music.

Same here. I heard of her through a friend.

Lotus is pretty awesome, I was looking for LTJ Bukem with no luck on WinMX. I also downloaded a phat beat from the Chemical Brothers called "Galaxy Bounce"
