Well, back in the day (20-odd years! FFS!! Where does the time go??!!)

Anyway.

Back in the day, a spliff or two was enjoyed of a weekend and I had some "go to" stuff to chill out to. Chief of which were two albums:-

Kruder & Dorfmeister : The K & D Sessions The first track is a bit "meh", so go to 6:50 which is where the album really starts for me.

Dave Seaman : Back To Mine Copper-bottomed chillout from start to finish, IMO.

I have the Dave Seaman one and several others also got some of the Back to Mine compilations
The list I have so far is pretty large and varied to be fair but I guess I was looking for suggestions of stuff I have just that haven't jumped out at me

Just spotted America in there. (British/American Band by the way!!)
Try out Midlake, albums with Tim Smith as the lead singer (he wrote and sang the lyrics on The Chemical Brothers "The Pills won't help you now".

The Trials of Van Occupanther
The Courage of Others

Utterly brilliant in my opinion.

The Maccabees- Into the Wild. Again, excellent chilled.

Massive Attack- Blue Lines & Protection.

Isbells- anything

The Besnard Lakes- saw them live in Shoreditch at a tiny venue back in 2011. Stunning.

I could go on but I'm hungry!!

Groove Armada - At the River
Sigur Rós - Hoppípolla



Are you compiling this list from your own music collection or on Spotify/Amazon/Ect? If the latter I think you need to share it when you've finished because there's some fantastic suggestions here.

Its literally from my own music collection of CD's and downloaded music that I have.
The list is for my Google Home devices and I am looking through my local music library and uploading it to my Google music account as and when I can.
I was looking at seeing how I can download the list but it isn't easily done
