 Chill Out (KLF album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chill Out is the title of a seminal 1990 ambient house album by British electronic group The KLF.
The album is part ambient music for post-rave chill outs, part concept album - a mythical road trip (or perhaps train journey) up the U.S. Gulf Coast from Texas into Louisiana.
The cover of Chill Out was partly a reference to the cover of Pink Floyd 's Atom Heart Mother which features cows, and partly an attempt to establish a pastoral feel reminscent of an early morning in the English countryside after one of the big outdoor raves of the late 80's.

 The KLF - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The album suffered major legal setbacks because of its use of ABBA 's Dancing Queen, and Drummond and Cauty were sued and ordered to destroy all remaining copies of the offending record.
The album, minus the offending samples, was later released as a 12" single, complete with instructions on how to create the original album.
KLF also performed a live version of the song, augmented by thrash punk rock band Extreme Noise Terror, at the 1992 Brit Awards ceremony.

 The KLF - Chill Out - On Second Thought - Stylus Magazine
The truth seems to be that Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty recorded the album live—without edits, and in one take— at their Trancentral studio.
Chill Out is a drive through a land populated by the simple, uneducated.
This record, along with works by contemporaries (and sometimes collaborators) the Orb and, to a lesser degree, Ultramarine and the FSOL, became the soundtrack for chill out rooms, post-rave comedowns, and smoking spliffs, and in hindsight have been shackled with the albatross of hippiedom.

 Klf Music and Discussion
The Chill Out album is a perfect album - and very rare in that.
just to say the chill out album is the best ever chill out album ever,had it for 10 years now and still come down to it.
KLF stands for Kopyright Liberation Foundation- hence their first albums were all about sampling other artists.

 klf - waiting for the rites of mu
the album, whether genuine or not, is a perfect way to close this particular pop music chapter.
the fact that the above info advised that the klf prevented this album from being released indicated to those involved with the 'leak' that this is indeed a genuine klf recording.
lots of well used klf sound snippets are interspersed with various choral parts, church organs etc, along with the obvious jimi hendrix samples (harking back to the glory days of 1987) the first track is as indicated above a 42 meandering mini sonic capsule of the klf's recorded output.

 Chill Out: A Guide To Essential Ambient & Downtempo On CD
Except for one new studio album, one remix album, the odd single and a few concert tours they remained largely idle throughout the 80's and 90's.
Look out for albums by Richard Dorfmeister's band Tosca and also the self-titled release by Peter Kruder's Peace Orchestra.
His first album for Grand Central is also one of the finest albums in the label's history.

 Gunnar Homdrum :: CD recommendations :: Chill Out Electronica
The Chill Out genre quickly got stars like KLF and The Orb, bands that used to do progressive rock, and therefore found it naturally to make long and extensive concept albums.
The Hed Kandi Label has several Chill Out compilations and the "Serve Chilled" and "Winter Chill" series are all excellent double CD sets.
Chill Out actually started in England (London and Birmingham), when the rave culture started in 1988-89.

 TrouserPress.com :: KLF
Drummond's solo album, The Man, is a tastefully understated country-rock collection of original songs with backing from, among others, nearly all of the Triffids and the Voice of the Beehive.
Continuing to explore spacey trance music, Cauty joined Alex Patterson in a side band which began recording an album as the Orb.
Born in Scotland but arriving in the music biz via the 1977 Liverpool scene, Drummond was a founding member of Big in Japan, launched the Zoo label with Dave Balfe and then became the manager of Echo and the Bunnymen and the Teardrop Explodes.

 EMforum.nl / Similar artists to Kraftwerk?
Excellent album, I have been waiting for it to be (re-)released on cd for like 10 years.
Technodelic is a brilliant album, and bits of the first self-titled YMO album, and the second Solid State Survivor, are very Kraftwerk influenced.
Albums such as the Musique Intemporel sampler and the untangentised Edgar Froese albums aren't available anymore (except at E-Bay perhaps) and will almost surely never be re-released again.

 Library of Mu - KLF is Gonna Rock Ya!
The album is Cauty and Drummond's first full-length album in the US under the name The KLF.
The band pulled back and regrouped, deciding to put together an album that you could listen to after the dance music was over.
Drummond is on record as being not-particularly-fond of the idea that the long-playing album is the center of the musical universe, so one wonders why The KLF is leaping into another full-length release so soon after the release of THE WHITE ROOM.

 Library of Mu - The KLF: Enigmatic dance duo
Cauty: "Well 'Chill Out' was done with two DAT machines and a cassette recorder!" Drummond: "'Chill Out' was a live album that took two days to put together from bits and pieces.
If the KLF were spacing out, the picture of them by the sea in the "Sunday Times" magazine of March 1990 confirmed that "Chill Out" was no mere whimsical indulgence.
Released on 7", 12" and CD single, a special limited edition additionally sneaked out which included the original 1988 version plus a weird Echo And The Bunnymen remix.

 Amazon.com: Music: Chill Out
Chill Out is not only the best ambient album ever made, it's also one of the best albums ever made.
The general premise (I assumed) of the album was the concept of a night traveler in Texas and Louisiana who picks up various country, Mexican, blues and Bible-belt radio stations, over which the KLF added the typical nocturnal sounds you hear in the countryside (albeit with a few effects, some thunder and atmospheric synths).
Yet despite the absence of danceable rhythms, this album over the years is one of very few that I think captures the ideology and essence of the early 1990s electronic music/rave years, not necessarily as an archive of club hits but more as musical analogy.

 Flak Magazine: Review of Zero 7's Simple Things, 02-05-02
Out of that fertile land comes a new DJ-producer duo called Zero 7, and their debut album, Simple Things, has finally dropped in the United States.
Male vocalist Mozez shines on three songs, especially the album opener "I Have Seen," which starts off slowly and reaches a dizzying climax, complete with sitar and tabla which come seemingly out of nowhere to finish a great song.
The album highlight, "Distractions," is sung to perfection by Australian vocalist Furler, and her distinctive husky voice lends heft to an already powerful song.

 THE TOFU HUT
This track is off the same album as the previous Langston: Voices of Black America.
Celebrated as one of the greatest albums of the nineties, "Ambient" is perenially music of the future today.
The album 'Blue in the Face' hails from, "Appleseed" is also no longer in print, but if you like what you hear, you'll probably dig on what you get when you buy "Labor Days" from Amazon.

 The Naked Maja
*Both these albums came out in 1982 and represent perhaps the most chilling and violent use of the acoustic guitar in British music.
In a sixth sense, the Shadows lived out their entire career in a series of shadows – the shadows of a richer and brighter post-war America, the suffocating shadow of ration(alis)ed post-war Britain, the blinding shadow of pre-war British showbiz under which the Shadows were forced to dwell.
There is nothing in British music which chills the blood as profoundly as Carthy’s pronouncement of “’Twas in Stony Fields that they killed me”; the sentiment seems to radiate and expand to suggest other areas of British life and violent death, by extension to Peterloo or to Thamesmead or to Verdun.

 Definition of Ambient music
Their first album - "Are You Shpongled?" (1998) set the standards for psychedelic chillout music.
Psychedelic chillout music is the ambient form of psychedelic trance and Goa trance and is considered one of the most complex form of ambient music.
Some examples include Radiohead's track "Treefingers" from the Kid A album, some of the work of Japanese musician Nobukazu Takemura, and IDM artist Hrvatski 's album Playthroughs (recorded under his real name, Keith Fullerton Whitman).

 Ambient Recommendations
But if "Chill Out" is a drive across America, "World Receiver" is a train under the sea, running from freight depots in Sweden to caves under the Brazilian jungle, to a dirty bit of sidewalk in Hong Kong, and you're sort of deliberately letting your attention wander from thing to thing.
Yeah, those two Labradford albums are perfect for this.

 P R O J E C T - A - Short Cuts
Back then, the KLF released an album called Chill Out on which you could only hear very very quiet music, music to chill out with.
Sometimes it is, but there is always an dark undercurrent making this album something to freak you out, rather then to chill to.
An album containing thirteen of the nastiests motherfucking electronic dance tracks you're likely to hear this year.

Their albums for Mango/Island continued in the same militant vein, and Anthem was remixed for the American market and earned a Grammy for the band.
Three years later, the album was remixed and released as "Black Sounds Of Freedom".
In addition to recording a memorable studio album, "Red", and an exciting live album, "Tear It Up", the group reached its peak with the release of "Anthem" in 1983.

 SFBG A+E August 4, 1999 Sounds of the earth moving
Twelve years later, ambient reached an emotional breakthrough with the Orb's seminal track "A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules from the Centre of the Ultraworld" and KLF's album Chill Out.
The need to chill out became all too apparent.
Intended to "induce calm and a space to think," as the composer put it, its effect was more like wallpaper than dynamic, immersive music.
