Wow man love it, definitely one of my favourites here.
Love a bit of Blackmill, heard of Bonobo before from a friend they're pretty decent. That Excision tune is a bit harsh for me but I can see how some people find it relaxing. Give these a listen you might enjoy them, there's a very big chance you've heard them before Dave Greening - Purgatory (Sizzlebird Remix) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YF21hhawK2o Asa - Sweeter Things http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9TEd_KnAzc And although you look to be a fan of Blackmill I've just gotta post this Blackmill - Miracle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXVQNSlFJ6M
I've never really gotten to like Aphex Twin but alot of people do love his work.
Some really great tunes here that I hadn't heard of before, keep it up.
You're welcome pal, it's a great album.
I like it, it's an excellent piece of music but whenever I listen to The Cinematic Orchestra – To Build a Home it makes me feel sad.
I've actually never heard of those Boards of Canada tunes which is suprising as I've listened to a few of their songs. I love Echus and Olson, thanks! Liking the Amvicalence Avenue too it's nice. The very start of Echus reminds me of Hiatus - Tiny Doors http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaPUagqyNeM
Oh Mad World an amazing song very chilled but quite depressing!
It's good man, quite relaxing.
Surprised I haven't heard of that Moby album my mum being a fan and all, will check it out aswell as XXYYXX tomorrow!
Nujabes is fantastic, love a bit of Four Tet and Baths too. Thinking of Baths have you heard this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USBzoFo5W8g it's so ridiculously chilled! Haven't heard of the others I'll check them out tomorrow as it's late (or early) where I am so I'm off to bed.
I hadn't thought, chilled is quite a subjective term come ot think of it. The best word that I can come up with to define it for me would be mellow, it has to be light for me. Downtempo/IDM type music and classical music can both can fit under the term chilled for me. There are many genres which have songs which I'd refer to as chilled from acoustic to ambient to even some liquid dnb, it really depends on the song. Genres which I wouldn't consider to be relaxing whatsoever would be metal and all the subgenres and genres related to that. Sorry I didn't think about it before but it's a very vague and subjective question. But I hope what I've said narrows it down slightly.
My favourite album of 2012 has to be Django Django
Honesty and loyalty most probably.
