(6 Customer Reviews)
The KLF: Jimmy Cauty, Bill Drummond. Recording information: Trancentral. Unknown Contributor Roles: Davies; P. Green; Jimmy Cauty; Jerry H. Bilik; The KLF; Bill Drummond. One of the initial works in the ambient house canon, Chill Out is the practically beatless soundtrack to a late-night journey along the Gulf Coast, and the track titles tell much of the story: "Six Hours to Louisiana, Black Coffee Going Cold," "3AM Somewhere Out of Beaumont," "Elvis on the Radio, Steel Guitar in My Soul." Recorded live by Drummond and Cauty (with much unintended help from sample victims Elvis Presley, Fleetwood Mac, and the throat singers of Tüva), Chill Out consists largely of fragmented, heavily reverbed steel guitar, environmental sounds (birds, trains), occasional synth, and an angelic vocal chorus repeating the KLF's own "Justified and Ancient" theme. Throughout, Drummond and Cauty display an instinctive talent for wallpaper music that's truly diverting, making Chill Out one of the essential ambient albums. ~ John Bush 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.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." Purchase Chill Out CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Gov't Mule By A Thread CD (2009)
Chill Out
$11.64 Personnel: Warren Haynes (vocals, guitar); Danny Louis (keyboards); Matt Abts (drums, percussion). Audio Mixers: Gordie Johnson; Warren Haynes. BY A THREAD is Gov't Mule's first studio album since HIGH & MIGHTY was issued in 2006. Since that time, bassist Andy Hess has been replaced by Jorgen Carlsson, though Hess appears on two tracks at the end of the album. Carlsson's playing style is much more aggressive than Hess', and is therefore closer - in spirit anyway - to Gov't Mule's original bassist, the late Allen Woody, though he possesses an adventurous sense of time and is harmonically more colorful than either Woody or Hess. Carlsson and drummer Matt Abst are a solid match, since Abst is a drummer used to shifting time signatures and allowing the unexpected in while still driving a band. The band's keyboardist and rhythm guitarist, Danny Louis, is a shape-shifter, playing to whatever is needed in a given track. His manner of coloring sounds inside and around a particular tune's framework is a large part of what makes Gov't Mule's sound so fresh here - despite the fact that they don't stray far from what they do best. Warren Haynes and his guitar are, as usual, front and center, his guitar screaming, his big throaty growl hammering down lyrics like a Southern fire-and-brimstone preacher with earthshaking soul. The material on this set is tight; there is less jamming but Gordie Johnson's production and mixing equalize everything at ten, making it feel like the disc ...

Chill Out
$11.18 Personnel: Scott Stapp (vocals); Mark Tremonti (guitar); Howard Benson (keyboards, programming); Scott Phillips (drums). Audio Mixer: Chris Lord-Alge. Getting right back to where they started from, Creed reunites for Full Circle, putting all tensions to rest and cutting their first album in eight years. FULL CIRCLE is a none-too-subtle allusion to how they're getting back to their beginnings, but a cynic could say they never got much past it, toiling the same weathered ground ...

| | Kings Of Leon Only By The Night CD (2008)
Chill Out
$13.75 Kings of Leon: Caleb Followill (vocals, guitar); Matthew Followill (guitar, background vocals); Jared Followill (bass instrument, background vocals); Nathan Followill (drums, background vocals). Personnel: Jacquire King , Angelo Petraglia (keyboards). Audio Mixer: Jacquire King . Recording information: Blackbird Studio, Nashville, TN. With their raw, organic sound, Tennessee's Kings of Leon emerged in 2003 as Southern rock for the indie-garage set, sort of a Strokes for the South. While there were hints of a new direction on their third album, BECAUSE OF THE TIMES, its follow-up, ONLY BY THE NIGHT, follows through with a near-reinvention of the Kings' sound. ONLY BY THE NIGHT could be mistaken for avant-indie cult heroes the Liars on a Southern vacation, as post-punk angularity, distorto-funk bass lines, and clattering percussion are processed through what sounds like the world's biggest fuzzbox. While there are old-glory moments of garagey abandon, most of these tracks sound like someone sat and carefully considered the best way to frame them. And that's the difference between making a good album and making a great one. With 2007's Because of the Times, Kings of Leon ventured out of the garage and into the arena. Tracks like "Black Thumbnail" and "Camaro" were bold, anthemic rock songs that built upon the barnyard stomp of Youth & Young Manhood, and Because of the ...

| | Gob Iron Death Songs For The Living CD (2006) Digipak
Chill Out
$10.25 Sun Volt's Jay Farrar and Varnaline's Anders Parker recorded this collection of traditional American folk songs between recording sessions for their main bands, and the results are spine-tingling (and as good as anything they've recorded separately). The duo deftly reworks folk standards previously recorded by luminaries like the Stanley Brothers and Ramblin' Jack Elliot, imbuing these often dark tales with an easy and non-melodramatic grace. Farrar's one original, the bluesy "Buzz and Grind," fits right in, sounding like one of the Band's sultrier numbers. After searching for a new creative focus during the first half of the new millennium with a handful of disappointing solo albums, Jay Farrar finally hit a groove again by taking a step backward and reviving his band Son Volt on the 2005 album Okemah and the Melody of Riot. Okemah was Farrar's strongest music since Son Volt's 1995 debut, and in 2006 he once again played to his strengths by gesturing toward his musical past with a new project, Gob Iron. Gob Iron finds Farrar collaborating with singer and multi-instrumentalist Anders Parker of Varnaline, but in many ways their first album feels like a variation on the themes of Uncle Tupelo's masterful acoustic album, March 16-20, 1992. Like March 16-20, Death Songs for the Living is dominated by traditional folk songs, which in this case have been lyrically and musically fashioned into new shapes by Farrar and Parker, and while the occasional electric instrument drifts in and out of the picture, the arrangements are purposefully spare and celebrate the simplicity of these songs rather than trying to twist them into more elaborate forms. While Parker doesn't take as active a role on this album as Jeff Tweedy did on Uncle Tupelo's acoustic opus, he does contribute ...
