music worldwide

[wizbit9]

i have noticed after having different conversations and threads with people on lit that music taste is very different for us brits to that of our american friends.

for example there is a huge following of jazz by lit users with alot of knowledge of older rock and a bit of country.

i have found that chilling music to alot of people here is either classical or old blues

I was wondering wether the chill out sessions are massive in the u.s. as they are in europe at the moment. there is a big emphasis of it especially at the mo as summer is upon us

this list will include many british artists such as

groove armarda
portishead
massive attack
morcheeba
faithless
chichane

im curious to know if this is the case for u.s music fans

and as a suggestion for the ultimate chil out song/s

MASSIVE ATTACK - TEARDROP!!!!!

(if you havent ever heard this i am ordering you to do so as it will be placed in everyones top 10 tracks of all time (not joking))

Morcheeba - the sea (vocals of an angel)

Chichane - salt water (very chilled dance track)

hope you enjoy and i'll be very interested to hear u.s. or british opinions on chillout

and as an afterthought.

i hope if you do have this trend that it's not being rammed down your throats like all this ibiza crap is for us

Explain more about these chillout sessions. Are they actual orgainized get-togethers or what?

As far as your list:

I'm partial to Massive Attack's Angel.
Morcheeba is always a winner.

Personally, when it comes time for me to relax it's all about Bob Marley, Fela, Coltrane, Sade, Cassandra Wilson, or Radiohead.

When company's over we like to listen to more down tempo hip hop like Digable Planets, Tribe Called Quest, Pharcyde, De La Soul, etc.

And you can never forget about the always popular Beastie Boys instrumental funk album.

Americans don't chill out, too many lattes' and financial audits. I do love Groove Armada and Morcheeba, though.

Wiz,

When you say Chillout do you mean Jam Secessions that are open to the public?

sessions is a term used in britain for a set by someone

example

beatles the bbc sessions

david bowie the bbc sessions

pulp the steve lamaq sessions

chillout sessions (varied artists compiling a set together of their own work to put on a cd)

faithless - we come one live at newport centre 2002 was absolutely awesome
