I still got mine with the poster insert too which is a miracle as I did have it on my wall back then!
someone should press “sun set” on vinyl. i’d buy it up in a hurry.
That whole LP
Not sure about best of all time, but this is very nice!
Darude by Sandstorm is the best Ibiza song ever.

Anything can be the greatest chillout in the right company with the right drugs. Post rave in the early 90’s, a lot of people in Sydney would predominantly play beats and electronic music at the afters/comedown session, we often steered towards these sounds as well, but also had an open book policy that involved bands like Love, The Pentangle, The Durutti Column, This Mortal Coil, WAR, Tim Buckley, 10CC, The Korgis, On-U Sound artists and so on.
It became a competition of who could bring out the tracks that blew minds, hit you in the feels and really made a dna imprint on each other via music. TBH - I always preferred a great afters to the night before, and I’m lucky to have had some really special ones, as no doubt every single one of us here has experienced.
Here’s a few more for the upcoming TP Chillout playlist which I’m happy to make on Spotify today. Maybe somebody else wants to do a YouTube version?
Rarely mentioned but an immense album in the ambient techno cannon
the entirety of the Aubrey mixes of UIltraworld was essential chillout
the piano and soft breakbeat - makes me emotional even now
playlist is live! - will add to it as thread evolves. Obviously, not everything was available on Spotify, but most tracks seem to be.
Oh yes! Still sounds so good.

When I saw this thread I thought it was going to be stories about the chill out rooms back in the mid-90’s and especially those that were at the Pharcyde and Vortex raves in Cape Town (super niche, I know) and wasn’t ready to relive those magical velour pillowed drug dens just yet. There was nothing like taking your first half, a little acid to top it off and somehow ending up in those rooms after being separated from your friends and sitting down next to a group of people handing out the purest of doves and eventually your friends find you in a state of bliss in a huge circle massaging strangers hands to a sound track of wonky b-sides, oddball pop played at the wrong speed and anything else that wouldn’t get anywhere near a dance floor. Magical times.
Hahaha well that checks out.
