Chill Out

a review by lance c mcgannon of
release format Chill Out by Various Artists (CD Album)

text

Even from the first glimpse of this release you know who and what this comp is paying tribute to. Both the covers are almost exact copies of the seminal 1990 Chill Out album by the KLF but in place of sheep there are wolves. The music contained therein is not quite chill out music but rather experimental electronica's answer to it. Artists featured on this comp include I-f, Epy, Farmers Manuel, Pomassl, Panacea, Fennesz, Alois Huber, Ryoji Ikeda, Aube, and Bannlust to name a few. The tracks range in styles from noise-like electronica to electro to hard distorted breakbeats (complete with "mu-mu" and "kick out the jams" samples in the latter). Fans of Mego, A-Musik, Sabotage and Sahko will not be disappointed by this one but fans expecting an ambient classic akin to the original Chill Out might be disappointed for experimental challenging flavour on this one. 7/10
