A Listmania! list by Magic Lemur (Somewhere in Madagascar)
(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
 
Moon Safari
1.  Moon Safari by Air
The list author says:
  "Gotta start with the defining work of Chillout! Air have never approached this brilliance again, but it is a wonderful thing that this has remained."
£3.97   Used & New from: £0.30
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (76 customer reviews)

Black Cherry
2.  Black Cherry by Goldfrapp
The list author says:
  "Not as popular as 'Felt Mountain', but blissfully weird. Alison Goldfrapp's voice is at the peak of its powers."
£5.77   Used & New from: £0.01
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (63 customer reviews)

Best Kept Secrets 1996 - 2004
3.  Best Kept Secrets 1996 - 2004 by lamb
The list author says:
  "Any group that can write 'Gorecki', know chillout as second nature!"
£5.77   Used & New from: £1.34
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

Play
4.  Play by Moby
The list author says:
  "Yea, yea - you probably know this one - but watch the video 'Jetman' & you'll see its brilliance anew..."
£3.49   Used & New from: £0.01
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (105 customer reviews)

Leftism
5.  Leftism by Leftfield
The list author says:
  "The best electronica Album of the 90's - blends at least 5 genres into serene melodies. If you don't believe me, then pick up any chillout compilation & I bet it has 'Melt' on it!"
£3.99   Used & New from: £0.05
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (49 customer reviews)

Rhythm and Stealth
6.  Rhythm and Stealth by Leftfield
The list author says:
  "Used to death by Ray Mears on his programmes, but that should not detract from it... ;)"
£5.47   Used & New from: £0.19
3.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (32 customer reviews)

Visions
7.  Visions by Jakatta
The list author says:
  "Thought these were just Bandwagon jumpers, but this album has some fine tracks on it, even if the 1st one is just the speaking clock over a beat!"
£15.97   Used & New from: £0.28
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (17 customer reviews)

Resist
8.  Resist by Kosheen
The list author says:
  "I just love this album cover - its so serene! And the music on it is the same - blissed out drum & bass. 'Hungry' is easily the best song (from this perspective.)"
£4.61   Used & New from: £0.49
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (45 customer reviews)

The Best Of
9.  The Best Of by Groove Armada
The list author says:
  "Although the constant looping of the same samples should be nauseating, it is somehow not & 'My Friend' (Track 5) is mesmerising..."
£4.35   Used & New from: £0.21
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (15 customer reviews)

Simple Things
10.  Simple Things by Zero 7
The list author says:
  "Way, way too overrated in the chillout stakes. However 'Waiting Line' & 'Destiny' are good..."
£5.66   Used & New from: £1.34
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (111 customer reviews)

The 5th Exotic
11.  The 5th Exotic by Quantic
The list author says:
  "Obscure, but the first 4 tracks beat anything 'Zero 7' have done for World Peace!"
£8.47   Used & New from: £3.00
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (12 customer reviews)

The Cross of Changes
12.  The Cross of Changes by Enigma
The list author says:
  "Obscure again & only one good track. However, every time I play my Chillout compilation, people loop that song over & over again - Track one 'The Return of Innocence'."
£9.67   Used & New from: £0.21
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (18 customer reviews)

The Best Of M People
13.  The Best Of M People by M People
The list author says:
  "Lost wonders of the 90's - 'Search for the Hero' is blindingly powerful & the rest are guaranteed to bring you joy."
£5.00   Used & New from: £0.01
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

Fragments Of Freedom
14.  Fragments Of Freedom by Morcheeba
The list author says:
  "Fleas on the above, but prolific enough to have moved out from the shadow of the big tree & into their own element..."
Used & New from: £0.01
3.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (26 customer reviews)

3 Feet High And Rising (W/Bonus Cd)
15.  3 Feet High And Rising (W/Bonus Cd) by De La Soul
The list author says:
  "Often cited as chillout, and with good reason - what happened to the genre of Chillout Hip-Hop? Bring it back I say!"
£5.57   Used & New from: £3.48
4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (18 customer reviews)

Jagged Little Pill
16.  Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
The list author says:
  "Ranked #613 in music? Superb album & a forgotten Chillout classic. One of those cases of an eloquent voice dispelling rage (like Eminem can be.)"
£5.00   Used & New from: £0.01
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (75 customer reviews)

The Best Of James
17.  The Best Of James by James
The list author says:
  "Tis rare for a band to understand Chillout. These guys don't do it deliberately but, like Alanis Morrissette, their passion & soul speak to places other chillout doesn't reach! ;)"
£4.97   Used & New from: £0.69
4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (27 customer reviews)

The Sophtware Slump
18.  The Sophtware Slump by Grandaddy
The list author says:
  "Another Chillout Band, but this one do (or rather did) know what they were doing. This album never fails to calm me while driving as it has surreal touches & the lead singer's voice can't be bettered."
£5.48   Used & New from: £0.99
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (39 customer reviews)

Best TV Ads...Ever!
19.  Best TV Ads...Ever! by Best Album In The World Ever (Series)
The list author says:
  "Another car chillout classic. This has so many tracks that are soulful & peaceful though, oddly, they don't seem to work as chillout when taken off the album & put on a compilation."
£4.66   Used & New from: £0.42
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (7 customer reviews)

Chillout Album
20.  Chillout Album by chillout album
The list author says:
  "The original & best though gone out of issue. Quick - Go buy up all the copies!... Actually, maybe its best left as secret brilliance... D'oh!"
Used & New from: £18.95

Chilled Ibiza Vol.1
21.  Chilled Ibiza Vol.1 by Various Artists
The list author says:
  "These CD's are especially good for lazy bedroom afternoons without, though preferably with, company (if you know what I mean...;)"
£26.48   Used & New from: £0.33
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (20 customer reviews)

The Chillout Session
22.  The Chillout Session by Various Artists
The list author says:

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
23.  The Good, The Bad and The Ugly by Ennio Morricone
The list author says:
  "A big secret among Chillout fans - keep it under your hat... Of course there is 'The Very Best of', but that's only the first three tracks & misses 'Ecstacy of Gold'..."
£5.67   Used & New from: £3.54
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (14 customer reviews)

Oxygene - 30th Anniversary + 2D DVD
24.  Oxygene - 30th Anniversary + 2D DVD by Jean Michel Jarre
