Jazz Fm Late Lounge
10pm till 1am Monday to Thursdays on London's Jazz Fm (104.2).
Stunning late night mix to chill to. They play all sorts of music
but little of it is what can be described as traditional jazz.
This much more modern. Lazy beats and laid back atmosphere from
artists like Air, Moby, Delirium, Bent and Afterlife, to name
some more well known ones, typifies the music choice. Easy to
listen to, relaxing and only a few adverts makes this the best
choice after a stressful day at work - if you can pick it up...

Winter Chill 2
The second in the winter chill series this double album builds
on the success of HedKandi record label. Darker than some of their
other releases this album is none the less accessible and just
as relaxing.
The two CD's differ slightly in their composition, the first
is full of strings and beautiful vocals whilst the second is much
more mixed up. This, however, isn't a disadvantage because it's
different to most of the so called chillout albums. Highlights
from this CD include LTJ Bukem with Sunrain, Handsome Boy Modeling
School with The Truth and The Angelica Project with Another Skin.

Total Chill Album
Myself and Dom Scott put this together because we hadn't discovered
Hed Kandi and we wanted the best of out our Café del Mar
and Nightmares on Wax albums plus some extra goodies.
Les Nuits Nightmares on Wax
Teardrop Massive Attack
Swollen Bent
My Life Dido
How Do Sneaker Pimps
Whispering Wind Moby
Exchange Massive Attack
Breather 2000 Afterlife
Fire In the Middle Nightmares on Wax
Letting the cables sleep Bush (album version)
Roads Portishead
Black Milk Massive Attack
Riva Slow Pulse feat. Cathy Battisessa
It doesn't flow as well as we would have liked but we were young,
naive and limited by the music we had available at the time. Nevertheless
it still sounds good and has provided many hours of listening pleasure.
A follow up is on the way which will incorporate a wider range of
music of the same style and some classics which were omitted form
the first album. If you know either myself or Dom then you can more
than likely persuade us to produce a copy for yourself.
