I've just started getting into this sort of stuff myself recently, but it's such a minefield when you are buying blind. A quick trawl through Amazon and the lists that people create gave me a few clues so I picked up an album called Ariels by a UK band called BENT, and I got a ZERO 7 cd called When It Falls which is very nice. Also picked up a compilation called LATE LOUNGE.

Can anyone recommend anything along those lines, I don't want anything remotely dance orientated or clubby but some nice lounge/jazz/electronic slow type relaxing stuff, which the Zero 7 album seems to be the closest thing I've found

Thanks

Dean Osborn

I still listen to a lot of the bands/musicians who I was turned onto by
other folks here on the 42 Digest… although it seems to ebb & flow in
long-frequency waves. For the past few years I’ve largely been hooked on
lounge electronic and downtempo/chill, the sort of stuff I started
gravitating to in the mid 90’s.

I love that stuff. I've recently come across a compliation of good chill/lounge stuff called Hotel Costes. Old news to anybody who likes this sort of music I'm sure, but I just discovered it recently and it's pretty fantastic IMO. BTW I still listen to Lakeside on a regular basis, it's also pretty fantastic.
