It's mad as f*ck.
The album cover of sheep in a field gives an indication of what it's all about.
When those mad monks start chanting along with the music you feel in another orbit.

"All the way down the East Coast!"
on BBC.CO.UK

But to concentrate on this would be to miss out on one of the most thoughtful and diverse ambient albums around. Not only is this a great ambient album, it's a seminal masterpiece - recorded in 1989 it predates Selected Ambient Works by a few years, and to be honest probably owes more to Brian Eno, having almost no rhythm at all.

Taking anything from the bleating of sheep to Tuvan throat singing, Chill Out weaves from the ultra-quiet chirping of cicadas to a version of In The Ghetto dripping in slide guitar. Repetitive themes such as someone ranting about "goin' down to Atlantic City, straight down the East Coast" and those bleating sheep (they're also on the cover) keep the album coherent as a whole, making it feel a bit like you're having a complicated idea patiently explained to you. Best listened to when you're already relaxed, this album will become a staple of your collection that you'll come back to again and again like an old friend.
