Shallout

On Shallow's current chillout tape:

Side A
At the River - Groove Armada
Polaris - Zero 7
Home Videos - Blu Mar Ten
Tune for Jack - Lemon Jelly
Sunset Door - Mike Oldfield
Space Walk - Lemon Jelly
Ce Matin La - Air
The Staunton Lick - Lemon Jelly

Side B
Ramblin' Man - Lemon Jelly
In Time - Zero 7
King Raam - Lemon Jelly
The Shark - Bonobo
Maya Gold - Mike Oldfield
Nice Weather For Ducks - Lemon Jelly
Optigan 1 - Blur
Neon Lights - O M D
Island - The Edge (on The Captive soundtrack)

It's a careful interleaving of ultra-chilled songs with slightly warmer material. They're all what I call 'bright chill', that is to say they have a bit of authority compared to 'dim chill' which, while it might calm you down, won't cover up your neighbour's drum and bass session.

Island is a great track to finish off any compilation. But it's the best one on The Captive soundtrack. Don't bother getting the album in hopes of finding a better song.
