    Loved that other Robbie Robertson track he had years ago...crazy river or something.

    That gutteral bluesy talking thing is fairly unique.

    I'd be a lot more into the electronic ambient stuff when it comes to chillout so I won't go recommending anything too far removed, as I reckon you're more after the vocal kind...some of Kruder & Dorfmeister's remix stuff might be your thing

    I'll just post one of their better remixes:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccqY-R_M2nY


    Their mix of David Holmes' Gone is quality too...

    Whilst on the subject of Bomb the Bass, some of their work with Gui Boratto is fairly laidback vocal/slowbeat too. The electronica might be a bt much though if it's just Robertson type stuff you're after.

    You could try some of these for starters, nice and chilled and with vocals on some - this is a great album, as is anything really by the Thievery Corporation.

    Thievery Corporation - The Richest Man In Babylon

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZKUTW5cucQ


    The Cinematic Orchestra are well worth checking out too, love this track...

    The Cinematic Orchestra - To Build a Home

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhHKfSFGdUI


    Another nice one from Kid Loco, a little more upbeat but a nice all round album.

    Kid Loco - Love Me Sweet

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LK4bAsB1Og


    Then if you fancy delving into something a little bit different but still not too dark, this is a very nice 32 minutes of ambient music -

    Woob - On Earth

    Alright I've been having a laid back sunday morning and to break the OP away from RTÉ Chill, some more old faves of mine to go on...

    808 State - Lift (ex-cel mix)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7h5r3O7v8g


    That whole album is worth sourcing, just to hear this track in uncompressed glory. Also some good guests on it (Bernard Sumner, Bjork). A lot of it not so chilled out though.

    Another 808 from a differenet album:

    808 State - Azura
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Mki5on5aw8


    Again album is worth finding and is a lot more chilled out than the above and again has some interesting guests. The voclaist on this track is the singer from Lamb, Richard Ashcroft makes an appearance, but the brass/woodwind playing is the true star...

    No chillout is complete without the Orb:

    The Orb - Brainstorming
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkaQzTcwEas


    Think that's bjork on that too (?). Cydonia isn't one of their better albums IMO, but basically they can do no wrong. Recent Dave Gilmour collaboration been on my walkman the last few days.

    Another Orb favourite:

    The Orb - Star 6 7 8 9 (phase II)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxao9Iabt9M


    The song that got me into them back in my schooldays...b side to one of their attempts at chart entry. Boom bass and those haunting jingly chords, progressive beats. One of my desert island discs. Following any of those hotlinks on the yt page will open another world of Orb goodness.

    FSOL

    Her Face Forms in Summertime
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecE0SCoZhEU


    Hit and miss when it comes to chillout...some of their stuff can be heavy but this track (and most others on the dead cities album) are sheer bliss.
    Some of their videos, when you can find them are groundbreaking (even now) considering they were working with such limited tech.

    Cascade ptI
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvQdjCtlW2E


    Something earlier from them...you can hear the influence of Papua New Guinea in here but it's not as driving... one of their better ones for me, panpipes, oriental stuff, exotic birds...all in there.


    Some other random faves:

    Lux - 100 Billion Stars
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m--pmX7Fl90


    Aphex Twin - Xtal
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0q1gCsZykg


    Dave Angel - Life's Little Pleasures
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IL-mRrviIq8


    Spookily that Dave Angel track uploaded by one scubadevils...I assume as above? :)
    Feckin' love this track but only have it on tape (from Trance Europe Express 2), must find a CD on ebay.

    No chiilout complete without Tangerine Dream either:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5aRgOk_dnU


    Risky Business is a great movie too if you've not seen it...

    Okay I'll stop now.

    Nice selection Wertz, definitely taking a few steps away alright from the realms of RTE Chill! Yeah I stuck up that 'Life's Little Pleasures' on YT, the first 2 Trance Europe Express hold very special memories for me of the early 90s. Hard to fault The Orb in anyway alright but they did hit a bit of blip for a while, came back nicely though with some of their more recent releases such as Baghdad Batteries etc.

    Yeah Dead Cities is an amazing album but not one I'd stick in a chilled category either, far too many dark moments! I think 'Lifeforms' would be the best from a more ambient perspective but also not completely chilled either. Highly recommend their 'Environments' series, 3 in total and all amazing. I'm a massive FSOL fan though and worship everything they've done.

    The Future Sound Of London - Nearly Home

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEG5mbhvKlI


    The KLF did a chill album called 'Chill Out' which is another very nice and relatively accessible listen. Someone has actually stuck up the full thing on YT...

    The KLF - Chill Out

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5S_lktstwrs


    If you really want to zone out completely to very relaxing ambient music, something like this will do the trick - again this upload to YT is the full album...

    Pete Namlook & Tetsu Inoue - Shades of Orion

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkONXhPyMGE


    Finally for now this is taken from an all time favourite electronic album called 'Texturology' by Beaumont Hannant...

    Beaumont Hannant - Mind Colours

    This is another very ambient album by Harold Budd & Brian Eno - a favourite of mine for nodding off to sleep. The album its from is called 'The Pearl' and its from 1984. If you like this there is a whole load of others from the likes of Eno, Budd and various others from that time.
