Chill Out is not entirely beatless. Beats weave in and out in some = parts.=20 I agree it's a great album, one of the best ambient albums. But also = over-rated in these circles. And repetitive (how many times do we have = to hear a train passing?). In fact, I sometimes wonder if it's a parody = (affectionately, perhaps) of ambient music with its lambs and trains and = Elvis... I wouldn't put it past the KLF. THE ambient album that's a must is Biosphere's Substrata. Beautiful. = Stretches your concept of time, it's excellent musical air conditioning = and it's truly beatless. my opinion, of course. On another subject, anyone pick up the Depeche Mode tribute album? I was = repulsed at first, but some of it, SOME, is starting to grow on me. = (Still feels like sacrilage to me), though. I like the Pumpkins' mellow = Never Let me Down..., Meat Beat's Everything Counts and Self's Shame. = Could have done without the Deftones, Failure and Apollo Four Fourty. = Oh, and Rammstein! The album's in HDCD (high definition compatible digital) Any idea what = this is, exactly?
