[Special Relax Edition] Need Sleep


Sometimes you need to relax a bit, you know, quit listening to Justice for an hour or two... and i didn't wanted to post the typical loungy chillout, or the usual trip-hop or the typical Starbucks/The OC indie,
so here is what helps me chill out right now :



Windmill - Tokyo Moon - I really enjoy that song, there is a real vibe comming out of this song. Plus i like his voice, really special, very weird, but yet it goes with the overall vibe. Anyways, i really feel pumped up after listening to this song, like a big icy gust of wind in your face. Great stuff.


Marissa Nadler - Diamond Heart - Really cool song, kinda cute, perfect for a stressed person. Marissa Nadler as a great voice.


Julie Doiron - I Left Town - Acoustic guitar + Acadian woman = trucker stop show ? well not in that case, Julie Doiron plays in the same league as Marissa Nadler ( I personnally prefere marissa though)


Various - Hater - Well... the good ol' trip hop fans will be pleased with that song. Mellow black singer voice singing over a light but effecient beat made of claps, bass and a beeper. Kinda gives a blues/soul feeling to it. Really nice work


Gruff Rhys - Candylion - Superfurry Animals singer, Gruff Rhys has made an quite suprisingly good LP called Candylion, i enjoyed the whole CD. This song is the most relax song on the album. I like the vibe.


Faithless (feat. Cat Power) - A Kind Of Peace - Beautiful song, a dreamy guitar riff over a simple minimalist beat, the whole thing all tied together by the wonderfull voice of Cat Power. This is one of my fav of the list.


Fairmont - Pavement - Fairmont is a dude signed under Bpitch Control, his music his like..... well.... imagine Das Glow doing more relaxed things, that would be Fairmont. It's not really tech-house, it's not really chillout, it's not really electro, but it really is nice as fuck ! I really love that song, i love the synth, i love the glitches, i love how the whole thing is bundled altogether.

Feist - Mushaboom (Postal Service Remix) - This is the most violent song of the list. This song goes at a hight beat per minute rate, so its quite a fast song for a "relaxed" song. It's the Perfect song to transfer to harder musique to a chillout playlist though. On a striclty objective point of view it really is an awsome remix, very well done.
