Thread: Chillout music for the season

Tweet

If you've not heard it before, check out: 'Heavy on My Mind' -- Back Door Slam

So how chill are you thinking? Are you thinking standard downtempo chillout music (beats, but nothing too heavy, lyrics but not always) or ambient sounds (not sound effects, but fewer beats if any)?

Hey Freakengine,

A chill type album I favor in the fall is "Bande a Part" by Nouvelle Vague. The band performs a mix of covers and original music in a bossa nova-ish style. In my opinion the three best songs (all covers) from Bande a Part are 1) Killing Moon-Echo and the Bunnyman cover, 2) Bela Lugosi's Dead-Bauhaus cover, 3)Fade to Grey-Visage cover).

Mumford & Sons! Great music, makes you think your in a local pub watching these guys on a poorly light stage while your drinking a pint! They are great!

Here's a mix I made about 10 years ago ... more ambient than chill, so maybe not what you had in mind, but lemme know what you think.
Some old Ambient Halloween Mix

Freaky... very freaky! I can imagine using this in a freaked out room display; perhaps a skeleton "Mom" holding one of the new fetus skeletons... LOVE IT!

this has nothing to do with halloween music, but check out the sheepdogs! they are reminiscent of classic rock music...LOVE it very chill

Oh! Yes definitely, and I agree I feel the same way. Here's what I usually have on my Halloween "decorating" playlist - it's a mix of industrial Halloween songs, as well as some more rocky songs that just have a dark, slightly Halloweenie vibe, but aren't in the traditional Halloween genre:

--CC Adcock - Bleed 2 Feed
--New Skin - New Skin
--Collide - Haunted When the Minutes Drag (Alleged Remix)
--Garbage - #1 Crush
--Greenskeepers - Vampire
--Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams
--Vitalic - Poison Lips
--The Marketts - Out of Limits
--Peaches - Operate
--Eels - Fresh Blood (one of my absolute FAVS)
--Gnarls Barkley - The Boogie Monster
--Orgy - Blue Monday
--Front Line Assembly - Predator [Collide Remix]
--Marilyn Manson - Resident Evil Theme
--Tre Lux - Halloween

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone. There are some real gems in there. For some reason the forum stopped sending me notifications of responses so I had some catching up to do! Only one week left!!!
