    Godspeed You! Black Emperor (admittedly not typical chill-out. Passages of quiet strings punctuated by raging distortion)

    Depends...but if I want some background music whilst reading, I usually go with a little Six Parts Seven. I like something purely instrumental.

    I like John Metcalfe. I can easily listen to his track Blue Ruby, on a loop, for hours.

    Not ALL Coltrane surely? :p

    I can only think of a handful of his albums that I could "chill out" to. Ballads would be great for that though.

    Giant Steps. Music can still be loud and frantic, yet chill me out :)
