I'm getting into downtempo these days, cause I need something relaxing that isn't alcohol-based. There's some great Caia and Thievery Corporatin at EMusic - what else should I check out? Bear in mind I am almost completely ignorant of the genre so please state the obvious if necessary. |

What is downtempo anyway? Does the name speak for itself? According to allmusic.com, key artists include: Suns of Arqa, Two Lone Swordsman and Waldeck, but I suppose you checked there already? Man this avatar is starting to annoy me. |

It's kinda the bastard child of lounge, funk, worldbeat and triphop, shaken not stirred and poured over crushed ice at sunrise or sunset. Also I think there are blowjobs involved. |

Check out Dntel Cosy downtempo. |

Dntel is nice, although I'm not sure I'd call it downtempo check out these guys: |

i'd recommend Throbbing Pouch by Wagon Christ a very lovely and smooth album |
||||||||
|
|

i should also mention bent as they live near me and their music is quite good also. and their new single samples david essex :) |

William Caslon Experience is the kind of thing I'm looking for - lush and rhythmic, with nothing edgy or annoying. Just listening to Valis and The Real Funicello. Did they sample Philip K. Dick saying "Valis"? I don't know what he sounds like. |
||||||||

|

well, for relaxing music you MUST listen to Fast Asleep by Funki Porcini... it's seriously one of the most relaxing albums I've ever heard I think... just saps all the tension and stress away from me! |
||||||||
|
|

I think they are named after a gourmet mushroom, funghi porcini. I saw it dried for sale in little cellophane packages. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Fila Brazilia and that sounds promising. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I will check out this "Bent" even though they sample someone whose name I know not. David Essex?? :: does a google :: Hm, looks like an old fart. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
..promising what? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...uhhhh, good beats and smooth groove? I mean judging from the name. Sounds like a groovy lounge with exotic drinks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i have a slow track, pretty smooth. not really downtempo, but a very chill track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
......you're right... they really sounds like this [sometimes]..... |
||||||||

I like how that breaks down at the end. The title and the "let me walk the moon in peace" title make me think of Billy from Family Circus and how Bil Keane would draw his crazy dotted line path home from... the astro-crater! |

thanks fleetmouse! glad you enjoyed it. i actually got the title from a book my friend had - a really old children's book, from like the 50's, called Billy Meets A Spaceman. It had a five year old kid meet and befriend a spaceman. weird shit. Family Circus was the bizzomb, yo! Used to read it all the time back when i was into the funnies. |

I'm not sure who they sampled, but I'm glad you like it. Get 'Delay Pigs' and 'More Close than Opran EP'. I've heard all the albums on that site (in their entirety - not just samples) and those two albums are the best. Support teh hippies so they can keep making music! |

Did you ever see Dysfunctional Family Circus? It was like a game where they'd post a cartoon minus the caption and everyone would try to come up with the sickest funniest lines for it and the best ones would get posted. Unfortunately it got shut down when Bil Keane wrote a letter to the webmaster. :: googles :: Oh goody there's still an |

HAHAHA!! Yeah that's pretty fucking hysterical. It's such a simple idea that it's genius! |

..you may also check any artist from elektrolux label [or it's sublabel mikrolux] (fresh moods, the sushi club, unn, naoki kenji.....)....very interesting and relaxing...... |

bent makes you feel like your standing on a desert island with a martini in one hand and a big fat cigar in the other |

That is EXACTLY what I'm after. :-) |
