The KLF - Chill Out

As if I haven't given enough love to the KLF already, here is Chill Out. As far as sampling goes, this album, while far simpler, has a similar effect to that of Paul's Boutique, Since I Left You and Endtroducing. The samples add to the mood rather than create it. The steel guitar and ambient sounds add to the majestic vibe and make the album feel like a place rather than a collection of songs. In fact, the original UK pressings of the album were one-track releases making it impossible to skip to later parts of the album. The US release, which is the source of this rip, has multiple tracks, but it's not like you're gonna want to skip through this anyway.

There is so much to say about this album that has already been said, and there is little more I can contribute to it, so here is a link to the wikipedia reference. Yeah, that probably seems lazy, but why mess with perfection?

PS-I had planned to post this eventually, but today I got an e-mail from someone I have great respect for. This person said I should post Space, so I figured I would do a quick update and give you the link. This goes well alongside Chill Out, and if you enjoy that you will most likely enjoy this.
