Chill Out vs Selected Ambient Works 1

Sorry for the retarded comparison.

I just wanted to know which you think is the better legendary chillout album.

Well?

SAW for me. SAW 2 is even better though.

The only track that really touches me on SAW is Xtal. The rest feels a bit like... err... filler?

chill out is a legendary chill out album. saw is not. they aren't the same kind of music.

'Filler'
What do you mean by filler really? Is it like a track that is so pointless that it only works as a track to... fill out?

I mean "track that's only there to make it a full-length album".

Assuming Full Length is what it sounds to be, I was pretty much right then?

Yes.

Let's say artist has 5 tracks, of, say 45 minutes total.

He needs the album to be 50 minutes.

So he makes a shitty generic track to add 5 minutes.

I see. Thanks!

We should make a 'term'-thread to make a list of terms/words that is associated with EDM in general, for all the newbies, like me.

IMO there are much better chillout albums than either of these, such as Lifeforms, Music Has The Right To Children, 76.14, Music For Airports, A Strangely Isolated Place, The Space Between Us and Airdrawndagger.

Posted by DJ Cinos on Mar-05-2006 13:40:

I agree on Lifeforms...

But mentioning Lifeforms in the same sentence as the merely decent Airdrawndagger?

The Orb's Adventures Beyond Ultraworld.

SAW 85-92, despite the name, really isn't ambient at all. It is very good, but not "chill out" by most definitions. SAW II is certainly ambient and is extremely good. I would go for that one.
