Sorry for the exaggerated bass response, i recorded it when i was 12:) |

| Absolutely hate Cream. Worst tune ever made in that era, below sandstorm even. |

If liking that guff is the requirement for having a soul, then I'll gladly be without one.
The chillout stuff is all right, though. |

There's no accounting for taste. Cream indeed isn't there best track imo. |

Cream was never my favourite either, but it was a big track.
Their chillout stuff did really well though. If you go on to any of the popular streaming services such as pandora and spotify looking for chillout, B&J chill tunes are splattered throughout. Given that physical and download sales are much stronger in those categories, not to mention licensing, I imagine they made a fortune off those. |

| I'd also like to state that I am not - nor have I ever been - around them. |

WHAT?? there's money to be made in chillout?
I always thought Ambient and Chillout don't generate much revenue. |

As always it'll depend on what exactly you consider to be "ambient" and "chillout", but while I'm sure dark ambient off Cryo Chamber isn't going to pay for that Merc, the bazillion "chillout" albums and VAs I'm sure have generated heaps of money for certain artists and labels alike. Do we still use the term "lounge" music?
Have you seen news reports - not too long ago I think - about ridiculous numbers of plays for apparently loads of "fake" tracks on "ambient" and "chillout" and pianomusic playlists on Spotify? I'm not entirely sure how all that is supposed to have worked, but I think generally speaking people are into that kinda music..
edit: as far as I'm concerned the titles for some of b&j's chillout albums could hardly be more typical .. "Relax (volume xx)", "Relax Jazzed".. |

Yeah, if you manage to make a good chillout track, you can make a fortune.
One of my tutors back in school was Wubble-U (had a top 10 hit in the UK) and tech house outfit Get ed who were also pretty successful.
One time he was working on shared studio facility and he was messing about with a chillout track in 3/3 time. Some guy who rented another studio he barely knew stopped by to say hello and asked him what he was working on.
That track was Crazy Ivan and the random guy signed it to a compilation called Cafe Del Mar.
He said that one chillout track made him more money that everything he'd done the 20 years in the industry prior put together.
He then basically switched to making chillout/lounge music for money and dance for hobby. |
