Day 35: Chill

According to Sirius: Take a break in the lounge and wind down with ambient, electronica and downtempo rock in a quiet groove. It's modern mood music that takes the edge off the day.

My Experience: There aren'ta whole lot of channels in the "electronic/dance" category of Sirius, so I knew this one was coming. Some pretty laid back music here...Sirius doesn't use the word "trance," but that's how I'd describe it to someone. Picture some of the slower Moby stuff, or Enigma if that's more your speed.

A Time and Place for Everything: Like some of the other channels in this genre, it's not necessarily stuff you want to be listening to in the car, though. While music from The Coffeehouse was a great way to start the day on your way to work, the music of Chill might be more appropriate for a weekend morning, as you lay in bed, slowly adjusting to the day.

Samply Playlist:

• Bitter:Sweet, Dirty Laundry (Tony Middleton Amba Remix)
  
• Charlotte Gainsbourg, AF607105
  
• Moby, Novio
  
• Leftfiend, Melt
  
• The Chemical Brothers, Seal
  
• Incognito, Get Into My Groove (Jazzanova Mix)
  

Verdict: I was torn on this one. On the one hand, this is music I often like...have always been a fan of the aforementioned Enigma. On the other hand, it isn't necessarily appropriate for driving. That having been said, I ended up bookmarking this...because you never know when Return to Innocence might pop up on the dial.
