Should I now dump my own music in the bin? I'd love your opinion. Website's in BETA, there's only a few tracks on the page, that's all. @alexhudish on Twitter I’ve been told my tracks remind some people of Air and Royksopp and Zero 7.

They play it in hospital delivery rooms. The <i>Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks</i> record is pretty damn great. Brian Eno’s ambient work is so chill-out it’s anesthesia.

Thanks guys. Hmm, short of apologising for my ignorance and going off to listen to some things, I am not sure what I can add here. Thanks guys.

Check out Another Green World or Music for Airports. Me thinks Zero 7 are unfairly maligned... No-one’s yet mentioned Brian Eno, who pretty much pioneered the genre.

Is Royksopp chillout then? I always liked them. A lot of chillout and ambient music always seemed pointless to me, like an unfinished work.

but as an avid listener of electronic music, i feel it not really important to discuss ‘chillout’ music

the worst kind of commodity music

it gives a bad name to electronic music

people really should look further…

look to the labels like Type records or Hapna

there really is amazingly beautiful minimal electonica or whatever you want to call it

with absolutely no connection to the coffee table nonsense sold in the big shops…

sorry rant
