Albums I enjoy chilling out to:

Zero 7 - Simple Things
Aim - Cold Water Music
Aim - Hinterland
Fat Jon as Maurice Galactica - humanoid erotica
Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon

Also check out the "Another Late Night" series of albums. Loads of downtemp stuff, the title of the series suggests what it's for :D

I can reccomend that one to, really like their early stuff.

Got their latest album and it all sounded "forced" formuated chill music. . . . . . not groovy

Yeah avoid the latest one! The one before it Car Boot Soul is very nice too though

For a change of pace, Minnie Rippertons Come Into My Garden is very laidback

Twilight Singers- Twilight- it's actually Fila Brazilia and Greg Dulli's band but very dope

Any MAssive Attack but if you like darker stuff get Mezzanine; avoid 100th Window it's terrible.

The new Blockhead is dope.

Some of you guys are listing jazz albums and other types of music. I think what Lacat is asking for as well as me is electronica down tempo.

Amon Tobin-Brickolage

for lower BPM drum n bass i would check for Luke Vibert, he records under Plug, WagonChrist and his own name. guys hit or miss but his A stuff is good

Animals on Wheels were pretty cool
