Personnel: Sarah McLachlan, Beth Orton (vocals). Arranger: Sade. Consider THE CLASSIC CHILLOUT ALBUM part of the mainstreaming of UK rave culture. Originating out of late-night sessions of dancers relaxing to ambient beats as an antidote to an evening's worth of hard-hitting techno and hallucinogens, the chillout movement hit the mainstream in the guise of mood music for the stressed. Building on the lead of Sony Music UK, whose two volumes of this series have been enthusiastically received, Epic Records delivered this collection of famous names to an American public sorely in need of soothing. At the crossroads of this mellow movement you'll find members of the electronica community (Moby, Massive Attack), New Age icons (Tangerine Dream, Andreas Vollenweider), alt-rock chanteuses (Sarah McLachlan, Dido) and nouveau-soul stalwarts (Maxwell, Sade, Jill Scott). The familiarity curve increases with the inclusion of songs best known from their appearance in ads for Ford Motors (Charlotte Church's "Just Wave Hello [Ford Global Anthem]") and Volkswagen (Master Cylinder's "Jung At Heart"). Lush and hypnotic in most places, there are enough interesting grooves and rhythms on THE CLASSIC CHILLOUT ALBUM to keep it from becoming just another collection of drippy elevator music.
