A nice glass of port, a roaring fire (in the firplace), and Minor Threat on the turntable makes for the perfect romantic evening!! ;)

Music one may hear in a lounge. Not a 'bar' as such or a 'kids' nightclub. Relaxing music.

My posting of Minor Threat was. . .sarcastic.

Ah you mean wine bar music? Sade (http://www.last.fm/music/Sade?q=sade) will hate me for classing her music as wine-bar but she is one of my favourite singers. ;)

I think is Sade qualifies.

[lepz]

I think is Sade qualifies.

Yippeeeeeeeee I get it now ;) and if you happen to be in a lounge in Malaysia it will most probably be Sheila Majid (http://www.last.fm/music/Sheila+Majid) :)

[patrick295767]

I prefer Gothic music in my lounge ! [-o<

[xmastree]

Pretty much any of the Café del Mar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caf%C3%A9_del_Mar) albums, or for really relaxing stuff, try Ambient Nights (http://www.ambient-nights.org/music.php) (free download.)

[PartisanEntity]

Many of the Buddha Bar compilations are not bad, I also like FutureLounge.

As xmastree pointed out Café del Mar is pretty good. Oh and Saint Germain compilations are good too.

[lepz]

Some people say I'm a man of few words, but the fact is that most people talk too much without actually saying anything.

I would hardly call 1600+ posts as the shy and retiring type :lolflag:

Bloody hell... I'll bet that would be double if Cafe posts counted.

Double? and the rest :lolflag:

[slimdog360]

coldplay?

[Luke Davis]

Anything from St Germain anyone? (I like.)

[machoo02]

Anything covered by Richard Cheese (http://www.richardcheese.com/)

[tbroderick]

Sade is nowhere near lounge music.

For lounge albums, the exotica albums of Martin Deny especially Forbidden Island, anything by Esquivel like Music from a Sparkling Planet, the works of Les Baxter, and Marty Gold's Moog Plays the Beatles.

I would also the add the orchestral pop stylings of Liberace and Percy Faith.

Finally, their was a rebirth of lounge led by the Cocktails (Archer Prewitt of Sea and Cake fame), Love Jones, and Combustible Edison.

[fuscia]

pizzicato five is the only band i would listen to in one clump. i generally prefer lounge streams.

[Ripfox]

I was waiting for someone to mention Richard Cheese...absolutely brilliant. Lounge Against The Machine!

[junior aspirin]

My Bloody Valentine (http://www.last.fm/music/My+Bloody+Valentine)
Ulrich Schnauss (http://www.last.fm/music/Ulrich+Schnauss?q=ulrich+schnauss)

i would class as lounge.

his stuff is hilarious (good singer, too), but i don't think i could take a steady diet of him.

[machoo02]

My Bloody Valentine (http://www.last.fm/music/My+Bloody+Valentine)

Ummm...what? Methinks you need to learn the difference between lounge music (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lounge_music) and shoegaze (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoegazer_music). MBV is a classic shoegaze band.

[machoo02]

Yeah...too bad he's going out on his final tour.

[lepz]

Sade is nowhere near lounge music.

I'm so pleased about that.

[mips]

I need to try some of this out.

[Arathorn]

Genres are off course nonsense, since only a few records can really be classified into one of the acknowledged genres. IMO there's only good and bad music.
I understand what you mean though, so these are among my favourite records for relaxing:
Saint Germain (anything, but especially his first, From Detroit to Saint Germain)
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing
Luke Vibert - Yoseph

[Roger_Melly]

The term Lounge Music and the louche sound of The James Taylor Quartet go together like a silk smoking jacket and a martini.

I don't necessarily agree with you here. Genres are a useful concept: they allow you to get an idea about the sound/thematic elements of a particular song/band. Every record can be classified into one genre or another, but many albums/bands can also be classified into multiple genres.



Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing


Two very good choices indeed....although I like Aphex Twin's "Selected Ambient Works Vol. 2" better than Vol. 1.
