Now lie down and stare at the ceiling and let this one wash over you. The KLF were religiously chilling way before any of these so-called ‘chill wave’ pussies had fingered their first keytar. If you approach Chill Out expecting memorable choruses, lyrics, or even (gasp) ‘songs’, you’ll be shocked and maybe appalled, but what you’ll get is a beautiful in-between space, pitched halfway from dreams to reality, like a series of melted memories drifting past the moving train window. This is the soundtrack to the never-ending road trip of your dreams that you can never take. Pedal steel, warbling trips across the AM dial, Justified & Ancient, new age electronics, Elvis, shaman and sheep. It’s all here, all aboard.
