I loved this when it was released and it was something new to me with the most incredible feeling of being transported away from the rave scene. Upon listening to it again fully now in 2013 I realise just how well it has aged, an engaging beautiful soundtrack with just enough of the KLF singles spliced into it to elevate them from the media stereotype of pranksters to genuine musical force. A stunning album.

Dr. Alex Paterson of The Orb was doing DJ'ing on this recording but wasn't credited.

An absolute masterpiece. Anyone with the tiniest, most fleeting interest in Electronica should own this album..

Formed by Scottish situationist Jimmy Cauty & former Echo And The Bunnymen manager Bill Drummond,back in the day,they recorded this masterpiece of soft-focus ambience.Behind a cover depicting a flock of sheep grazing in a field was a trippy mix of pastoral sounds,Elvis samples,african throat singers,preachers and,of course,bleating sheep.Inspired by the space cadet noodlings of Pink Floyd but filtered through post-1988 technological advances,'Chill Out'-and its semi-successor,the'Space'album-is still the ultimate comedown album.

this could be my favorite ambient album. so many memories; so many saturday and sunday mornings. and yet it's not quite ambient; not background music. very engaging. more of a journey, and yet never too intense; just chill. the ULTIMATE soundtrack to put on when you get home from a late night out; for the early dawn.

This really is something a bit different -- more like a sound collage -- drifting through pastoral settings (with the ghosted voice of Elvis hovering over steel guitar). One of the better albums of this genre -- relaxing and dreamy. It reminds me somewhat of Thomas Koner's work, yet more upbeat. A very good late night album.

If you've heard other KLF records and they weren't your cup of tea please don't dismiss this one. It will really suprise you. A beautiful piece of work.

I own a white label of this record that has some Cheech & Chong samples at the end, with weird sounds in the background. Basically, the album ends, and then the spot from Up In Smoke where Chong gives Cheech acid appears.
