History of Chillout

chill
"Moments In Love" is a wonderful aural history of chillout and ambient music, hosted by Chris Coco. The hour-long BBC Radio 2 documentary covers a tremendous amount of material, from Erik Satie to Brian Eno to Air.

"Chillout is a state of mind. It's making space in your head to enjoy the setting and the sounds. It's a long drink on a long sunny day. It's a moment taken to appreciate the beauty of the simplest things. And it's even better with a decent soundtrack."

The link on the "Moments In Love" page to the archived program is incorrect, but here's the correct one. Link (Thanks, Morris!)
