DShen This was a surprise find. The amazing amazon.com recommender found it for me and I was totally impressed. A little bit faster tempo than true laid back music, but not fast enough to get your heart rate too high for relaxing. A bit house, and made for swaying to a comfortable beat while reading a book. Buy both volumes!

But over the years, I have discovered their CD collections which are quite good. I always drop by the Brookstone at LAX since I pass through that airport every week. The latest CDs I have found which are really great are:

1. Rio Lounge - Chillout in Brazil - Brazillian/Latin chill music
2. Zen Grooves - Chill music with an Asian flavor; very nice!
3. Mingle, Chillout versions of Classic Standards - new twists on oldies
4. Chillout 2: Laid Back Grooves for Urban Lifestyles - A great follow on to the first collection, which is also very good.

Definitely check out the CD display if you get to a Brookstone at your local airport or mall.

DShen TV star gone music star - Renee Olstead has an incredible voice and style to match. I love her renditions of great oldies, and the duet on "Breaking Up is Hard to Do" brings up funny memories of Neil Sadaka, but I think I like her version better. She is among my favorites in modern female vocalists.

House music from a San Francisco hotspot called Matrix-Fillmore, apparently known now for its famous fireplace lounge, great local music talent, and a hangout for the best DJs in San Fran. Another great one from Om Records. Buy it...
