Various Artists - Chillout: 100 Original Hits (2015)

Relaxation albums are designed to help the listener relax through listening to the gentle music. It shares the basic structure and sound of many contemporary instrumental records. The difference is the intent and marketing -- while other contemporary instrumental albums may help the listener relax, relaxation albums are specifically designed to do so. Ambient music evolved from the experimental electronic music of '70s synth-based artists like Brian Eno and Kraftwerk, and the trance-like techno dance music of the '80s. Ambient is a spacious, electronic music that is concerned with sonic texture, not songwriting or composing.
