Originally released in 2001 to popular success, 'Classical Chillout' was as well-known for its iconic cover artwork as it was for its innovative selection of music. A skilful blend of traditional classical pieces - many known from film and television - programmed alongside genre-defying `modern classics' - from movie themes, club classics to modern minimalism (more recently defined as `neoclassical'). Fast-forward 18 years and Classical Chillout has been given a 2019 makeover - many of the great tracks you know and love from the original album alongside fresh new sounds in keeping with the original album concept. Available for the first time on vinyl, 'Classical Chillout' is back!
