Smokers Delight

Well, it does what it says on the tin: if I was smoking a cigarette and lounging on a balcony, I think this would be quite the pleasant experience. Unfortunately I listened to this in the middle of the hellish experience that is public transport, so effects may vary.

Boring experience. This isn't my smoking music...

I love the innovation...

Pretty vibey

The only time and place for this was 1995, on a Walkman, as you wandered grimy city streets in a stoned fug.

This has the same problem every electronic kind of music has in that it gets so repetitive without going anywhere. Nothing seemed to build up to anything which is just annoying to me. 1.5/5

Really excellent trip hop. Groovy mid-tempo loops with some nice stylistic diversity thrown in - dub, funk, rock, this has a lot of little surprises. Frequently background music at work.

Had never heard of this group (turns out they are a person) and from the name for some reason expected metal. What a pleasant surprise!
Really chill enjoyable listen, even if he sometimes stays on a riff for longer than I am interested.
I think I’m learning from this project that I really like a genre called trip hop.

Trip-Hop. Desconocía este álbum y autor. En la wiki la entrada es la típica de un disco cuyo mayor mérito es estar en esta lista. A pesar de todo eso el disco empieza bien y no está mal. Música de un tiempo que ya pasó.

Hieman pitkähkö platta, mut nautin kyllä tunnelmoinnista. 3.5/5

Another being on hold simulator! Instrumental electronic neo-soul with a vague funky hip hop feel that's the official soundtrack of every douchey bar that calls itself a lounge. It's relaxing and unobtrusive but impossible to mask the scent of hookah and despair on this album. Thus is a great example of a genre (Gen x muzak) worth including in a survey of pop, but it's boring to start with and way too long.

There really isn't much to say, because there isn't much going on. I don't smoke weed because I'm a loser, but I can't imagine someone high would choose this over hundreds of other chill-out albums to vibe and relax to. Nothing is annoying, nothing is catchy, nothing is ear-catching. It just persists in the background. Sometimes you question if a new song has started, sometimes three songs go by and you don't bat an eye. It just, exists. Exists for over an hour, that is. Kind of inexcusable for what's presented, but I suppose you may need background noise for a while if you're gonna get high. Do I sound like I know what I'm talking about? Probably not, but this album bores me to tears sober, and I can't imagine that shifts to masterpiece quality stoned. Not awful, just prepare for wishing you were listening to a different album.

There's nothing inherently bad about this, but dear God is it fucking boring. This may have more historical significance than a lo-fi hip-hop Spotify playlist, but it sure as hell doesn't have any more or less quality than one. In fact, it may have less diversity. Again, I ask: why did I *have* to hear this before I died?

1.5/5

Several thoughts on this one. 1. Never heard of it before. 2. I quickly judged the album cover and album name and expected that I was in for some bad reggae, like early stuff by the Police. 3. It's not even close to reggae. As another reviewer noted, it sounds like video game loading music. 4. This has no business anywhere near the 1001 best list. There are many far better albums even in this genre. 5. Still, it's ok as background music if you need a change, I guess. There are far worse albums on this 1001 list.

One of the most boring listens I've had so far. This album goes nowhere. Some of the grooves are nice, but then they drag on for long and lose any of the impact they really had. Elevator music for stoners.

It’s fine I guess. 2.93 per track.

Very backround-y. It was enjoyable but never really stuck out to me. Worked well as a backing soundtrack to work though.

This is a super chill record but it all blends together. Maybe that's the point. It's not bad but it doesn't really hold your attention at all. It's not something you would sit down and listen to intently, more soemthing you would put on in the background. Like this is what would be playing in the waiting room at a wellness spa in Santa Fe that has lots of incense and natural soaps for sale.

nice

Very chill album that straddles the gap between trip hop, electronica, and lofi. I LOVED the follow up album ("Carboot Soul") but never really gave. this one a listen, but I'm glad I had the opportunity to tonight, it was a good soundtrack to my mundane tasks, enough to make me stop and bob my head now and then.

Good listening on headphones while you're laying back in the cut.
