I have to say, Chill Out is probably my favourite music genre. Any one listen to it ? Cafe Del Mar make some of the best compilations. Maybe even Massive Attack could be put into this category ?
'Chill Out' by the KLF is still pretty nice to dig out once in a while! Also 'The Ambient Collection' by the Art Of Noise is worth a good listen despite that thing they did with Tom Jones
cream - future chill and chilled euphoria are excellent. also got quite a few Cafe del Mar albums as well. like to listen to chill out at night when tryin to relax.

^ still going, loud and clear: http://www.warprecords.com/ i definately count the two zero7 albums as top chill zone music too. Banco de Gaia is a top chill guy too
I've got both Robert Miles albums and also some massive attack! They do it for me, and also sound fab for testing hi-fi's with
massive attack are awesome some well laid back music and vocals .. whilst working in france years back i picked up a copy pf MASSIVE ATTACK v's The Professor !! cant find it anywhere now , it was the only thing that kept me going whilst working with the Fro'* but they did one day put a tape on telling me in broken english " the music from people will be big " that group later became daft punk !!
Try: Portishead - Dummy, a classic moody chilled album, and one I go for if I can't quite think of what to listen to.
its funny massive attack are suddenly popular and mentioned alot, hmm..........wonder it if its anything with the release of their greatest hits few weeks back.........
