Heaps of irony in stuff like Chill Out. The seeming absence of irony in a lot of more rave-associated stuff in the early 90s was probably #drugs.

insofar as it's a nostalgia thing i think it's nostalgia leaning towards the original stuff, windham hill via ambient etc, rather than towards the 90s use.

yes the latest wave is a love letter back to the original sources. iasos, laraaji. when I hear things like that new oneohtrix, it sounds like an early 80's mashup of hearts of space with 'zoolook' and 'deep breakfast'.
1980 track from kevin braheny, though this youtube rip is sourced from an early 90's hearts of space compilation hilariously packaged / marketed towards the post-'chill out' audience

No doubt, but I don't think Chill Out really fits what I'm talking about here, KLF were never really part of this "scene". And I don't think the early 90s records of artists like Banco de Gaia or Exquisite Corpse or Psychick Warriors of Gaia or Cosmic Baby were meant to be ironic, or at least I don't see any irony either in the presentation or the music itself. I mean, the inner sleeve of Exquisite Corpse's Inner Light quotes that famous (though apocryphal, but I doubt EC knew that) speech by Chief Seattle in its entirety, and the sleeve for Banco de Gaia's Last Train to Llhasa has some political commentary on China's suppression of Tibet. I think most of those 1990s producers were quite sincere (if sometimes misguided) in using these signifiers.

eleven months pass...
seems like this thread is worth reviving... all this stuff seems vaguely balearic but it's probably not a bad idea to post the new mood hut / yoga house / young marco / etc jams here
