 Notes  
     Out of the Los Angeles underground was Chill, another one of those
     bands that Nelson George might have said was trying a little too
     hard to be both Prince and Morris Day at the same time, if only in
     their overall sound. However Chill had a rather interesting couple
     of aces up its sleeve that set them aside from the rest of the pack:
     lead singer Devrik Williams, whose clear, ready-for-prime-time
     vocals may not have grabbed your ears at first listen, but in
     hindsight, sound a whole lot better than those who tried too hard to
     sound like the Purple Midget and his friends, and a certain keyboard
     player named Chuckii Booker, whose stamp is all over this album.
     Chill first burst on the scene in 1985 with a series of releases on
     L.A. imprints Jam Power, Street, and (the humorously named) KMA
     Records, including songs like "Lady Seduction", "Think About It",
     and finally "911" (which even had a video, strangely enough - look
     for it on Youtube!). By 1986, Chill had finally built an album
     largely of stomping Time-style funk numbers around their initial
     offerings; "Chill Out" was pressed and distributed by Macola, a
     local outfit who would put out the records, so as long as you had
     master tapes and a fee to spare.
     The result is a largely enjoyable, high quality collection of songs
     from a band that had a lot to prove. Of particular note is "Never
     Walk Another Day Without You", which has aged pretty well since its
     release. "Lady Seduction" sounds a lot like what Chuckii would do as
     a solo artist (even though he doesn't have a writing credit), if not
     what he would do around the same time with Tease (see earlier
     entries).
     "Do It With Control" sounds a whole lot like Jesse Johnson's
     material in this era, to the point one almost wonders if Chuckii
     snuck his keyboards out of Jesse Johnson's Revue himself. "Hanging
     On", the albums mellow closer, balances a fat bass synthesizer with
     Devriks even-toned voice, and ends the set on a pleasant note.
