Musical knights: Michael Caine was inspired to compile the album after dinner with Elton John

He decided to embark on the new direction as music mogul at dinner with Sir Elton.

Sir Michael found himself reeling off details of tracks playing in the background during dinner at Sir Elton's mansion in Nice.

It was enough to make him realise that he was a chill-out music buff.

The Get Carter, Zulu and Italian Job star said: "I've loved this type of music for years, and have literally hundreds of CDs.

"I've been buying them for about 15 years, and really know my way around.

"About ten years ago I started making my own compilations. I've always been interested in music, and over the years have made literally thousands of tapes. And with chill-out I suppose I finally found my forte."

Cained - The album, which will contain tracks from Chicane's No Ordinary Morning to Nina Simone and Felix Da Housecat's Sinnerman, will be released in September.
