Editorial Reviews :
You're having a dinner party. The in-laws are going to be there. So are some of your closest 'after-hours' friends. You need music, something mellow but not despicably insipid. Welcome to a double-disc set that will cover all the above bases. Featuring Dido's 'Home with Me (Chillin' with the Family Mix),' St Germain's wonderful, downtempo 'Sure Thing,' and Royksopp's jaunty 'Eple,' it's mainstream enough for the progressive suburbanites in your midst. Meanwhile, Badly Drawn Boy's 'The Shining' and 'Nights Interlude' from Nightmares on Wax are culled from a deeper well of modern folk and jazz, respectively. The second disc, which contains some absolute gems, works overall as a more fluid mix. After Jakatta and Moby bring us further in, Dusted hit the dubbed-out trip-hop trail with 'Childhood.' Witchman (a.k.a. John Roome) has the set's best moment with 'Leave No Trace (Dub),' a smoky bit of wicked seduction that makes for a marvelous chill-out gem.
Buyer Reviews :
Basically, this album is worth the money for the first cd alone. The second disc, I'll admit this, is rather dull (unless you're a purist). But the first disc is worth it's weight in gold. The standout tracks are Gorillaz- New Genious a dazzling track that makes you forget it was done by cartoons, Bent- Swollen one of the absolute most fabulous songs ever made. It's beautiful. St Germain- Sure Thing another jazzy track from them. Badly Drawn Boy- The Shining which really sounds like something directly out of a Wes Anderson movie (which to my knowledge, it is not). And I Monster- Daydream in Blue, which is fun even though it doesn't quite seem to fit with the rest of the album. Also featuring tracks by Zero 7, Thievery Corporation, Moby, and an interesting take on the American Beauty score by Jakatta, this is an amazing compilation album which should be cherished by fans of chillout music. *
