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 :
For those of you who haven't an extensive cd collection of chillout beats this cd would make a nice addition to your collection. I recently purchased this cd as it makes a nice compilation including many of the artists I hold in high regard making an appearance. I must say that the track selection is for the most part exceptional with several of my favourites being listed including 'Zero 7 - destiny', 'Future Sounds of London - Papua new Guinea' an excellent downtempo version which also makes for an excellent dance track via Hybrid's remix, 'Massive attack - Hymn of the big wheel' a moving and vocally aesthetic song as only Massive Attack knows how.. and 'St Germains - Sure Thing' a popular track regularly played in bars and lounges since its release on 'Tourist'.
The cd also includes a few more 'commercial' American tracks from Roger Sanchez ,Jakkata, Dido and Gorillaz , each having been mixed to keep in with the deep and downbeat atmosphere created by the rest of the tracks. Personally I don't think these hold up alongside the European masters of chill on the album like Zero 7, K&D, Thievery corporation and St Germain. CD 2 starts to lose its flair after track 10 with a few sterile and rather flat tracks.
