Best Of Chilled, The - Various Artists

Advantages: All the best R'n'B anthems from '04 & '05
Disadvantages: A little dated now

...This is an excellent round up of all the R'n'B smashes of 2004 and 2005 with a few nostalgic classics thrown in for good measure. It covers the slow jams, the dancefloor joints and everything in between from artists as diverse as Wayne Wonder, Lucy Pearl, Kelis and Usher. CD2 also takes us back with classic gems from the likes of D'Angelo (whose 'Brown Sugar' pretty much defined and kick started the neo soul scene), Janet Jackson (with her undeniable classic 'That's The Way Love Goes') and Blackstreet (with club hit 'No Diggity' featuring Dr Dre) This album is the perfect party album and although it avoids raritites, its sound understanding of R'n'B past and present make it a must have for any music lover....

Advantages: Deep Chilled out way to relax
Disadvantages: Honestly none

...cases, but I think that that is the idea of the artist. He has very cleverly developed this sound to chill and calm your mind, you can interpret it in absolutely anyway you fell. But the best way is to just, sit back, press play, and relax. Some of the popular hits on this compilation, are remixes of Moby, ATB, and Xtasia. To be honest, don't expect heavy fast trance music, or you will be disappointed, but what you can expect is a new approach to music, as we enter "The New Age" I suggest this CD to anyone really, particularly someone who copes with a lot of stress. But who would of thought? Trance music that relaxes your mind! I also suggest that try using it when writing you’re CIAO opinions, or for when you are working late at home, it really does help you relax and concentrate on the task ahead of you. If you have a copy... Read review

Advantages: Relaxing, reasonably priced, and better than its predecessor.
Disadvantages: Not enough tracks!

...If you haven't heard 'Chilled Ibiza', then don't worry, because the sequel, 'Chilled Ibiza 2' rocks! In much the same style as its predecessor, 'Chilled Ibiza 2' is guranteed to make you lie back and relax, and it's the perfect cure for road rage (trust me, I should know). I've always wanted to create my own compilation CD of chill out music, but as soon as I heard the first 'Chilled Ibiza', my work was more or less done. And now with the release of the second CD, my mission is complete. 'Chilled Ibiza 2' has all the tunes that I myself would have chosen. But I must stipulate, that this isn't one of those albums that's likely to make you fall asleep. By far, it will relax you and put you in the mood. The next best things about 'Chilled Ibiza 2' are the artists it features, and its price. At only £13.99 from HMV (prices... Read review
