Cafe Del Mar - Chillhouse Mix Vol.4 [Digipak] - Various Artists

Advantages: Amazing mixes, Some classic tracks.
Disadvantages: I honestly can't think of one....

...Only a small colllection, but a perfectly compiled dance album. This one disk CD consists perfectly of fifteen of the hottest tracks around. It is just a taster of the bigger Fierce Angel albums. A Little Fierce is a must have!!! Inspired by the summer sounds of the baleraic island, Ibiza. The original inspiration of Hed Kandi, Mark Doyle has started a-fresh under the label of 'Fierce Angel' and god he has not dispointed us with this! Im pretty sure that its not going to be long before 'Fierce Angel' becomes as worldwide and noticed as Hed Kandi is, so snap these CD's up while they are extremely reasonly priced! 'Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar' along with 'Rhytnm is a Mystery - K-Klass' are two absoloute classics!... Read review

...Well i'm back reviewing the Cafe del mar series as promised, this time I am dealing with volume 3. This cd was put together during the summer of 1996, in Ibiza at the Cafe del mar, Which for any one that doesn't know, is a world famous cafe-cum-club known for its chill-out themes and generally having a nice time, relaxing and being relaxed. Its a haven for taking time out at, and many a clubber would have visited here during their stay in Ibiza. As you have come to expect, there is a wide mix of music on these cd's, on this volume though, there is nothing wildly different, the tracks seem to flow into one another, Im not sure if this realy works, all the other compilations have something different on them that wakes you up and makes you sit up and listen, but here there is none of that, you realy could fall to sleep listening...

...I was introduced to the cafe del mar series by a friend back in 1995, what a long time ago! I have never been to the famed cafe in Ibiza, but have purchased all the volumes in this series upto Vol 6. I stopped here because the man that puts them togther stopped, there are others and i'm sure they are good, but they won't be as good as this! Jose Padilla is the master mind behind volumes 1-6, he has such a good understanding of music and the way that it can influence moods and feelings and his selections on the cds are outstanding. I will review each of the 6 as I get the time, but here we will deal with the first... There are 12 tracks on the cd, I think you can still by it in the shops but remeber that it is now 10 years old!! This volume mixes tracks by Leftfield, Underworld, A man called adam and others, The penguin cafe orchestra... Read review
