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 to it and I don't mean that badly, its nice to be soothed so much by one cd.
The theme on this cd is mostly a natural rythmic feeling, guitars and classical sounds, but with some electric influence, but as i have said, nothing shocking, I have heard alot of these tunes on BBC 1's Holiday programme and i'm sure most people would recognise a few of the tunes at least.
There are 13 tracks on this cd, and as usual, they range from different era's, most are from 1996, one from 1991 and track 3, Sueno con Mexico, a classical guitar piece is from 1979. On almost all of the Cafe del mar cd's you will find one track from about 30 years ago, but it will fit in, and its age won't show, infact you will probably find it to be the best track on the cd and will want to find more music by the artists.
Volume 3 also boast's the best and most fragile cover of all, being made from a thin cardboard, fastend with two magnetic strips. It would be hard to find a mint copy from 1996, maybe they still make this new but if they do, i doubt it would have the cardboard cover. This maybe something to look for if you are a collector of rare, mint music items, as the cover can easily break. but as I said, its the most striking and different design.
Can't beat a good bit of Cafe Del Mar - memories ;-) x

I feel so out of touch - there's not a single track you listed that I'm familiar with. Oh well, it was a fair few years ago, I'd perhaps remember some of them if I heard them playing. Karen x
