Chilling On The Beach - Various Artists

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

...Have you ever wanted to be totally relaxed? Have you ever wanted to just get away from that thing called life? This compilation, in the Euphoria series, works extremely well. The concept it very simple, well know trance tracks, mixed with long relaxing beats, it's absolutely brilliant. The whole 2 1/2 hours worth of music spread across 2 discs, fades into each track, from one to the other. This basically means, uninterrupted music! There are various style spread across the whole music journey here. Fast famous trance hits, and amazing mind chilling mixes of newer music. These all bring life and a whole new meaning into your mind as you listen. I rented the CD after seeing a TV advert on sky, I really don’t why I did, but I certainly have no regret against it. It’s very hard to explain how the music feels in most... Read review

Advantages: Everything; up there with the best of them
Disadvantages: You have to change disc!

...I bought this in 2006 for £5. This is one seriously chilled album, featuring many unheard of artists. It has 30 tracks in total. The design is simple, the packaging minimal. There is over 2 hours of tunes on here. I would compare this to Red Jerry's "Deep and Chilled Euphoria" from 2001. The tracks on here are more recent, one of them "Kota" by Bonobo being featured on an O2 advert some years ago. It has happy parts, sad parts and parts that allow you to reflect. "Shake It Loose" by Dolphin Boy takes your mind to another dimension. "Only Hush" by Nostalgia 77 sounds very underground and shady. But "Kota" must be one the top tracks, simple and non-mainstream. All in all a fabulous album!... 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
