Advantages: Very relaxing, great after a hard day's work! Disadvantages: None that I can think of
...decided not to buy this Deep & Chilled compilation to begin with as I was unsure what the music was like or what it sounded like, and most importantly - whether it would be to my liking!
A friend let me borrow the CD, so I knew what it was like. Ever since then, I've never regretted buying it.
I have summarised below the highs and lows (if any?) of this album:
TRACK SELECTION
The first CD ... ...albums are dire compared to Deep & Chilled Euphoria, and they really turn me off! The MOS compilations have a few chilled tracks (which get you relaxed) but then they are mixed into something which isn't chilled and so you just get fed up listening to them.
CONCLUSION
Well, to conclude, this compilation is truly superb. For those who like trance music, you'll love this album! Even if you're not overly keen on trance, ... more
This is the second 'chill out' Euphoria CD, a follow on from 'Chilled Euphoria'. This compilation is once again digitally mixed by Red Jerry, who is quite a well known DJ on the chilled-out trance/leftfield/ambient scene. It is a two CD compilation, which comes in a nicely designed cardboard CD box. The case itself is good enough to look at! :-)
I am one of those teenagers who has latched on to the latest trend in dance music, and trance is to my particular taste. As a result, I have nearly all the Euphoria compilation albums as nearly all are to my taste. However, I decided not to buy this Deep & Chilled compilation to begin with as I was unsure what the music was like or what it sounded like, and most importantly - whether it would be to my liking!
A friend let me borrow the CD, so I knew what it was like. Ever since then, I've never regretted buying it.
I have summarised below the highs and lows (if any?) of this album:
TRACK SELECTION
The first CD has a total of 14 tracks, and the second CD has 15 tracks. Many of the tracks on the album are remixes of quite well known trance anthems, and indeed some of them are just leftfield (chill-out) remixes of classic tunes (for example, Coldcut - Autumn Leaves). Each track is quite long - about 5 or 6 minutes.
Trance lovers will notice some well-known tunes and artists are featured... BBE - Seven Days and One Week; Xsasia - Sweetness; Three Drives - Greece 2000; Humate - Love Stimulation; Sasha - Baja; Sister Bliss - Sister Sister are just a few examples.
The are only a couple of tracks which I find are not particularly relaxing. Most noticably Groove Armada's 'Your Song' and Rui Da Silva - The Four Elements "Water".
MIXING
Red Jerry has made an excellent choice of tunes here, and the mixing is also superb. Because most of the tracks don't have a beat (or a constant beat anyway), the tracks are mixed quite intelligently using the mid-range and simple fading techniques (as opposed to beat mixing which is how most trance is mixed normally). The mixing is so good it's quite difficult sometimes to know when the next track has begun!
I'm not entirely sure how 'digital' mixing works, but I'm guessing it's all done on a computer rather than using vinyl.
COMPETITION
This Euphoria compilation completely stands out from the rest. The Ministry of Sound chill-out albums are dire compared to Deep & Chilled Euphoria, and they really turn me off! The MOS compilations have a few chilled tracks (which get you relaxed) but then they are mixed into something which isn't chilled and so you just get fed up listening to them.
CONCLUSION
Well, to conclude, this compilation is truly superb. For those who like trance music, you'll love this album! Even if you're not overly keen on trance, this compilation will probably grow on you... It is not at all 'pumping' - the beats and basslines are removed altogther.
If you want to be totally relaxed, then look no further than Deep & Chilled Euphoria. A great buy.

Review of Deep And Chilled Euphoria (Mixed By Red Jerry) - Various Artists
Advantages: All in opinion Disadvantages: All in opinion
Any of you remember “Rain Dance”, “Biology”, “Acid House” and “Sun Rise”?? For those of you who don’t know what I’m harping on about the above were all acid house raves, raves that were held in large venues throughout the country. This was the start of a new era in club/dance music – The yellow smiley faces soon became a fashion trend, as acid raves were the focal point of the club scene. Everyone wanted to be a part of it - this music triggered ... ...where music was the only thing that mattered, this music brought everyone together in a harmony sort of way as ravers travelled in numbers to reach that special acid house rave.
Nearly ten years later this so called acid house music is more commonly known as speed garage, trance, house, techno and jungle music - although stemmed from the original acid house, today’s dance/club music is much improved. There are now more and better DJ`s who have the ...

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 ... ...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 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 ...

Advantages: follow up to a classic Disadvantages: none
This is the 2nd chilled release in the euphoria series. It certainly delivers.....as the last one did!! This album again features some well known dance tracks remixed for ambient effect by extracting the bass and beats with long, emotional sounds. There are more famous names like BBE,Xstasia,Sasha,Three Drives. This album is for the post clubbing experience after all sweat breaking groovin'...you just want to chill out...relax! This album takes you ... ...you through the change of sound. Red Jerry (owner of Hooj tunes)uses his computer to mix it which is why it says 'digitally mixed by Red Jerry' Last year chilled euphoria was the biggest selling chillout album and caused other labels to release similar albums. I am sure that this album will do the same. Ministry Of Sound have just released the chillout session which should cause some serious competition in this fast growing genre of music. So sit ...

Advantages: Great to listen to after being stressed out or something similar, Excellent choice of tracks Disadvantages: None
...Then try this album called Deep & Chilled Euphoria. Mixed by Red Jerry, the man behind the prevoius Chilled Euphoria, he has superbly mixed and selected dance tunes which bring a chilled out feeling to you and helps you relax.
I just love every single track on here, especially BBE. This was a superb track to hear when it was released in 1995 and I loved the remix of it which brought a feeling of chilling out to your whole body.
All the songs are ... ...Xstasia, Sasha, Sister Bliss and Moby featuring with many more included.
The first CD has 14 tracks mixed in and the second CD has 15 tracks. Both are excellent.
So basically, a recommendation to all those people who want to relax for any purpose especially those who get stressed or had a hard days work.
Full Tracklisting:
Disc: 1
1. Maximum reflection (on a mountain high) - JFC
2. Blind visions - Accadia
3. My soul is at the end of the Universe ...

Advantages: Chilled, collectable, cracking Disadvantages: None, but increasingly hard to find.
In a nutshell, this is probably the greatest Euphoria of all time.
From beginning to end, it is absolutely flawless! CD 2 perhaps having the edge over CD 1. I bought this for £7.5 of amazon second-hand. The sleeve however is not very secure so make sure you make copies of this if you by it. Not manufactured anymore this can be a cracking buy if under £10.
"Seven Days and One Week" by BBE being so chilled. Also "Autumn Leaves" (English Version) ... ...involving slowing the songs down. Most tracks are at least 5 minutes long. This compilation will only get harder to find in the future.
Seriously chilled, smooth and it will almost send you to sleep.
Highly recommended!
