Advantages: Simply fantastic

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. ...
...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 ... Read review

...sites toward a group called Deep Forest. The group spans several different music venues, from jazz, to pop, to new age, as well as tribal. The first CD I bought of theirs was called Boheme' which had several songs from movies I had heard as well as several other songs which I fell in love with. Over the past 5 years, I have watched this group evolve with their newest release called Composa. This release has on its first track the voice of a 100 year ...
...she died. It was noted in the cover that it was her dream to have her voice immortalized before her death, well with this release it has come to pass. The music as stated before spans all cultures, and it is a type of music that relaxes as well as opens your soul and allows you to touch your inner self with no problem. If your into the spiritual movement or just looking for a musical sound that is relaxing, I would suggest you purchase a copy of ... Read review

I have actually got Spiller "Groovejet (If This ain't Love)" single on vinyl. I bought it from HMV, in 2006 for about £3 brand new. It has two tracks on it; "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)-Extended Vocal Mix" with Sophie Ellis-Bextor 07:27 and "Groovejet-Solar Stone's Jet Groove Dub Mix". 05:55 It is essentially a DJ's copy but I play it myself. Two great mixes of this cult classic on Positiva recordings. It came out in 2000 and can still be ... Read review

Advantages: Great mixes, chilled, value for money
Disadvantages: Two weak tracks, nothing major.

This 2CD compilation by Jay Burnett is very, very good. CD1 is relatively poor compared to CD2, which is amazing. Alternative mixes of Dido, Spiller "Cry Baby", Motorcycle "When the rush comes". David Bowie vs Scumfrog appears with an excellent "Loving The Alien". "Janeiro" by Solid Sessions is so, so chilled and takes my mind to another dimension. Maybe there is two weak tracks on the album being Moony "Dove" and Kylie Minogue "Love At First ... Read review

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) ... Read review
