Ibiza Magic Chill Out Trick - Various Artists

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 at other... Read review

Advantages: alot of popular songs from 2005, a good mixture
Disadvantages: quite commercial on the first two CD's

...Love this album, if you went to Ibiza in summer 2005 you would to, or if you just love the music. The main part i like is the seperation of funky house on one CD, chilled house on another and classic house tunes on another. However the CD is quite commerical house tunes, so not for people who like their bit of electro and hard house. Some good classic tunes from that year and an album you don't get bored of. Incluing some tunes from Axwell, Joey negro, and includes the classic songs, 'your body', 'love on my mind', 'feel the vibe' and 'I see girls' from 2005, played frequently in that year, in capones, play 2 and sgt peppers if anyone went to those that year. Where as the chilled out songs are taken more from cafe mambo and cafe del mar in the early hours of sunset or sunrise. A nice CD to add to your collection, packed full... Read review

Advantages: Great for relaxing to. Not your average Ibiza album.
Disadvantages: Can be a bit too relaxing at times. Not to everyone's taste.

...I'm not your typical Ibiza type. I want to get that straight before we start. Anyhow, the other day, I was sitting in front of the infernal box, watching some high-brow programme when an advert came on for this album. It seemed fairly laid back and didn't bring up too many images of drugged up pillocks on some Mediteranian island. As the cover notes go out of their way to explain, there are different sides to Ibiza, the not-so-chilled-out side, and the chilled-out side, which, although it's had less publicity, is definately worth paying attention to. The album is a two-CD set, CD1 being the more laid back of the two. It starts with the mellow sounds of Kinobe's "Slip into something more comfortable", and manages to avoid anything that I'd heard of until Massive Attack's "Teardrop" with it's pounding bass. A fair way apart from... Read review
