Customer Reviews

It follows Vol. 13th, but not with the same results.4
I'm writing this review for folks who are interested in buying this compilation. Vol. 14 in the Cafe del Mar series is solid, and lets get this first and foremost. As to the reviewer who rated this product a one star, I think this was too harsh, as even the more water-down instrumentals in this comp. are still excellent, although a little repetitious. Vol. 14 retains the same feel as Vol. 12, and 13th, with a very heavy acoustic guitar feel, and deep, melancholic tunes. I found this Vol. a little more 'darker', more chilled, and less cheery when compared to its previous brother, Vol. 13. This is chilled latin, featuring lots of guitar riffs, female voices echoing into oblivion, and once again, like any Cafe del Mar series, it features a collection of styles with elements of lounge, nu-beats, balearic electronica, blissout soulful jazz, and more importantly, that Cafe del Mar touch that restores that sense of well-being. These tracks are new, fresh, and worth the money for this double CD-set. The packaging is again, excellent, and the mixing well contrived. Where Vol. 14 falls short is in the selected instrumentals, which sometimes feels a little too familiar from one another, and the lack of originality when compared to Vol. 13. These tracks are little more watered down in originality, and thus this Vol. takes a slight hit, even though it is still one of the best compilations out this year. Personaly I own the entire series, and I have heard this series grow, mature, and offered some of the best cocktail compilations that money can buy. To fans of the series, or to those who love sophisticated music in general, Vol. 14 is a wise investment overall. Cheers!

What a GREAT disappointment!!!1
I must say that the guys at Cafe del Mar have really lost it. I almost lost my faith in the Cafe del Mar series after vol. 12 and 13, which were sad examples of the lack of innovation, imagination, taste, and passion needed to compile an ambitious chill-out CD or set of CDs, but I wanted to give them one more chance. I should not have done it, as this vol. 14 is even worse. One just cannot hastily pull together a number of tracks that are far and away from the ambitious masterpieces compiled by Bruno or Jose Padilla in the not-so-distant past, and are more of a reminder of cheap "beach gigolo" kind of music. The guys at Cafe del Mar must do much far better than this, invite Bruno, Jose Padilla, Phil Mison or even Afterlife to compile the next set of CDs, or stop producing these the worst not-even-close-to-so-called-kitch-heartbreaking music for teenage kids altogether!!!

Not a Del Mar authentic one2
I'm afraid that Del Mar series is experiencing a lack of creativity and, to make matters worse, is forgetting the authentic and original "balearic sound" which masters like Jose Padilla and Bruno created in last years of last century. The series quality has evolved downwards since 2-CD box were introduced in Vol.12. It seems that threshold standards to appear in Del Mar had relaxed in order to get more songs. In Vol.14, we can listen sounds more close to other succesful series like Buddha Bar or even groove compilations. Please, don't get me wrong: I also love Buddha Bar and many others. But when I buy another Cafe del Mar disc, I'm looking for this unique style offered in Cafe del Mar, at least the style Cafe del Mar used to offer until vol. 11
