Sublime
This is chill music for the soul, music to live by. One beautiful track after another. It has played non-stop on my various CD players since I got it 5 months ago...and I am not even close to growing tired of it. Rather, it has become like oxygen. I can't live without.
Every CD in the del Mar series is worth its weight in gold, but this one can be weighted with a far more precious metal. I would need to be a poet to say more about this wonderful compilation. But I must mention track 5: it is a highlight among bright stars. Never have I heard such smooth and darkly elegant guitar work, all of course backed by a first-class chill groove.
Plug your soul into this CD...you will be transported to a lovely place.
pretty jazzy
This is an excellent CD. Every song belongs on the disc (except
"time is the enemy" by Quantic, although an excellent song, it is too upbeat for this CD and could have been replaced by something from the Knighthawks. This song can be found also on Private Lounge 3, of which I own, and the song by Quantic was a purchasing point for me to buy the CD, so don't take this opinion in the wrong way or out of context.). All of these songs keep a tight knit from one song to the other - this has made it into my top 3 CD's out of 50 something.
If you like this album, or haven't purchased it, you should check out some albums by Praful at the same time, you're sure to enjoy.
Again, this is a great disc.
Bruno's Blissful Magnum Opus
This is maximum chill-out at its unparalleled best. Remember Mantovani?
Every generation has music that allows one to come home at the end of the harsh, mean, travails of the day and 'chill'. Have a Frapp. Have an Espresso. Mingle with friends with lively banter. This is music meant to melt the minutia or monstrous maelstroms of the moments of the day magnificently.
These tunes are original to this compilation...my favorite tracks are number 2, "Island Memories (original mix)" by Lovers Lane (listen to this track on a great set of headphones), and cut number 6 "A Day In The Sun" by So Fine (don't get sun burned!), and "8:00 AM" (the signification moniker of the time you'll be heading in to catch some sleep after a night of partying and sun rise gazing after the Baleraic experience).
I own Cafe Del Mar's 1 through 9, and after #5 I was going to stop buying this series because of the same, worn-out, perputual tired formula. This compilation has left me wanting more. Enjoy!
