if you are looking for a great, silky smooth house cd FULL OF SOUL, then this is it! very mellow, yet great to dance to in a mature environment...i am a lunge DJ, and I refer to this cd any times between sets....these are two very well known DJs internationally, and two of paris' finest...some of the other discs in the afterdark collection are much more upbeat, but this set is the perfect blend of smooth r&b and full soulful flavor...

I personally don't know what CD these 4 other people were listening to, but I think this CD is nice...real nice! I also purchased Afterdark-Chicago and I personally still think this one is better. This CD has a nice, smooth R&B funk downtempo feel to it that suits my listening taste. For everyone else who are contemplating to buy this CD, don't listen to the other reviews from the haters who don't quite understand the meaning of deep house...this CD is a must have for those who are into a more relaxed, smoother groove.

Don't listen to the negative reviews, they are probably written by people who simply don't like the sound that is on this CD and were probably looking for a whole CD by I:Cube.

This double CD has some gems on it. I own all the afterdark cd's and I put this one right at the top next to the San Francisco one. If your a fan of deep house and like a jazzy flavor to it, check this CD out.

This is a more downtempo collection of house with inspiration coming from R&B and soul. It's still very soulful house though. The first disc was mixed by DJ Rork and the second by DJ Gilb'r. Not as good as Chicago and San Fransisco (which are awesome) but this one is still worth checking out.

I gave this CD at least three listens but just could not get into it. Both AD Chicago and San Francisco are hot and so if you are going to spend you money then buy those CD's instead.

Sometimes DJ's just don't have any groove. This is a manifestation of that premise. It is all over the place and never any good wherever it is. Avoid this like a stinky sock. It's a shame too b/c I lived in Paris and I have never heard of any of these dopes. If you want solid paris lounge/house, pick up Paris Under a Groove.

I didn't like the disk 2 ,but got so addicted to disk 1.I absolutely love it. Disk one is sophisticated deep house with Soldiers Of Twilight. When I got it las year ,I couldn't stop playing in my car. FIVE STARS !

Save your money for another CD...or in this case, TWO CDs that BOTH unfortunately are not even worth the CDs they are burned on to!

If you like "Adore" by I:Cube (the whole reason I wasted my money on this CD set), you can find that track on the "Best of Hotel Costes" along with quite a few other tunes that are just as creative and unique...

Contrast this to "Afterdark: Paris" which is just plain boring and so NOT creative that you may just yank it out of your CD player before you get to the best track which is unfortunately at the END of the 2nd disc...

The best liquid lounge compilation I have discovered thus far:

"Sub Zero: The Essential Chill Out Collection"

Pass on "Afterdark: Paris" and save your hard earned cash for "Sub Zero" instead...you will be a much happier camper!

If you have a non-iPod, you will be happy to know that this cd will work for ya. That may be it's only plus side. I've only listened a couple of times, but have yet to be wowed like I have been by other releases in the family. Maybe it'll grow on me, but for now, it's not at the top of my cd rotation.
