3.0 out of 5 stars It's OK but we've had better ones before, May 29, 2001

This review is from: Buddha Bar III (Audio CD)

From all the Claude Challe & Ravin collection, this is the slowest volume. It takes the listener way too deep into the oriental sounds turning the music kind of ethereal. I was looking for more beats and lyrics, like in the Buddah Bar Vol. I or II. The Nirvana Lounge compilation is a good example of an intermediate point between these concepts. Won't make you dance, but you if that's not your thing, you won't be dissapointed.

I'd seen the other Buddha Bar compilations, but hesitated buying them because of the price. This time, I gave in and I'm glad I did. This is the first of the the compilations I've listened to, and I will definitely be back to check out the others, since this cd keeps finding it's way back into my disk man. I listen to it on my way to work, while I'm at the gym, and anytime I in the mood for music that engages me but that doesn't necessarily disrupt my thoughts. The first CD "Dream" is probably my favorite of the two, because of it's calm, meditative vibe, but the second, "Joy," is a great cd for working out, walking or jogging. If you're interseted in world music, and already like dance music, you'll definitely get into this cd.

This review is from: Buddha Bar III (Audio CD)

I own every Claude Challe release- including the seemingly illusive Les Bains Douches, which is one of the finest. When Nirvana Lounge was released I was suspicicious because it was done by a guy called Ravin- where had Claude Challe got to? However, on multiple hearings Nirvana Lounge proved every bit as beguiling as the marvellous Buddha Bars 1 & 2. So it was without hesitation that I bought this latest Buddha Bar 3........ a little disappointing........ it just does not hang together so well as the others- seems not to have so much thought put into the continuity- I smell a bit of "cashing in" on the success of the other releases. Nevertheless there are some fine tracks e.g Talvin Singh, Frédérick Rousseau & Ravi Prasad. By the Way- I picked up Bains Douches 2 in Paris recently- again a slight disappointment, considering the great first release. Where are you Claude? Come back and give us a storming new release with your name on it.
