4.0 out of 5 stars fairly good for what it is, November 1, 2003

This review is from: Buddha Bar V (Unibox) (Audio CD)

I have to admit I had high hopes for this cd, not saying its bad by any means, just not what I expected from listening to the past releases. There are some wonderful tracks on this cd. Many dreamy tracks of world music, and even a few good beats. If you were expecting Euro lounge or Euro chill-out beats you will barely find any, but if you keep an open mind you will be joyfully surpised at the wide range of tunes and earthy beauty of many of these sounds from around the world. The first cd is much more layed back and mellow, but a pleasue to listen to. The second cd is a bit more up beat, and has a few steller tracks by the likes of dZihan & Kamien. A few other stand out tracks are by Refractory featureing J.C. Sindress and Youn Sun Nah, Trupet Thing, and David Visan and Mickael Winter featuring stunning vocals by Ani Choying Drolma, I won't list them all but there are plenty of wonderful songs on here. Yes this cd is rather "light" and "sweet" but it is a pleasure to listen too, and who knows maybe you will find a whole new type of ethnic music to indulge in. If you really want to splurge and get some great world chill-out music, buy the Karma Collection and the Karma Collection 2003, they are true gems!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Terrific, January 28, 2004

Be careful if you play CD#2 (Drink) while you are driving. The tempos build as it progresses and you may find yourself doing more seat dancing than driving. If you like the Buddha Bar, Nirvana Lounge and Chill Out in Paris CD series, you will love this CD, especially if you like the Middle Eastern and Asian influences. CD#1 is perfect as background music for dinner while CD#2 will get you blood flowing. I find it hard to comprehend the criticisms leveled at this CD by a few "purists" and can only wonder what it is that I am missing. Frankly, judging by Buddha Bar IV and V, the Buddha Bar series is getting better.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite, November 23, 2003

This is my favorite Album of the Buddha Bar Series..but i think CD2 had a little bit too many arabic tracks in a row (for me it's not a bad thing since it's my native langauge)..
"GIA" remains my favorite song..
