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

3.0 out of 5 stars Bland new age music. Not cool like Paris under a groove, May 5, 2003
By A Customer
This is just another new age music album with boring new age strings that are looped on basically every track.. The vocals do not add much in the area of soulful harmonies either. Check moby's and st germain's vocal sampling for a reference point.

Basically this series has run its course. How many new age albums can one person own, only to pretend that they are listening to some pathetic yanniesque DJ at this parisian touist trap restaurant. If you want the true version of French underground electronica then go get Paris Under A Groove and hear the various stylings of new cutting edge musicians from Paris including a rare unreleased downtempo hit from St germain the godfather of french electronica.

Paris Under A Groove reflects the spirit of the contmeporary french artist/ musician that works in his studio drinking wine and smoking incessantly, while creating a unique fusion of jazz, funk and electronica that is unique to the region. Check it out.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite, November 23, 2003
By Solid (Lebanon) - See all my reviews
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..

I enjoy this double disk set but few of the songs have any memorable beats or melodies. Try "Little Buddha Bar" for higher quality music.
