The music on these CDs is as about as generic as the title would suggest, but doesn't quite live up to anything like, say, the Buddha-Bar series or anything else with "Buddha" in the title. This collection is very cheap for 5 CD's worth of music, and for good reason. There is lots and lots of filler. Most of the songs float by without making any sort of impression, making some nice background music for passive listening. However, if you are like me and look to music like this for a more spiritual experience, you will be disappointed. That is not to say that there aren't some good tracks; some of the standouts for me are Trade Winds on CD 1, Peace Prayer on CD 2, Sweet Dreams and Kafez on CD 3. This collection could have very easily been cut down to one CD. However, the low price means that you may get something you enjoy and weren't expecting at all.

If you've been looking for some music to either calmy play in the background during a great dinner or to sit, or chill and smoke hookah to, this is a mix you must have. I am a huge fan of Thievery corporation, Bonobo, and groups that incorporate a cosmopolitan feel with an electic style and instrumental range. Having recently traveled to India I was hoping for a collection that would incorporate the amazing vibe of india into a lounge setting - and this is the best result I have come across to date.

You get five CD's with a great mix of music. I bought it more for bellydance than for "chilling out". Heard quite a few on Pandora and had to get it.

There are middle-eastern sounds as well as jazz and mellow stuff.

I bought this because I had heard two songs on Pandora that I liked.

Those are about my favorite songs on the five CDs.

I don't regret buying this, but would have been dissappointed if paid full price - I think I paid around $12.00.

Heard sample on Pandora radio and liked! Service and price from Amazon was top-drawer all the way!

Would and will buy again, soon!

For all who may be interested in this Cd boxed set. This has been my first Cd box set, and its the best one i ever owned. If you like dance beats, you will enjoy this CD box set, its very unique and very new age. You will relax to the buddhist vibes but also groove to the beats. I fully recommend you to purchase this CD box set, it will be the best investment you will make. You will not be disappointed, I love this CD box set, and sometimes i have to listen to a particular song over, because I like it so much, and you will too.
