Editorial Reviews

The premier purveyors of Ibiza comedown have selected two dozen tracks of laid-back, cozily experimental music to help celebrate their 20th anniversary, and while it at times feels ungainly, it never seems too scripted. The first disc has Amalagation of Soundz creating a rustic drum'n'bass mantra ("Enchant Me"), Moodrama mixing tribal beats with flitters of jazz (the appropriately titled "Jazz Tip"), and even Deep & Wide constructing a gorgeously subtle native twinkle along the lines of Dario G's "Voices." The other disc tends to go for the more celestial (Jean Michel Jarre, Jon & Vangelis) or the post-sunset reawakening (Foundland, Christian Alvad), but begins to sag with the drugged-out self-importance of a born-again hippy. Luckily, with so many tracks on offer, it's easy to sift out the treasures. This is a fine, calming collection of indigenous, open-door attitude. With a massive booklet and an amusing video file of a Cafe Del Mar sunset, this is one of the only Cafe Del Mar compilations you'll ever need. ~ Dean Carlson, All Music Guide --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

Great jazz and world mix. When you listen you drift to a different place and mood. Nice mix of styles and vocals. Very unique music worth adding to a collection.

Bruno Leprete continues the Cafe del Mar series with this 20th ann. compilation .although good, it doesn't reach the nirvana levels of Padilla's volumen 6 or Lepretes Cafe del Mar ChillHouse.
