5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Music, January 1, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Cafe Roma: Italian Chill Out (Dig) (Audio CD)

This CD is the best out of my chill out collection (including Paris Chill Out, Lounge Cafe, Chill Out Session, etc.). Imagine being in a cafe anywhere in town during a light rain. The sky's dark, but not too dark because the street lights are not lit up. You just ordered your Mocha Latte and you are preparing yourself to sit down on the suede-plush one-seater-sofas near one of the windows looking out at the crowd and the view. The music will capture this exact ambiance. You'll feel comfortable, stylish, and smarter listening to those beautiful Italian tune and lyrics.

Unlike Smooth Jazz, this CD gives you another perfect milieu. With Jazz, you'll feel calm. With Italian Chill Out, you'll feel coy. About one-third of the CD are on lyrics, but the tune of every song will capture your ears better than any chill outs out there. Both CDs are excellent, although I always put CD #1 on a rainy day and CD #2 on a perfect sunny day. Before you go out on a Friday night, put on CD #2 and you'll definitely dress, look, and feel better. The music ravels your inhibitions to a lively day or night. If you rather sit alone and enjoy yourself on a Friday night, shake or stir some martini and sit where you won't move an inch for the next hour.

Simply beautiful.

When I purchased this cd I was somewhat hesitate because some of the chillout cds I've purchased in the past were somewhat spacey music. But this cd is excellent - First disc 1 is warm and colorful with a consistent tempo and great Italian vocals. Its the type of music that you can just sit and have a glass of wine, chat, or simply have people over for dinner. The guitar work is excellent with that samba rhymthic feeling. Most of all it is very jazzy with a laid back type of sound. Overall, I rate this as a#10 in my book. If your a fan of brazilian sounds, jazz, and a house chill out type of sound, this is the cd for you. Disc 2 continues with this same type of ambience. However, the tunes are not as smooth as disc 1 but it still is great. Artist Like Belladona, Duran Y Garcia -(my favorite artist tune #10 dream love has a house type groove), and Omh gura set this cd off. My favorite tracks are track 4,7,8 and of course 9 which is the Da'breakers which I've heard on other compilations. This cd is not repetitious and is very original. Lots of flute playing and great keyboard work. Make purchasing this cd a priority it's absolutely great!!!! Don't let the chill out category fool you. It's has a great smooth groove to it.

Never heard of the musical catergory Chill Out before. But I was in Barnes and Noble last week and heard this great sound coming from the Music/DVD section. I went over and asked the clerk about the album (Cafe Roma) and she ran down the CD and the genre for me. Well, she was cute so I purchased the CD.

I went home to mull over my weakness while listening to this new sound. I have been listening to this CD and no other for 5 days straight. It sorta reminds me of all those cool light jazz sounds from the 60's but with some contemporary influences. It's great.
