5.0 out of 5 stars An Eclectic Fusion Of Chill Out World Music!, November 1, 2002

What an eclectic range of music! I say this because "Chill Out In Paris 2" has something that most chill out compilations don't have: Diversity! And, unlike most chill out compilations today (which usually try to find cloans of groups like Massive Attack, Chicane and Morcheeba), David Visan coherses world artists with that of smooth mellowness (Disk 1: LOVE) and electronic dance beats (Disk 2: HATE), which makes this album even hipper than all other chill out compilations that most likely copy from each other's ideas for it's (dare I say it?) DIFFERENT! Some people are frightened and intimidated by this word but sometimes it's good to expand your musical horizons! You might actually find more joy in listening to the music that YOU LIKE (the individual!), and not just because everyone else is listening to it! That's why, if you're questioning on whether or not you wanna buy this, you should NOT read the first person's review because they're describing this as being cheesy when it's anything BUT that! They're bashing this album just because it's world music! Well, if you don't like world music than I agree: DON'T BUY THIS ALBUM! If you do like it, however, than I highly recomend this! The only song that really reminds me of something I'd hear in Paris, though, is Rosetta Stone's "Paris Divine". Don't let that disgruntle you though for this edition to the Buddha Bar series is well worth the purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five stars doesn't cover it., December 24, 2002

David Visan's "Buddha Bar IV" and first "Chillout in Paris" compilation were, to my ear, uneven at best, displays of a wide range of material from the sublime to the uninspired to the downright horrible. But take it from a listener who's addicted to world/chillout music, and who is always seeking out my next, new "fix": "Chill Out in Paris 2" is without a question the ABSOLUTE BEST CD I own of this genre. It surpasses any of my favorites from the "Hotel Costes" and "Cafe del Mar" series. In fact, the only recording that stands up to "Chill Out in Paris 2" is the over-the-moon masterpiece, "Buddha Bar 1" by Claude Challe.

Put this CD in your system and you'll be on a vacation that Alice in Wonderland would envy. Buy it, you can't go wrong. Any of the reviewers who gave this aural gem less than five-stars is simply not a fan of this style of music. Superb, utterly original selections, recorded, mixed and blended beyond perfection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great ecletic mix cd from Buddha Bar, August 31, 2002

I was at [a store] a few weekends ago when I was in the music department listening to some music samples. One of the cds I listened to happened to be "Chill Out in Paris 2". I automatically loved what I heard based on the first four tracks I listened to. I didn't get a chance to listen to the second cd but I knew I would like it as much as I would with the first cd. I bought the 2 cd mixed compilation. I didn't realize until I got home and listened to "Chill Out in Paris 2" that there were two different moods. The first disc is described to be as "love" and the second disc as "hate". The "love" disc contains more mellow music while the "hate" disc contains more upbeat, danceable music. On both cds there is a obvious influence of world music, especially a middle eastern influence. I have no problem with this unlike the previous reviewer. Not all chill out music is going to be the same ol' Portishead/Massive Attack sort of music. That would be boring. I love that all the songs are more obscure to me 'cause I am sick and tired of seeing the same ol' song on every chill out compilation that is released. I think the "love" disc is my favorite of the two with its haunting melodies and soothing beats. I do enjoy the "hate" disc a lot though. It should have been the first disc and then to end this great mixed compilation with the charming "love" disc. Nevertheless, Buddha Bar and Dave Visan put out a top notched, quality mixed compilation that is well worth the money. It was definitely well worth every penny I shelled out for it.
