5.0 out of 5 stars One of the better compilations in the series, August 19, 2004

To say that I am a big fan of downtempo music would be a gross understatement. When I am not listening to goth or industrial music, I like to relax to some downtempo music or chill out music as a lot of people refer to it as. Obviously nothing can compete with the Buddha Bar and Cafe Del Mar series. Despite being utterly predictable, one of my favorite series is the Chillout: the Ultimate Chillout series by the folks at Nettwerk Records, home to Sarah McLachlan. The first volume really didn't impress me but gradually with every volume, the series got better. Still they remained pretty predictable by including tracks by the most obvious artists like Delerium, Radiohead, and Sarah McLachlan. I just acquired the fifth volume today. As predictable as this cd is, it still has some really killer tracks like the Starsailor remix "Four to the Floor". I didn't expect to hear something as bouncy and upbeat like that, let alone like it since I'm not a big fan of Starsailor. I dug the Marius de Vries mix of Sarah McLachlan's "World On Fire". The song fit the mood of the cd. "No Surprises" by Radiohead is an old track by the band but it is one of my personal favorite Radiohead songs ever. Great inclusion. "Just Be" is one my newest favorite songs this year and the Carmen Rizzo's chillout mix did not disappoint me or ruined the song. Although Nettwerk Records could learn to take risks and choose less predictable songs for this series, volume five is definitely one of their better compilations.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Electronica CD, August 4, 2004

Chillout 04 was terrific, though there were a couple of songs I routinely skipped over. This new 05 installment is even better, and I enjoy every track. Just as the title suggests, these songs are relaxing but never a downer. It's a great mix of electronica that doesn't repeat the same beat until you could scream. And it's a nice mix of familiar artists (like Delerium and Flaming Lips) alongside some you may not have heard of. A very good buy.

This '05 addition is excellent! I recommend the entire series, expept for the original 2001 (the 2001 isn't that good). 2002, 2003, '04, and '05 are outstanding. If they can keep this up, I'll look forward to purchasing another CD ASAP!
