4.0 out of 5 stars
Much improvement from the first compilation, June 1, 2002
This review is from: Chillout 2002 The Ultimate Chillout (Audio CD)
I'm not going to hide my disdain for last year's horrid compilation that Nettwerk Records released. The material was tepid and was just following the trend. Now I was a little reluctant to buy "Chillout 2002" because I was afraid the songs chosen would once again prove to me that Nettwerk is just jumping on the bandwagon. Well some of the songs on this album are found on 90% of any chillout compilation, not to mention that I also already own. Granted I am rather tired of seeing Dido's "Here With Me" (Chillin' With the Family Mix) on every compilation I find, Zero 7's "Destiny", Bent's "Swollen" (actually I'm not so tired of the Bent song as I am with the other three I've listed), and Delerium's "Silence" (thankfully no the DJ Tiesto remix) but surprisingly enough the album overall proved to be a great improvement. I thought it was a great idea to throw in Radiohead's "Street Spirit" (which I haven't heard before), and remixes of songs by Sarah McLachlan, Mandalay, BT, and Massive Attack. I love Ivy's "Edge of the Ocean" (Duotone Mix) which can also be found on the "Roswell" soundtrack. I can never tire of the Dusted remix to Sarah McLachlan's "Angel". The remix gets rid of the drippiness of the original version oozes out. It was nice to see that the DJ Tiesto remix of Delerium's "Silence" was not used for this album 'cause it is soooo tiresome and predictable. Still the song itself is tiresome and have been overplayed to death. Now while there were slight flaws in this album, I definitely think it is a great improvement from the first volume.

4.5 stars. Solid Chill Compilation, Much Better than 2001, September 20, 2004
This review is from: Chillout 2002 The Ultimate Chillout (Audio CD)
4.5 Stars... This CD is very good, and much better than the below average 2001! I recommend the entire series, expept for the original 2001 (the 2001 isn't that good). 2002, 2003, '04, and '05 are outstanding. I own all the discs from 2001 thru 05. If they can keep this up, I'll look forward to purchasing another CD ASAP!

Beautiful., June 21, 2002
This review is from: Chillout 2002 The Ultimate Chillout (Audio CD)
This is a GREAT compilation. I LOVE every track of the cd except tracks 4 and 13 which I just LIKE. BEAUTIFUL downtempo music, and it is very nicely sequenced: no "false notes". If you share my taste, then you should also get ULTRA CHILLED 01.
