I picked this up a while ago - actually almost exactly a year ago. I still enjoy this compilation although it's in a similar mold to "The Chillout Album" and "The Chillout Mix" and etc. It's very different though from the Ibiza/Cafe Del Mar chillout albums that were popular in the summer of 2001.

This album is pretty cool. It has a very dark feel to it, almost something that you would expect from the HedKandi series. It's also highlighted by an even more so heavy French feel to it, as is seen on the second CD of this double set which features DJ Cam. This album has a lot of the top artists: Other artists on the album are Smoke City, Craig Armstrong, Moby, Underworld, Morcheeba, Depeche Mode, Primal Scream, St Germain, Bent and Groove Armada.

I'd recommend it. It's one of the few chillout albums that I put can say I don't pop in for a song and then take out. It's got a nice flow, especially the second CD and is enjoyable - albeit a bit pricey.

This album definately lives up to its title. I picked it up in Rotterdam while on vacation and took it back to my hotel in Amsterdam that night. We all know what happens (or should I say what COULD happen?) in Amsterdam and this excellent compilation was the absolute perfect soundtrack to my little adventure.

I highly recommend it if you like mellow, trance-inducing music. It is a great source to find new music as well. My favourite tracks are Smoke City's 'Underwater Love', Indian Ropeman's '66 Meters' and the remixed Depeche Mode song. Its too bad that Smoke City and Indian Ropeman are so bloody hard to find, even on line!
