5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best albums of all time!, October 13, 2003

A wonderful variation and compilation of songs from Moby to Maxwell. It's such a peaceful album to listen to that I even listen to it while I study. If you like music by Enya, Dido, Moby, Jill Scott, Maxwell, etc., then you'll love this album.

For reading or relaxing, The Classic Chillout Album creates a comforting ambience. The selections are soothing and keep to a consistent laid-back mood. There is enough variety to keep you relaxed and entertained. Classics like Sade's Ordinary Love are instantly recognizable and Sweet Lullaby by Deep Forest invites in the exotic. The album begins with more edgy selections and then turns romantic and sensual at the end, making this perfect to listen to with someone you love. Perfect as a relaxing background while giving massage, reading books in bed or for escaping into a relaxing bath. Play this on your stereo while you watch a fireplace DVD and curl up with a good book. Hot chocolate with whipped cream and freshly grated nutmeg, optional, but comforting.

3.0 out of 5 stars It is fairly good but bland at times, April 23, 2002

This review is from: Classic Chillout Album (Audio CD)

I bought a copy of this album about two months ago when I saw a commercial on television advertisement for this album which at the time was not available in stores for the public. I bought a copy over the website. At the time, I thought this compilation was excellent but after I bought the German import of a similarily titled chillout compilation, my mind has drastically changed. I found the German import to be more compelling to listen to than this album. First and foremost, I could have lived without the tracks by Jill Scott and Maxwell. Not that I didn't like the songs but they sounded so out of place on this cd while Sade's "No Ordinary Love" was perfect with her silky smooth vocals. On this album you got the standard tracks by Moby, Delerium, Deep Forest, and Chicane, and Dido that you could find on a lot of chillout albums nowadays. Yawn! I love "Porcelain" and the Chillin' With the Family Mix of "Here With Me" but seriously, is it really necessary to put those songs on every chillout album? And "Sweet Lullaby" all over the place on new age compilations, I just want to pull my hair out from frustration. I like the song but is it really necessary to put that tired ol' song on another compilation? Surprisingly enough, one of my favorite tracks on this album is Jame Horner's "Rose" (from "Titanic"). Beautiful song, even moreso without the vocals from Celine Dion. I adored the Craig Armstrong track (w/Elizabeth Fraser) "This Love", Charlotte Church's "Just Wave Hello", Endorphin "Satie 1", Strange Cargo's (w/Beth Orton) "She Cries Your Name", and Tangerine Dream's "Love On a Real Train". Now while I liked a lot of songs on this album, there were a lot of flaws on this album. And as much as I like Evea Cassidy's version of "Fields of Gold", I didn't think it had any place on this album like the tracks by Jill Scott and Maxwell. Overall it is a good album but too bland. I rather spend a few more bucks on imports with a more diverse selection than this album has to offer.
