This isn't the smoothest compilation out right now, even if you're into lounge-oriented stuff. I was looking for more of an ambient vibe from this disc that just wasn't there. It had a really strong undercurrent of 60s lounge stuff, which is cool if you're into that, but won't necessarily chill you out like, say, "Serve Chilled" or the "Om Lounge" series. This one's for more of the hardcore suit and martini crowd, not the laid-back blunt on a sofa, 3 AM cool crowd.

This album is a good introduction to chill-out type music, ranging from some hip-hop grooves on the aim track, south american music, more housey business from Daniel Ibbotson, and chilled out dubbiness from just about everyone else. I bought it because it features tracks from bent and blue states, but hadn't heard many of the other names. Most of the tracks are good, listenable, downbeat, but occaisonally it falls into the trap of being too inoffensive and just becomes backing noise. Overall, a good introduction to laid back grooves. If you like this, do yourself a favour and buy Kruder & Dorfmeister's "Sessions" or "Dj Kicks" albums, or any Kid Loco release.

Stereo Deluxe keep going from strength to strength with their expertly compiled compilations of downtempo lounge grooves. If you liked "Future Lounge" and "Slo Mo" this one is bound to please!

This cd it's very nice given you the right atmospera not only at home but also in your prefered lounge.
The mix of the music is going from the pop trought the jazz passing from the latin sounds. In a very smart cover you can find important names like Bent, Groove Armada, Nicola Conte but the best music is coming from the unknows (for me) artists.
In my title ther is a but....infact this cd it's very near at the five stars..but...but there is the last song by Trafalgar a tremendus la la la for more than 4 minuts. Why this song is in this cd? I don't know and it's a pity. Somentime it's better a Cd 67 minuts long than a 71 but with a very last bad song that give you a wrong impression of the whole cd.

I love N.on Wax, Groove Armada, Kid Loco etc and this album have some of the best Trip Hop song I ever heard. It has got lots rare tracks too. I love it, my friends love it, my neighbours love it, my dog love it...really good.

If you like hip hop sounding rhythms, some lounge melodies, and few nice synth sounds you�fll be happy with this CD. I don�ft love every song, but there is plenty to love. The groove is deeper than the OM Lounge CD�fs and smoother than Terranova or Stereo MC�fs. It�fs rare to find Trip Hop like this:)

I am very happy with this album, the quality of manufacture, smooth music and a cool cd cover. There are no bum tracks, so you can just sit back and relax and not have to worry about skipping around.

Excellent job as always StereoDeluxe and so long Oli Rösch, you will be missed.

Usually I'm very critical with reviewing CDs. This one is a must. One of the first CDs this year, where 99% of all tracks are really great. Medium tempo but well arranged. For fans of Thievery Corporation, DJ Kicks compilations, Kruder and Dorfmeister etc.

Enjoy it

If you are looking for a great CD to play at a party, then you have got to pick up this CD. It's filled with remixes by a number of artist with the musical flavor running from light jazz to R&B funk. There isn't a weak song in the bunch.

I was told that this was a decent trip hop compilation. Boy, was I wrong !I traded this in as soon as I got it! Boy anyone will put anything together and sell it as a chill cd ! RUN FROM THIS CD unless you like a lot of bland Acid Jazz tracks that are not well mixed. With barley any vocals on them, with maybe a word hear and there.(This is a bargain basement version of the authentic compilations.)I don't recognize any of these people and glad I don't I would be ashamed! I see now if you want a good trip hop compilation you have to do it yourself! Run from this there is nothing stand outish about this compilation. If you are looking for Portishead type stuff this isn't it! I strongly recommend The Hedkandi Winterchill 1,2,3 and 02.06. and (She: A female trip hop experience.) And if you are looking for a consistant bands try.....

Santessa - Produced by Stuart Mathewman and Sade (Beautiful cd)
Mandalay - Empathy/Solace/Instinct
Airlock - Drystarr
Lamb -What sound
