Ignore the so-so reveiw of this album unless you are a DJ with an expensive and extensive CD collection or are a music snob who thinks you are too cool not to make pretentious comments about what SHOULD have been on this CD. Bottom line, it delievers what it promises and it's a great compilation, well worth the import price. I first heard this CD when I was living in Europe three years ago and it has held up for me. I have since ordered a bunch of the hedkandi CD's and have not been disapointed yet. If you're tired of buying albums and only liking one or two songs, or don't have the time to research what to buy, this is the easy way out. And even if you have the time to be really really cool, it's still a decent album...

5.0 out of 5 stars NOON TRAIN REVIEW, June 6, 2001

"noontrain" (Raleigh, NC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hed Kandi: Serve Chilled (Audio CD)

This is by far the best bargain I've found yet in this category. There is not one bad track on either cd and the music flows effortlessly with no obnoxious tracks to break that perfect buzz. You can press play and walk away with confidence knowing your in for nearly two hours of "the business" This is great conversation/dinner party music as well as those occassions when it's just you and the water bubbling at the bottom of your apperatus. You won't find a better value in the chill category. Especially with Claude Challe bangin' you for 45 beans for his stuff. Enjoy! Peace out!

4.0 out of 5 stars Hed Kandi's Debut Downtempo Collection., November 21, 2004

This review is from: Hed Kandi: Serve Chilled (Audio CD)

Released in 1999, "Serve Chilled" is the debut entry of Hed Kandi's chillout series, and it appears to have been cast aside in favor of the more popular "Winter Chill" compilations. As is the case with "Nu Cool," Hed Kandi allowed another quality franchise to die, which is unfortunate because this double disc is easily better than the last two "Winter Chill" compilations combined. I searched extensively for this hard-to-get release, and when I finally found it at a record store in Manhattan, I had to grab it while I had the chance. Disc 1 has some of the more familiar names which includes Thievery Corporation's "Glass Bead Game," Nightmares on Wax's "Les Nuits," and Groove Armada's "Dusk, You and Me." But other standouts include the piano-flavored "Resist" by Outside (featuring Karime Kendra) and "Enchant Me" by the Amalgamation of Soundz. Disc 2, however, is my favorite, featuring mellowed tracks that have a jazzy/Latin feel. "Marching On" by Ballistic Brothers, "Who Do You Love" by Jose Padilla, and "Hudson River Revisited" by Black Science Orchestra all have that cafe/laid back feel that's typical in a chillout compilation. Though released in 1999, the material in this compilation of unmixed downtempo jams is still fresh and makes up one of Hed Kandi's best chillout compilations. A smart alternative to the "Winter Chill" CDs.
