4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Sampler, December 24, 2002

This review is from: Hed Kandi: Serve Chilled 3 (Audio CD)

Four stars, because I did not quite fall for CD 1. While it does have some solid tracks and artits, like Rae & Christian and Badmarsh & Shri, the overall feel of that one puts me a few steps closer to slumperland.

But CD 2... wow. The funny thing is that I picked this up actually at the same time I had picked up Brazilectro vol 2. And to be honest, what attracted me most to this cd was, in reality, the artists on CD 2. Bebel Gilberto, Los Ladrones and I was on a mad craze to find out more information about S-Tone Inc. The feel of the second disc definitely is latin, and specifically, new bossa nova. In addition to who I jsut mentioned, you also haer Racoon's popular club track "Sensacao", and Butterfinger's "Wanna Go" and a perfect wind-down is Atjazz's "Harmony".

Most of the artists are near impossible to find, so it seems, and the tracks are presented in full. You don't feel slighted at all with a commercial tidbit of a track. This really is a chill-cd, and I highly recommend it. From start to finish (of disc 2), it takes you on a tour - of the beach. From noon to sunset, with a splash of ambiance.

In addition to this disc, I would definitely recommend spidering out and picking up a few of the artists featured. Bebel Gilberto's Tanto Tempo is a no brain selection, as is AtJazz's Labfunk. Los Ladrone's "Montana Rusa" is also a very very good release. S-Tone Inc.'s "Arejar" had been given a tremendous face-lift from fellow label artists Soulstance, who make the track sound every bit of its name in the compilation "Brazilectro Vol. 4". Be forewarned though - This track is on S-Tone Inc's release "Free Spirit", and the cd itself is not quite the same sound as this. Enjoy!

All of Hed Khandi's stuff is good. It reminds me of the naked music label. This is a nice set of vocal, chill tracks to lounge back to. The second CD has an Ibiza influance which I can take it or leave it, lots of spanish beat tracks. Im not a fan of that so the 4 stars.

My title may be corney, but accurate. Serve Ch. 1 was fantastic, instant classic. Served Ch.2 slipped, not as good, spotty at best. However, Served Ch. 3 is back on target and as whole is what Served Ch. 2 tried to accomplished. Every tune is mellow without putting you to sleep. This is the perfect party, rooftop, sunbathing dinner party and beach cd. A Must BUY. Smooth grooves on CD1 and laid back latin grooves on CD2.
