5.0 out of 5 stars A deliciously seductive downtempo compilation, August 25, 2004

I'm not really all that familiar with the Hed Kandi series except for their previous chillout album and now "Hed Kandi: Winter Chill 06.03". I am more of a Buddha Bar fan when it comes to this type of music. I decided to get the new chillout cd in the label's Winter Chill series because I liked what I heard on a previous Winter Chill cd. I'm glad I got it. I found "Winter Chill 06.03" pure ecstasy. I persoanlly enjoy the angelic female vocals that I hear on a lot of chillout music. What I really appreciate about Hed Kandi's chillout series is that the song selections are far from predictable like on a lot of chillout compilations you see in record stores. It is hard for me to pick a favorite of the two discs because the music on both cds are exquisite and a completely joy to listen to. On disc 1, I particularly enjoyed the sensuous sounds of Slovo's "Killing Me" and Hubtone/Zoe Johnston's "Red Balloon". Zoe has a beautiful voice that is ideal for this type of music. Glad to hear her beautiful voice again. On disc 2, I loved the folksy/trip hop sound of Kate Rogers' "This Collective" and the haunting melodies and husky female vocals on Husky Rescue's "New Light of Tomorrow". All of the songs on both cds are excellent. They are the perfect soundtrack to a romantic dinner or the ideal music to chill too after a long day at the office.

5.0 out of 5 stars Winter Chill, April 4, 2005

This review is from: Hed Kandi: Winter Chill 06.03 (Audio CD)

I'm a big fan of the WINTER CHILL series from Hed Kandi. It has yet to disapoint me. The songs on here are very acoustic, with hints of trip hop and electronica dripped in throughout. It would be hard for me to find a song I dislike on here, they are all wonderful. It's a nice CD to pop in at the end of a long day, to just relax, and get lost in the beautiful music and great melodies. The vocals from the various artists makes it an interesting, soothing listen. Some favorites include Therese "Why", Lamb "Hearts and Flowers", Headway "Remind Me To Miss You", Bliss "Breathe", Goldfrapp "Forever", Slovo "Killing Me", I am Kloot "The Same Deep Water as Me", Mooi "Sway" and Elbow "Ribcage" to name just a few. Not a dud in the whole collection.

3.0 out of 5 stars What happened to the WinterChill series ?, July 15, 2005

This review is from: Hed Kandi: Winter Chill 06.03 (Audio CD)

I don't know what happened to this series. They started off one way and ended up another. This cd is nice don't get me wrong but there is very little diversity ! All these songs are accoustic with bare drums or just plain boring. What happened to the Winterchill 2 sound? When the series began they use to show a diverse blend of electronic's and hiphop/TripHop sounding tracks. Now everything souunds like it almost come off the same album or band. The 1st 5 songs on this Cd are beautiful ! Especially the "Slovo" song ! But after that it all starts to run together and sound like one long theme song. I think "Breathe" close to the end of disc one picks up a bit ! But disc 2 I heard barely anything that caught my attention. "Sway & Beautiful" are very catchy and strong songs. But anyway overall compared to the 1st 2 Winterchill efforts the last couple have shown no diversity. I think this will be my last purchase.
