Editorial Reviews
Stéphane Pompougnac started out as a waiter at Hôtel Costes before becoming a DJ. Working his way up to resident DJ at the
famous Parisian club Les Bains Douches, he was invited to spin at the ultra chic Hotel Côstes, located in the 1st arrondissement
(the design maxim was all things in excess ) where its bar and Italian style courtyard are its main attractions. Pompougnac s
spinning talents led him to release a compilation CD of which we are proud to present the Twelfth volume. Now celebrating
ten years since the release of volume one, the series has sold over
four million units worldwide. Volume 12 promises to continue the
brands legacy as the top shelf brand in the chillout/electronic
/lounge genre. Pompougnac has become a highly sought after DJ
for a variety of events worldwide, including fashion shows by Gucci
and Yves Saint-Laurent. More than just a DJ, he is considered to
be a personality.

Don't dismiss it, there are some notable tracks here...,

This review is from: Hotel Costes, Vol. 12 (Audio CD)
Yea yea, requires several listens to "grow", I heard that crap before.
I listened to it three times. These are my findings: The album has an outstanding start with the Unforscene chill acoustic guitar mix "Alright" Then goes into a big hole of trashy tunes (read wanna-be songs/poor selections) and to my ears doesn't recover until the outstanding Latin track "Tu no quisieras ser yo" (You Wouldn't Want To Be), reminded me of the Colombian songstress Andrea from the band Aterciopelados. From track 13 on, the album is on a roll! The Ben Westbeech blockbuster "Get closer" is to my ears the best selection of the album. Track 14 "Beijos" is an intimate chill tune, reminded me of Argentinian singer Federico Aubele, featured in previous collections. Tracks 15 and 16 "Ether" and "Plage Ensoleillée" are chill songs nicely sung and arranged. Recommended tracks: Alright *** You Wouldn't Want To Be **** Get Closer ***** Beijos *** Ether *** Plage Ensoleillée ***

What Happened?,
By T.D. (Houston,Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hotel Costes, Vol. 12 (Audio CD)
This CD takes the number twelve spot on my CD player and that's about where it falls when compared to the eleven other Hotel Costes CD's that preceed it. I guess it was to much to hope for that S.P. could keep it up. The selections don't have the range of quality and ability to keep you interested in listening to it more than a time or two...even this may be more of a morbid fascination-playing it the second time, but being such a fan, evenso, after I got it I played it about ten times trying to get into it thinking it was just me, well there is just too much synthasized low quality junk here. S.P. has had the knack to find innovative one hit wonders and under used oldie but goodies for his prior work but these "artist" must have given him this stuff for free in hopes of getting some of their otherwise unsellable CD's sold...and what's with putting pieces with profanity in there? Maybe next year...

The WORST of The Series,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hotel Costes, Vol. 12 (Audio CD)
Since we have come to expect greatness from Stéphane Pompougnac, this disc is a HUGE disappointment. Not at all "cool" or "lounge-y," it comes across as distracted and disjoint. Perhaps SP is too busy traveling the world to take time out for the studio: if so, he should just skip a year, rather than put out such a poor compilation. Save your money for something else; Hotel Costes 12 does not deserve its place in the HC collection.
