First of all, be advised that the extremely favorable Amazon review above is misplaced: it is for the wonderful first volume of the superb Cafe Del Mar series by Jose Padilla, and not for this egregious rip-off of a CD. This terrible CD is a tossed-off collection of dull, repetitive dance tracks. It is neither a successful dance compilation, nor a collection that bears any similarity to the Jose Padilla Cafe Del Mar series (which are not, strictly speaking dance records, but closer to trip hop -- they are "chill," but with more energy). There is not a good, engaging dance track on this record. I have no idea how this cranked-out piece of forgettable music acquired the use of the Cafe del Mar name, but it is an unfortunate marketing device designed to lure devotees into buying a lackluster, uninspired CD. There are a number of other CD's out there that also bear the Cafe del Mar name, but my advice is stick to volumes one through six of the original Cafe del Mar series.

Buyer beware - especially you CDM faithful! This disc has all the appeal of day old toast. The collection is unrelenting, one-dimensional, shrink-wrapped pop. The only things missing are commercials between each track! I'm dumbfounded that this disc carries the Cafe del Mar brand.

I'll definately sail this one out the window.

This is the special sound of the island called balearic-tunes. First class House-music at its best. When the sun goes down and the night is about to begin, this smooth music gives you the best start... If you have ever been to Cafe del mar, Sa Trincha, KM 5 or Particular you know whats about it... SMOOOOTH...(6 STARS)

As one of the multitude of Padilla fans worldwide it seems odd that there is not more opportunity to buy the "CDM" CDs...any good net.capitalist would have thought of a way to bring this music to "the people" buy now. It also seems odd that the editorial review (above) reviews the *wrong* CD...hmmmmm. No comprende. Now, about the music! Yes, this - like any/all Padilla mix - is stunning, fun, beautiful, ripe and rich...a journey for the young soul.
