5.0 out of 5 stars VERY nice, July 18, 2001

By 

Asad (California, United States) - See all my reviews

An excellent compilation of mellow mood music from 2 talented DJs Claude Challe and Ravin (of Buddha Bar fame). The first CD is described best as relaxing, calm and smooth, while the second - more upbeat, transient lounging music. With a good mix of Arabic, Hindi and Urdu music, as well as Spanish guitar and other Southern European/African/Latin influences, this collection is definitely sexy and slick.

4.0 out of 5 stars Aural Pleasure, December 2, 2000

By A Customer

As an employee in the music sales industry I hear a lot of music of all styles. Upon listening to this album in store, I was hypnotised by the beautiful tunes Claude has selected. By the time I got to Chris Spheris' second track two copies had been sold and several customers had commented on the album. A must for music lovers who love their music to take them away to a place of aural pleasure and nirvanaesqe beats. I also found it a useful introduction to some new artists. The packing and presentation are an exceptional visual interpretation of the sounds within. Overall a fantastic package.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sly Sexy Mystical Late Night Head Bobber, March 14, 2001

This review is from: Nirvana Lounge (Audio CD)

In the waning hours of an evening at the club, you might drinka coffee in the hope that you will catch that second wind. If you werelistening to Claude Challe & Ravin's Nirvana Lounge, you would notneed that caffeine junket! It is 11:00 pm, and after listening to thissly, sexy, mystical, late night head bobber I can only regret that Idid pay not pay a visit to Challe at the Buddha Bar in Paris lastyear. Start with CD 1 which is heavily infused with easternmusic/lyrical content. A steady musical mantra. Ohm Shanti Ohm. CleverMonsieurs Challe and Ravin actually connect the musical dots of theMiddle East, South America and Africa. Brilliant. Around the world inCD1. The caffeine is in the stream now. Slip in CD2. Get started witha swarmy latin called Senor Coconut! I finally hear the version that IWOULD MIX (!)of that classic "Summertime". CD2 comprisesmore of the suave in-house dance that is very hip these days. ... CD2is in part, the Challe I am not very fond of, but the music is sogreat and so unusual that one has to sit up and take notice....Nirvana Lounge alludes and pays hommage to it all. CD2 IS aptlycalled "Ethnic Lounge". ... Own this CD and be enlightenedyourself.
