4.0 out of 5 stars "Real" chill out, July 19, 2001

This album was close to 5 stars. Finally, a chill out album with "real instrument" sound to it. I am not a music producer but I can for sure attest to the authenticity of their sound. It took a couple of listenings, but after a while each track stood out. The first three tracks are incredible. My favorite is song 2, which has a mysterious beat, that makes you want to disconnect the phone, turn off the TV, and just chill with your favorite drink. Although I don't think everything from the ESL label is great, this album, along with Thievery Corps latest release, are the best ear candy out there right now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Music..., June 18, 2005

Whenever I listen to any of the Blue States albums I feel like I am traveling... Traveling away from my worries, leaving them behind to new beginnings. If you love the open road you must buy this album... Very liberating. It has a vintage 70's classic rock music made for film vibe. 10.

This disc is very hard to classify. Judging by some of the other reviews, you wonder if it should be an instrumental, jazz, chill-out or just downtempo/lounge cd. I think if you put all of that together, mix in a healthy filling of electronica and you have Nothing Changes Under the Sun.

I love this CD. It's light and airy, artistic and just a total change of pace from what I was expecting - maybe because I didn't know what to expect. It's heavy instrumentation, and each song sounds like it could have been in a movie soundtrack from - but which time frame? I still haven't figured it out.

If you've listened to Kinobe's Skyscraper, some of the tracks by Blue States' remind me of that style, but are more polished than Kinobe's sound in general IMO. Of course teh most popular song on this CD is "Your Girl", which is fantastic. But Diamente, The Trainer Shuffle, The Golden Touch and Elios Therapia are stunning tracks to me as well.

Definitely Pick this up! IF you're a fan of schema styles, you'd probably like this change of pace. IF you've heard ESL's Modular Systems, you can sample one of Blue State's tracks as well. Enjloy.
