Sitting in my favorite Thai resturant I was trying to have a conversation and order lunch with a friend....but I kept geting into the music that was playing bobbing my head just feeling it to the point where I told my friend to hold her thought..... I went to the bar and asked the hostess who was the music by, she said "PLUSH" and showed me the CD cover..... man the more I heard the more I wanted... I was blown away, I am a fan of chillout music not a BIG collector of CDs BUT "PLUSH" was a must have for me.... The hostess RECOMMENDED "HOTEL COSTAS 6" also, so I ordered HC6 based on her comments and the AMAZON reviews... it's all good.....even my friend who isn't a BIG music fan dug the heck out of it.. a classic to be.... I could have sat there all afternoon smooooootin & chilllllin GREAT stuff...
5*****+ PLUSH is Plush!

So you wanna have music on that provides some real audio comfort, music that has some very cool rhythms, music that is well-orchestrated and textured, well search no more for Plush delivers on all levels, it is a lovely mix of music in the so-called "downtempo" vein but it is really above and beyond just the latest kind of thing, instead it is a combination of some very sexy music that exemplifies the best in current trends in music! I found it to be wonderful for playtime and my lover agreed with some stunning sonic cues to me as the disc unwound the first time we had it on as we got it on! It is certainly a great disc for the romantically inclined although it is good enough to be just darn good without having to occupy anything specific by way of description since it rolls easily all the way from the very cool to the beautifully hot. I could wax on about my fave tracks but I actually love them all, it is a well put together set and has that magical sort of flow from track to track. You should try it on for love, don't even say a word to your sweetie, just put forward your best kiss and let the disc play, Plush indeed!

A very intersting and smart product inside the world of the chillout collection.
It's not easy to define a proper identy in a large offer of chillout cd.
Plush it's a brillant cd, well made in all aspect (very nice cover inside and outside), and in particular with the music.
Each songs give almost the best of the single artists (for example : Wondabraa with Lately (parachute) or Alex Cortiz with Fingerprints, but also Todos os Dejos of Fantastic Plastic Machine and Apricot Morning of Quantic...
Good taste of the producer in every songs (i love Cadien with Bud)the athmosphera it's really sexy, funky, contemporary grooves....
I suggest for all the people that are in love with Costes series...here you will find a real top level alternative.

This disc is really something to unwind with... The beats are smooth and refreshing and leaves you wanting more.......

all around smooth energy captured in a musical format. wanna take a drive at 3:00 am and ponder your place in Life...this will be a nice non-judgemental driving companion. feel more like flesh is in the cards for you...and an element of passion, fashion and simply a nice accoutrement for a soothing and sweaty grand finale. especially that sweet little diddy "controversy". well then...you could do worse than add this to your collection of music that fits many moods...but I think I highlighted the primary ones in my description above. enjoy.

The tracks are all over the stylistic map, but fit together perfectly logically. I've listened to my copy over ten times now from start to finish and I'm continuously surprised at the freshness of the music. And who is attached to that sexy leg on the cover art?

I originally wrote a looong @$$ review of this CD because it was so outstanding, but for some strange reason it, along with several other reviews I wrote, did not get posted--so, I will be very brief and to the point with this review...pLUSH is the bomb-diggety--if I may steal an old mid-90s r&b cliche! The CD itself goes beyond conventional chill-out and reaches a new level in the genre. Indeed, pLush gushes wonderfully with everything from 2-step (Steve Austeen w/Gillian O'Donovan) to groovy-ambient-funk (Wonderbraa, Alex Cortiz, Mum and Quantic) to acid jazz (Cadien and Hatler) to samba (S-Tone and Victor Davies) and everything in between. There's even a killer, albeit more laid-back, remake of Prince's "Controversy" by Hefner that actually (in my opinion) sounds better than the original...I always said it takes real skill and effrontery to redo anything by Prince! Other chill-out albums should take notes from pLUSH in trying to create something new in the very mundane world of chill-out/downtempo music...after listening to this set it's obvious that there's more to that style of music than drone beats and hallucinogenic singers...pLUSH has indeed set a new standard in chill-out--if you can even begin to categorize it in that format. Now, let's hope this review gets posted this time!!

I did not care for this compelation at all. I couldn't recommend it. It's much more souly that I expected.
