This review is from: Room Service 2 (Audio CD)

I have to say, of the downtempo/nu-jazz/whatever you want to call it, this is some of the best I have heard. The jazz/electronic smooth grooves just keep on rolling without being overdone (such as some of the later Buddha Bars) or redundant. It is well mixed, well thought out, it is well done and that is rare to find. I know I will get a lot of use out of these CDs.

If you started on your journey into ambient / electronic / house / lounge "ecclectic" music by falling in love with the Cafe del Mar, Real Ibiza, Om Lounge, Carte Blanche, or Thievery Corp series, you'll find that there are now about a million copy cats around who bring nothing new to the CD player and don't even stack up to their predecessors. This is one of them.

There's just nothing interesting or original about this set.
It's like going back to your favorite vacation destination and finding bad weather or overcrowded beaches...

At times this CD seems to actually get going into something cool, especially the end of disc 2 (Kool & The Gang's "Summer Madness" blending into "A Thing Of Beauty" by DJ Trax) and there definately are other nice moments along the way. The mixing is superb, but unfortunately the song selection brings us some banal stuff to disrupt the flow (Aim's "Sail" -ughh- and many others that stick to your ears like so much wax).

If you want the real deal, try "Real Ibiza V, The Sun Lounge", or "Private Lounge 3"...
